    I find it better to not change the summer and winter shutter. Never experienced carb icing and I’d probably leave it in winter mode cutting in the summer.

    I appreciate all the responses! Good to see some other perspectives. I think I'll stick to the regular stuff and just keep my saw inside before I go out to cut. If I don't see any oil coming off the tip I'll consider cutting the oil with a little fuel or just not cutting in those temps! Thanks guys.
