Poulan overheat work around?

Wow interesting that they would produce a saw with this problem when the potential fix, or at least improvement, is so easy (punch a bigger hole). There must be some other reason they kept the hole small, maybe emissions or sound. I've got to get the proper torx driver to get the muffler off and then I'll give this a try.

Matt , the LE in the model number is for low emissions .
Have you ever cleaned the spark arrestor screen on your saws ?

No I haven't, it probably needs it. I'll tackle that at the same time I try the muffler mod.
