The 562 and 550xo v1 discussion made me want to further my understanding of heat soak.
It’s approaching summer in the desert. I’m native to AZ and the summer means lots of daylight, so I still work outside like normal, maybe even more.
The other day I needed to remove a few trees and my recently rebuilt, and dead reliable 272xp began to get weak and would die off throttle. Switched to my recently built 288xp because I might as well. Exact same symptoms. I started with a 200t and it was really off from normal, but wasn’t dying. No amount of carb adjustment was working on any of the saws
Fuel was fresh non-ethanol with Amsoil Sabre 40:1.
Does this sound like heat soak? It was easily 105*F while cutting? What temperature equals heat soak conditions?
Are there better suited saws for the heat?
