What would you expect to be a normal block engine temp for a 2 chainsaw engine when testing with a Infrared thermometer?
And what would be a too high block temp range probably checking the jug area temp?
Anyone ever try checking or monitoring the block temp of a 2 cycle or chainsaw to detect when temp is getting out of normal range due to lean carb adjustments or other overheating issues???
Reason I'm asking is I have a chainsaw engine that seized during operation and when it rested for few hours it freed up and suspect lean running due to carb adjustment. (oil mix and all else was ok)
Saw was being operated into max bar cuts and heavy loads on the engine and engine running real good until the engine seized in a cut. Piston and cylinder still look ok and compression checks same as before seizure. (I had tested the compression few weeks before when testing a new Actron gauge is why I know it's still the same compression)
Saw is now running strong as before and I want to monitor it's block temp with the infrared thermometer when retesting
in a heavy load cut to watch for overheating condition again and adjust the H jet to reduce heat if possible.
The saw is a Stihl 028AV!
