Decembers only chance of fly in the ointment for me will be if I have to plow snow on that day. Cold only means working harder to stay warm, take that over these past weeks of temps in the 90s. Vertically challenged and sharpening in the woodyard worked fine for me last year.

Fall is fast approaching less than a month until GTG. Not much talk going on here is there a PM or other conversation going on elsewhere?

Most of the newer Stihl R saws that are available wrap handle come with a larger clutch cover and felling dogs as compared to the standard version.

Might suggest you start by looking in the cupboard. 🥴 does not come with the fancy packaging and marketing but a welding blanket is basically the same thing twice the size and half the price.;)

What is the fuel tank vent modification? :thinking:

PM sent I have not decided which route but was just about to head over to dealer to look at both 462 and 500i.

The saw 2024 mfg is not duel ported but the internal baffle was opened 1/2"X3/4" between its first week of usage and last weeks usage with no apparent change in hot start issue, saw did seem to run a bit stronger when cutting but may have been placebo effect no harm no fowl felling partner did...

Newish stock saw probably less than 50 tanks. saw started hard when hot but always eventually started, the final nail was Fri afternoon high 90s saw refueled in the shade fuel can in the shade 3 guys tried restarting the saw to no avail :BangHead: we did not pull the plug I grabbed a non AT...

As stated previously I am about feed up with my 572XPG hot start issues, at this point even a non ported 462 or 500i is looking good.

Apologies for derailing a for sale thread.

Sorry! my intent was not to single out your comment rather a general reply to the fuel being used not being an issue in non AT saws. Perhaps it does have something to do with AT/MT saws running leaner and thus hotter as farminkarman pointed out.

Last Fridays afternoon temps mid 90s felling and bucking saw and veneer logs, 572 hot start issue no start issue cutting partner using gas from the same can of 91 non oxy offroad in his 372s and I used fuel from the same can of gas to finish the day with a G444.

I am confused with $2200 shipped PowerHeadOnly and will throw in a new 20" or 25" bar and chain, which is it PHO or with B&C and secondly which 25" B&C? I am about fed up with my 572XP hot start issues. :BangHead:

Apple or Hickory smoked?

Does anyone have a website for serial numbers on saws so that I can see the dealer reports on how many times it has been serviced?:stick:
