    Puddles??? I'd say a small pond. Poulans will oil for 2 hours after shutdown.

    Yeah, I should qualify - 1990 and newer 42cc Poulans.

    Out of ignorance, Mike, of how to set mixture UNDER LOAD, and not understanding the stress this applies to piston skirts when the engine is revved so far above peak power? IMHO it's a quick, cheap and dirty kludge, and I've seen two saws adjusted pig-rich that way. No mo.

    Warming it up won't preserve the piston.

    One more reason I love AT.
