    Summer heat and the 346XP

    Okay, Been tuning my saws for 30+ years and sometimes they run just great for years and then this one decides to give me grief. It's my newest 346XP - has run great for about 9 months with the usual maintenance, but now when it gets hot out (97* today, triple digits for the next three days...
