If it was you and you are the boss then you can do what you like ! If it was my boss/mate he would be blaming me for not reminding him the chipper was on !

As Jon says . Lots of air . Be ready next winter if you keep it dry and aired .

How old is it ? if not that old just take it back . If you have had it for a long time / its done a bit , could be a number of things . The idle circuit is working ok obviously but the other jets could be out of adjustment . Air filter could be blocked . Tank vent could be blocked throttle linkage could be a problem , plug could be at fault , . Try the gauze filter in the carb , sounds like there might be some crud in there . Garden or Spud will be along soon to sort it !

How many types of fungi can you find on 1 tree?

This is what I do cos I got no choice . All my wood is stacked in lengths ( bark side up , like a stack of cord ) in the open . It gets rained on . I split what I can and fill my log stores . Split wood will dry / season quicker than un processed wood but only if you can keep it dry and aired . What I cant store in this way I leave as log lengths to minimize water up take . It works for me but it could be more efficient if I had more storage . does this make sense ?

I think the EPA saws are similar ( just different the stickers ) . Its the California specific saws that are stricter on emissions . So much so that the already " pants " Husky 338 had to have the capacity upped to 45cc to try and get some sort of performance out of it . It was still worse than the 38cc one .

If its the one on fleabay the motor is not powerful enough , and its belt drive . My opinion of course but based on experience .
-
That was me I think
-
If you are going to make it like mine with its own engine you will need 25hp min and chain drive not belt .Its the torque that you need . My cone splitter is faster than my hydraulic one until you get a gnarly old bit of something which stalls it . Then you loose all the time you gained cutting it off the cone . Once you get up around 25-30hp there is enough torque to avoid this . If you run one off a tractor then never a problem .

Agreed
-
Sounds like low compression . Quits when it gets hot .
