Is he still alive? Last I heard from him…many years ago…he had stopped doing saws after a bad lathe accident and other health issues. He didn’t sound good over the phone from what I can remember.

Man gotta know his limitations, some people never get a second chance .
renamed, but not re changed! lol...Did you see we got the thread renamed!

I can imagine air density and currents can be a pretty big deal when flying. When I was a kid working at a trap/skeet club, I knew these old timers who'd come in to shoot skeet on Saturday mornings. Most were retired pilots (one flew b-26s in WW2) and they'd tell stories about small, single engine planes getting pushed out of the sky by downdrafts, when crossing the Sierras.we always liked to fly in it...
That was my thought also. I heard it does get cold in Alaska.After reading your post again. I would bet my power saw that your power saw has a problem with icing!
I doubt you'll see much difference in different bar sizes on the same powerhead. The 660 should be slower then the 360 I'd imagine. The bigger saws Don have the rpm in the cut like the smaller displacement saws. Well, till you start to dog them in hard. I don't have any experience with the 360, but I've ran 362 I'd imagine they should be close to the same. (?)Im going to post a video of my , Hopped 661 bucking a 14" log with a 36" bar. Then the same log, power head, chain compliment, wheel, and grind, but with a 16" bar.
Then Im going to post a video limbing one side of a dry sound snag with my stock 360 spinning a 20" Then the other half with my stock 660 spinning a 32" both with the same size wheel, chain pitch, compliment, and grind.
We shall then see if you're theory is actually fact Sir.
Give me a few days to put it all together!
You should see how blunt I am on my 1/5 scale rc forum. Like a sledgehammer.This place has a mellow vibe to it...so I try to be really polite and mellow on this forum, I'm a bit different on the dirtbike forum I'm on. People are less mellow there and they have a few members that are confident morons. I'm a much better offroad rider than I am a cutter...so I'm pretty blunt with the morons on that site. They'll just pass on really outdated or blatantly false information to new members looking for advice. I don't really get pissy with them, I'll just casually troll them...they eventually lose their cool and show themselves for who they are.
.243 for life screw the crudmmore.I hear ya.
I dislike the creedmore not because there's really anything wrong with it, but because of all the hype that people buy into. And then they defend it as if all other cartridges are now and forever obsolete, because the mighty 6.5 cm has arrived...
ThisCurious before I start a new thread if anyone has any ideas what would cause my 346xp to not run in the cold.
Saw is one of the later ones with the primer bulb, but like the rest of my saws with that nonsense, I don’t use it.
It will fire right up and run great in the summer, no issues at all. As soon as the temps get down below freezing though it starts a bit harder, and will only run for about 20 seconds at high idle and then did. At idle it will run a bit longer but die as well. Right off the start cold I can get a couple good revs out of it, but then it will start to bog down and not want to rev.
Any ideas?
This would be my uneducated guess.If it is not running cold, but runs after it warms up? The carburetor is probably icing up on you. The STIHL 066 was notorious fir this. They even had there own separate bolt on winter kit to restrict cold air from coming in through the main cooling fan on the flywheel and restrict warm air from going out, so it would circulate around the carburetor more to prevent icing.
I had to change my profile photo to honor that victory lolDid you see we got the thread renamed!
Maybe, but none of my other saws have the issue. Sure, I might have to tweak the carb, but they will run.Cold dense air causing it to run lean?
Heck, I can’t always keep up and I usually check it several times a day.I try to catch up nearly every day, and still have to skim most posts.
Never runs long enough to get warm. If I bring it in the house and bring it up to temp, it will run, as soon as it gets cold again nothing.If it is not running cold, but runs after it warms up?

Very possible. Curious that my other 346 doesn’t do it though, although it is older without the primer bulb.After reading your post again. I would bet my power saw that your power saw has a problem with icing!

Could very well be an air leak. That would compound an icing problem as well. After it dies can you hold the throttle wide open on the pistol grip with one hand, lay the saw's bar on a log with the other (chain break off) and "yo yo" start the saw? If you can. Run it for a few minutes without letting it die. It'll probably smoke and be a bit boggy, but run it fir a few minutes staying on the pipe as much as you can. Then after a few minutes. Let it die. Then, while staying outside, hold the saw upright with the grip pointing up and the tip on the ground. Let it sit for a minute or two. If it fires up after two or three minutes. You've got icing conditions and need to somehow block 1/2 of you air fan on the suction side. Duck tape over the outside of half your starter cover works great!Never runs long enough to get warm.

I’m actually starting to wonder if I have an air leak that only shows it’s ugly face in the cold.
Nope, once it dies the only way it will start is with the choke on. Adds that first 10 seconds of it running it will not rev up, just bogs, no matter how many times I restart itCould very well be an air leak. That would compound an icing problem as well.

But once you bring it inside to warm up. It lights off, or fires up if you will? (Starts)Nope, once it dies the only way it will start is with the choke on. Adds that first 10 seconds of it running it will not rev up, just bogs, no matter how many times I restart it
