I guess you decided NOT to hang it all up?
Of course only 1 in 5000 people know that, you would need to read the manual to know that.
LOL! Exactly....
Reading the manual is one thing, remembering about this feature having done so is another!
I read the manual. Once. But it was for the vcr, not a chainsaw.
😂
I had never heard of this, but a guy on our crew asked one of the climbers if he set his Stihl to "winter mode" .. I thought he was making a joke
Pre-heated air is required for any engine with a venturi carburetor when the dewpoint and temperature are able to cause icing. "Venturi effect" Leading edge of an airplane wing is basically half a venturi, and when the leading edge ices up, the plane stops "flying". Moisture in the air turns to ice until things warm up.😅 your chainsaw doesn't know a warm air filter from cold sap!
After using chainsaws for 40 years, how could I not have known this??? What a gem of wisdom....... thanks.
You're Welcome...
I just learned that the Buffalo gals in the Erie Canal song we all sang as kids in school were workers in a certain industry, don't feel bad
Hey, I'm 1 in 5000, my Stihl Farm Boss has that feature. I saw the icon and had to look in the manual to see what it was for when changing my air filter.
I dont think older saws had this option.
Steve - still the GOAT👍
Stevie! You’re back! Don’t ever leave us.
Beat me to it.
I know , what happened ? Glad to see him back .
Steve, you are a National Treasure... I called on the Stihl plant in Virginia Beach as a vendor back in the day. They should fly you out there and give you a plant tour. It's probably the most organized, clean, well laid out plant I have seen. You would thoroughly enjoy it. And if they were smart, they would ask you to join their R&D and design teams for a "what if" creativity meeting!
MikeBeam--You sure got THAT right! Steve is a fount of knowledge--both practical "hands on" stuff and Owner's Manul. A very rare combo!
And like the beer plant tours they could had a few beers at the end of it and get a lot of his knowledge.
Found our older Stihls had this. Made a big difference in how they ran at 0 farinheit. Showed this video to our local Stihl dealer and it was news to them.
If it wasn't dark out and about zero F out there, I'd be out in the barn right now checking my SAW!!!!
Do it tomorrow!
I guess I’ll have to do it tomorrow when it warms up to freezing + and in daylight! My 260Pro is out in the garage and I’m at 5000’ with plenty of snow on the ground! Thanks for the tip!
Things you never knew. Thanks Steve.
You're Welcome...
You are correct. Being a relative newbie to the world of chainsaws I read and re read the manual. In conversations with folks that have spent much of their lives using chainsaws I was surprised at the number of puzzled looks when I'd ask them if they swapped the shutter into winter mode on their saws.
I knew exactly where you are headed started the video. Also is very important that people change back to summer mode when it gets warmer. Otherwise you might have some overheating issues.
Agreed!
I try to never use a chainsaw over 50 degrees. I sweat at 30 below....
Important thing to mention: This winter mode is only good down from ~10 C above freezing (50 Fahrenheit) to 0 C (32 Fahrenheit). The air at these temperatures has alot of water vapor in it, and as the fuel is pulled inside the carb and vaporized, it cools that 10 C air to below freezing, creating ice deposits (like a bodyspray can getting colder as you spray away and vaporize the contents). At below freezing ambient air its not needed, as at that temperature and below the air is close to 0% humidity so there's no ice that can form. Using it below that temperature you're just putting dirtier air inside the air filter area, clogging it faster than usual (and potentially making the saw run richer due to the hot air being less dense than the cold one that it was tuned at).
Common sense should always apply!
@@em4703 Good info. So can you clarify at what outdoor temperature range you should start using Winter Mode? 10C is still pretty warm, so if you shouldn't use it when it's LESS than 10C, what range SHOULD you use it in???
Great stuff and Excellent to see you back Steve. Don't listen to the haters keep the videos coming.
Thanks, will do!
Figured this out 13 years ago on one of my Huskies. Before that I couldn't figure why it took so long to get running smooth in the winter. I discovered it by chance. Anyway, another well-deserved thumbs up for you.
Thank You...
Early plane crashes just after taking off were a mystery for years, because the iced venturi had melted by the time inspection was done.
As an engineer I'm just interested in how things work, but I watch this guy because he is so entertaining. Keep up the good stuff, Steve. Thanks.
Thanks, will do!
I have a Stihl saw that looks just like that. I had no idea that I could change it to Winter mode. Thanks Steve! I just learned something. Usually, I stay inside when it's cold.
Glad to help
Cheers Steve! I have an MS230 and saw the symbols on that diverted plate but couldn't figure out how it fitted it the other way round. Now I know, you are the oracle of all garden machinery. Thanks again !
Thanks! Not normally needed in North Alabama but could help this year.
Glad to help!
I will never use a chain saw in the snow down here in south Texas but your videos are always worth watching and a thumbs up.
Wow, thanks!
Some Stihl manuals say change modes below 50 degr F. Doesn't it get that cold in south Texas? If not, lucky you!
Steers and queers come from tejus... You don't look like a steer.
May you get a massive speeding ticket next time you're driving in Texas
What, you're not man enough to work out in that legendary Texan snow?
Steve, you never cease to amaze me. You're casting pearls most every time you post a video. For someone like me, this channel is gold. I really appreciate you.
WOW! Thank You...
Are you calling us watching pigs?😂
Great tip.....never knew some chainsaws had this.....great for cutting firewood in the winter.
Right on
Great tip Steve. Good to see you again 😊
Right on
WELCOME BACK Steve. Been missing all of your fine videos. Keep them coming!
I learned about that feature when I rebuilt my Husky 50 Special. Saw it on the heat shield as I was taking it apart, and then read about it's purpose in the manual. Just goes to show; always read the manual!
Right on
I had someone tell me this, I would have never known. Now just have to remember to do it. Thanks Steve.
You're Welcome...
Snow!!! This time of the year. Lucky I'm in Australia then isn't it? Good to see you back mate 👍
Good info Steve!! Thanks for all the great information and helpful videos you provide to all of us less informed DIY ers.
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this presentation.
Great report and help.
You are a gem of a fellow and a good judge of beers!! Thanks for these pearls of wisdom!!
Thanks Steve, feels good to learn something new everyday.
My old husky sg240 has a slide lever to move the exhaust gas round the big left hand handed to keep your hands warm in cold weather 😊👏
I knew that on backpack blowers but not on chainsaws. Thanks for the great tip.
Glad to help
I knew my saw had it, but never checked the blower. I had the blower out last week in -4° to blow snow. It stays in the garage and I warmed it up in there before heading out, but still good to know
Great information! Thanks.
Mind blown! Have had an MS230 forever and never knew this. Lucky to get -10C during the day lately here in Eastern Ontario. Thanks Steve.
Glad to help!
Not weather I’m inclined to be out cutting in. Hit -21 this week in Muskoka, On.
Fantastic info.
Wow. I just learned something. Thanks Steve.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge it’s appreciated
Awesome Nugget of info SteveO! Glad to see a video from you. Hope all is well with you and April .Cheers 🍻 SteveO Out
didn't know that. Thanks!!!!
You're Welcome...
Thank you for this info. I need to go check my saw to see if I have this useful feature.
Thank you Steve! You give so much great advice and help.
Great Info Steve your tips are very beneficial . have another cool one you deserve it.
very informative. thanks brother 👍
Good to see you back.
Thanks for the reminder Steve! You're awesome!
I had no idea! Thanks Steve!
great tip thanks
Wicked cool. My Stihl, MS250? is pretty old, but I'm going to check that tomorrow because I've burned through a lot more firewood thus far than I planned. So I've got some cutting on tap this week. Thanks Steve!
You're Welcome...
Checked online about the MS250 (which I have) and yes it has the baffle. Good to know.
@@xAnAngelOfDeathx Thanks! I was too, ahem, busy (enjoying some brews) to go out to the shed to look, but honestly, I was totally ignorant of this and I do a fair share of cold weather cutting so I'm interested to see if there's an improvement. Thanks!
literally could have used this yesterday, I had some inclination that there was a winter mode but I thought it was a carb adjustment and the saw ran well enough that I didn't bother. Thanks for the info
Nice one Steve. Stop carb icing. Sweet 👌
Well ya' learn something new everyday. Thanks for the knowledge!
That is some cool info. Thanks, Steve.
Outstanding!
Thanks Steve
Just checked the 036 manual. Yup, it's right there! All these issues I've had with the engine cutting off in winter after it's warmed up. Freaking legend, Steve!
Great tip and advice. Mine has a slide and it does help
I love watching your channel, you never cease to amaze me with the little tips you come up with that I had no idea that existed. Thank you Steve for everything you do. I will continue to watch and learn from the master.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Great info, thanks
I'm one of the 4999... Thanks Steve! I learnt something today.
Right on Stella!
Thank you!
I love your videos. I learn so much from you . Thanks again
Thank you for the information
Wow Steve! I’ve got the MS180, 250 & 391 and had no idea of this feature, appreciate Sir!!
I've got my dad's old Echo 500VL chainsaw. Best I can remember he bought it new sometime around 1976-1979. I had to carry all the wood he cut with it when I was a small lad. It still runs great to this very day!! And the memories I have back then helping my dad!!
Awesome!! Thanks!
Learn something from every Steve video.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Glad to hear it!
Great video Steve, thanks. Just checked about my MS250 and yup, it's got the summer/ winter baffle. Cheers
Glad it helped
Welcome back Steve. You're back where you belong. It'll be good for all of us.
I've had my 230 for years and never knew this, thanks for the tip.
Hello Steve so glad to see you are continuing with your Ytube.
Holy moly, I never knew about this. Thank you.
Hey! Good information, I never had this feature on a saw. Very glad I have it, thank you Steve. I'll spread your channel around.
Thank You...
I absolutely love all your videos. Please keep it up. I also live here on the Island so anything to do with weather conditions also affects me.
Right on
Thanks for the tip, great info share.👍
You are the man! Thanks for the enlightenment!
Thanks Steve. Great tip I’ve missed on my 20 year old MS250 !
You're Welcome...
Thank you Steve!
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for this. Frequently I have a hard time getting my chainsaw to perform in the cold weather. I just looked a a few of my saws and they have this feature. I have been slinging chainsaws for over 50 years and I didn’t have a clue about this.
Was unaware of the different modes. I have that same chainsaw. Thanks for the info!
Interesting, never knew that and neither does anyone I know. Thanks Steve
Awesome info Steve!!
Thank You...
Pretty cool Steve, great tip man.... thx for posting that..... cheers 🍻
No problem 👍
Thanks!
Much appreciated Steve!!! Thanks a million!!
Any time!
Good information… Thanks!
You're Welcome...
Brilliant mate - did not know this!
I use to flip mine but not cold enough usually in Raincouver BC Stihl 😊
Sounds about right- 1 in 5000 people actually read their owners manual.
My Stihl dealer actually showed me this feature before I purchased it.
Great job Steve you rule.....
Happy New Year, Steve!
Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Cool deal Steve thanks
Very cool, ty!
Thanks Steve! I thought the icons represented the operators age and maturity.
Great info!
Glad you think so!
Wow, it's amazing what can be found in an owner's manual!!
Every days a school day! Thanks👍
Great video as usual, Steve!
Thanks again!
You're Welcome...
I did know about this,was shown by instructor on my saw maintenance course years ago👍have never needed to use it though😉
Thanks for sharing!
