Chainsaw Repair

Now this might sound silly but I wonder if the 441 and the 201T would have had better performance if by some way they could have pre heated the fresh air partial transfer charge .Every one I ever ran did okay after it got plenty warmed up .Now that's a pain in the azz having to run the danged thing a couple minutes to get it to run right .

It's not a new idea at all .Caterpiller did it on the old pony start diesels .Ran the pony engine exhaust right through the diesel intake manifold .Warmed the air.Be kind of  tough to do on a chainsaw but I bet it could be done,just  for the fresh air part .Not the fuel /air part .
