I'm using my three chainsaws a lot more on our property up here in Vermont than I ever did back in Florida. The ambient temperature tends to be lower here too so I usually let them idle about 2-3 minutes before I start cutting. Is that enough?
I'd say that's just fine. Are we talking really old saws or ?I'm using my three chainsaws a lot more on our property up here in Vermont than I ever did back in Florida.

No, the oldest one is from the 90s and the other two are less than 5 years old.I'd say that's just fine. Are we talking really old saws or ?
I think you're doing things right. Since they are most likely 2 stroke they're getting oil as soon as you're getting fuel. Also, If anything they'd like to be throttled up in cold weather anyways since they need more fuel then.No, the oldest one is from the 90s and the other two are less than 5 years old.
I've only looked at the oldest 025 Stihl and it looked great but I'm not sure if that's a good indicator.Do you see any scuffing on the piston when you pull it apart?
If so lengthen the warmup if not you are fine.
I have a Stilh chainsaw and leaf blower. Normally I let them warm up at least thirty seconds before lightly revving the engine for another thirty seconds. When it is really cold, meaning below freezing, I will let the chainsaw run two minutes before using it.I'm using my three chainsaws a lot more on our property up here in Vermont than I ever did back in Florida.

I put the saw to work immediately after start up. I don't feel any warm up time is necessary.I'm using my three chainsaws a lot more on our property up here in Vermont than I ever did back in Florida.
