Osage, are you the guy that took the saw back with the complaint of slow cutting and when they fired it up, asked "What's that noise" ? [/quote Yeah,I wasn't to impressed with the dang thing,now I just use a teeny tiny stick of dynamite for making holes
This a joke too much arguing. To sum things up... Run a clear bar and don't run bar oil. If you saw runs sb*tty then pull the plug and read it. It may be running too lean. Either way, warm up your saw because cold seizure is more of an issue if your saw is really cold. Now I am holding my breath for a computer controlled fuel injected chainsaw. Hope you get my sarcasm.
I would use oil on the chain. Try fish oil, specifically Omega3.
