Picked up a 261 and 462 today from the dealer in town. Guy starts the 261 and says it needs to idle for 30 seconds on choke to 'calibrate' and then after what seemed like less than 30 seconds he proceeds to pin the throttle. After about 10 seconds I try to get his attention and tell him to stop but he continues for what seemed like over a minute. I mean he just pinned it for what seemed like forever and made like 6 or 7 lines of oil on a piece of wood (I notice at home that the oiler was turned all the way down and the clutch cover is on finger tight). By the time he turns it off and hands it to me the thing is *f-wording hot. Is it just me or is that exactly what you are not supposed to do with a new saw? Needless to say I did not let him touch the 462.
