High temps effect on starting chainsaw??

[cessna]

.

How do the Aussies etc deal with this? 30C is pullover weather for some of them!

 

 

 

Great question ,lets hope you get some,"SENSIBLE",answers as joking aside it can be a serious problem.

Some saws have a one way breather so if the fuel expands in the tank with heat, it is possible that the pressure may force fuel past the needle valve in the carb and flood the engine, especially on older saws with softer needle valve springs.

 

If the saw has a two way valve, it should make it more reliable in extreme temprtures.

 

I guess a reasonable thing to do is to leave the cap slightly undone and the saw on it's side if left in the heat or leave it in the shade.

 

These are just my thoughts and not from experience though I have seen saws flood from doing the fuel cap up and this pressure forcing fuel past the needle!

So the "New Generation "so say computerised chainsaw engines cannot self adjust for hot /cold weather??

In the woods today,the saws were left in the shade when not being used,but they werent running or starting properly.

Except the dolmar which wasnt bothered by the heat.
