Anyone have any experience milling with a husky 288xp lite, I am new to chainsaw milling as are my friends and we were doing a 16in diameter 7ft long cherry the other night when my saw started to smoke out of the flywheel cover slots. Only third cut and let saw cool for 20min between cuts. Haven't had the problem before. I stopped pulled the top cover off the saw and there was no chips or anything inside although it looked like the cover over the muffler was starting to turn black like it was burning. No deforming though. Any tips to modify the top plastic cover over the muffler to reflect heat, or general tips would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to not destroy my equipment and maximize my efforts. Thanks
