Hello folks,

I heard a rumour that running a saw without a bar and chain is bad for the engine, is this true or false?

Also, with regards to storing a chainsaw, my McCulloch owner's manual suggests to fill the combustion chamber with oil and then pull the starter rope several times to disperse the oil. Is using 4-stroke (synthetic) SAE 30 oil recommended or should I only use 2-stroke engine oil?

When removing from storage, how do I flush/clean the engine? Using gasoline or ??

Many thanks.
