    Why won't saws start when hot?!

    Maybe keep the gas in quart oil bottles in a cooler of ice. Fill up the air conditioned saw with ice cold gas just before you fire them up. Ice cold bar oil could help cool down the crank case after a run, so the heat doesn't transfer to the gas tank and carb as much.

    Why won't saws start when hot?!

    This seems to be a pretty common issue at least in my experience. I used to rarely if ever run chainsaws in the hot summer because it is too hot to work. I do it more now and of course know others that do obviously because we all need work. Recently my echo 271t which would always start in two...
