    A properly sharpened chain . A chain that is near the end of its useful working life , if sharpened properly, will have narrower cutters thus removing less wood ( narrower kirfe ) therefore less resistance resulting in slightly faster cutting speed. I some times will give a new chain a stroke or two with a file if I have nothing better to do .

  5. This . The smaller the the restriction that you force hydraulic oil through the hotter it becomes . Partially clogged filters have more restriction than clean ones .
  6. Stihl do make synthetic 2T oil but I think that OP was given their mineral based oil . OK for older saws that don't rev so high and generate so much heat .
  7. Mineral based oils are not up to the spec for the piston speed and associated heat me thinks .
  8. This . Its finding one now . I have a 2004 spud ported 346 and it is still going strong .
