Maybe, but all the pro saws are very close and I for one cant hear that fricken 361.

Huh, I get a very distinct "pop" or even a "pop,pop", that tells me to get off the choke. Another 3 pulls and it is running.

Its more my habits. Once I start pulling I am ready and ear protection on one ear and half on the other. I am sure I would change a little if I ran one all the time.

My understanding of the whole cold and warm settings is that it should limit the amount of denser cold air that's going into the carb. Otherwise your whole air/fuel ratio will get out of whack and cause you to run rich in the winter or lean in the summer. If ya got an old saw you need to tune it every season.

Danno - your probably closer to the real purpose of this thing. I just remember it had to do with the ambient temp being cold or hot and the carb.

460 has a bigger pop, but yes.
