OVER HEATED SAWS?

[bosshoss1]

it was 85 degrees here in s.e. michigan this afternoon.
we were clearing 400 yards prox of brush with 6 guys.
but please tell me why these saws-not all homies-get hot and then won't start(my old girlfriend had the same problem)?
i took the presure off the fuel cap on all-but we had a hard time getting them to fire-3 out of 4.they'll start well-as did my old girlfriend--when they are cold.
is there any secret to doing this?
is vapor lock something that you have to deal with-even though you take the pressure off the gas lid??
if there is a secret please lemmeno.
thanks-the boss.

Boss, if the saws start fine when cold but won't restart when hot, a common diagnosis is coil going bad, or sometimes only bad spark plug or plug wire. Heat increases resistance or something. My Stihl 025 did this - I'm waiting on a replacement coil, hoping that fixes it.

My Homelite is like my Irish GF, won't quit when hot, I have to work her until one of us runs out of gas.

You are lucky now, Give it time. If you are interested in establishing a genuine savings account based on your current good fortune let me know.

You got to keep them clean, and blowed out so the air can get through to keep them cool .
