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 if not just one pull when warmed up now takes 5-10 pulls. Is it vapor lock, fuel nearly boiling in the lines or fizzing out when it enters the carb causing a lean mixture? For the first few pulls it doesn't fire at all, then sometimes it does that thing where you hit full throttle and it wants to die. I'll go to check to see if it ran out of gas to have the gas boil out all over. A guy I work with will give me a saw to fix complaining it doesn't run right and is hard to start. I usually have no trouble with it, and run it till it's hot without issues, give it back, and he says it runs great for 20min then doesn't start.
Do you guys who work in hot locations have this much trouble with starting hot saws? What is the solution? Do you know of any chainsaw models that tend to have this problem more than others, or is it pretty much with any? The only thing that comes to mind is trying 100% gas 93 octane, and add a little diesel to hopefully increase the boiling point.
