4Corners,

Do you port your chainsaws after they are past the warranty period?

I have cut trees several times that were probably too big for my 18" bar and too wet to cut well with a sharp chain. My saw was bogging down on those cuts, despite operating normally under typical loads. Is that a good reason to stretch for a little more HP for a given saw?

(Might as well hijack my own thread since I have some good engine guys giving advice!)

P.S. Thanks for the spkplg update. I hope he is doing well!
