after an injection of redbull I got this killer idea! See if turning on heated handle would rob the saw of some performance.
41" cannon. .404 Stihl RS full comp 117dl. 7pin
Heated handles OFF - 32.5 , 422F max temp on thermocouple.
Heated handles ON - 31.9 , 425F -
knew after the first cut (heat OFF) the chain was just a touch too tight. It's hard to get it just right on the 41". It's right on the edge of not enough oil. Anyway, I loosened it a touch for the 2nd cut (heat ON). So pretty sure that is why the cut is half sec faster. Temps the same. Conclusion - doesn't hurt performance at all.
