Do you think the big chainsaw companys don't do it because they would sell less saws per year and dealers would lose the money for labor costs of fitting a new p & c on a burnt up saw?
Howdy,
I just can't imagine a company doing that. All kidding aside, I think this is a good idea, and a good thread. I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. You want the sensor to shut the saw off (saved the saw, lost the house scenario). I started thinking the warning light might be the way to go. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that once I start cutting, I might not look at the powerhead til it runs out of fuel or oil. I think something tactile would be more efficient. Retarding, or a skip a spark ignition would let you know something is up. I'm thinking the best alternative would be something that starts slowly closing the choke, and hold the partial position of closure until you stop and reset it. This way is not only tactile, but will start the cooling before you shut down.
Regards
