Hi,
I have a new Makita 4300 (fomerly Dolmar 421) that only has a few hours on it. I was using it the other day in 70 degree temps and it wouldn't restart unless I let it cool down for a half hour or more. The saw is basically brand new: clean, sharp, fresh ethanol free gas. New. I have had this problem before with other saws but at higher outside temps, including a Husky 555, a Dolmar 421 and a Stihl 362 on hot days. Does the carb need to be tweaked? What is going on? Also, I have that little window closed off keeping the heat from the carburetor.
