Gidday Hautions11 I hear ya about milling in the cool we are planning to mill early in the morning 8am on wards ,we live in a city that has a 1,000,000 + people ,noise restrictions and only plan to mill for 2hrs before it gets to hot, right now its 80f at 10am its a real concern cause I dont want to end up cooking our saws and bars I allready killed 1 saw on our rail mill my fault to hot and over excited to get our 1st cuts done .saw was iffy and I knew that but it was a freebie 750 homelite cooked the piston through chrome flaking off the bore ya live and learn some times the hard way . I work repairing chainsaws etc and the amount of dead saws that we get in, through the only way I can put this is heat exhaustion is staggering (siezed piston) through cutting when day is to hot, not enough 2stroke oil in fuel mix , and suprizingly to much oil in mix . lean piston siezures on the intake port side through excess oil lowering air fuel ratio in cylinder charge at high revs more oil= less fuel to burn =leaner mix only struck this twice but can happen sorry about being so long winded in these post am new to this so if I'm to chatty tell me and I'll shorten up till later MillinginOz
