    That young fellow was obviously inexperinced .Most of us would have walked over the top then down through in one fell swoop .---or maybe not ,everybody does it differently .

    Along the same lines and first admitting I'm not an aviator .However I know several pilots and this is what they said on carbeurated air craft such as a small Cesana . Once they made the climb to say 5-7000 feet or whatever they flew at ,they watched the cylinder head temperature and could...

    That's one of the reasons I run 32 to 1 but enough said about that .:) I could have said I never hung one if a situation hadn't occured recently .I think I grabbed a squeeze bottle of straight gas and ruined a cylinder on a Mac .My fault from not paying attention ,head up azz .:( Things...

    Summer heat and the 346XP

    It was a week or two ago when I helped Tom on one of his jobs .It was a clearing job and part of it was mowing around 400 feet of 6-8 foot tall cattails clogging a drainage ditch . The temperature was mid 90's . My poor tractor was running hot,vapor locking and just had a hell of a time .I set...

    Yes that was what I was talking about .Something about like you'd set up a saw to mill with .4 stroking hard but not blowing black smoke .They don't run worth a hoot but it will cool them down a tad but at least they run . You get the same thing kind of on a 4 cycle engine .It's just as easy...

    A couple of my Stihls have the place for a so called cold weather kit but because the were not sold in a cold climate they were not so equipted .Ohio is cold enough,I'll grant you than but not like Norway or Alberta .Geeze freeze the business off a brass monkey in October .

    Butch some of the newer saws are equipted with a deflecter that throws heat back on the carb so they run better at low temps .I don't own any that new myself ,kinda goes with out saying .:lol:

    A fully baffled muffler creates heat for that matter but that's a different subject .

    Summer heat and the 346XP

    On occasion the electronic ignition moduals rebel if they get over heated also . Might sound funny but if you set the thing a tad rich it will run cooler because a rich gas mixture burns cooler .Old trick in WW2 by fighter pilots with a shot up war bird that was runnng hot was to pull the choke...
