After rebuilding a Husqvarna 345 with a new 45mm big bore piston and cylinder, it seems to be running a little warmer than usual. I cut a 14" limb and the saw died once the cut was finished. So I reached over to press the decompression valve and got a nasty shock. Seems the saw was running so hot that the plastic body of the decompression valve melted, exposing the metal center which I tried to push.
Prior to this, I tuned the saw with a Fast Tach. I also replaced the plastic carb clamp with a nice metal one. While it was a real PITA to get on, I am very happy with how tight it is vs. the stock one.
So, what's going on here? Too much muffler? Maybe too much cowbell...
