I don't know, it got pretty hot just from a few piss revs. So I figured it had to helpSwiss cheese custom? To be honest; that actually looks pretty good. Does it help cool any?

Dial it back to 16,500....Good compression and 16,800 rpm make heat
It probably makes the cooling worse. Plastic directs the air around cylinder. But I doubt it matters for 3 cuts racing in a cant...Swiss cheese custom? To be honest; that actually looks pretty good. Does it help cool any?
Calling @drf256026 gurus, please gather around......
As previously stated (and pictured) I recently inherited the 026 my father bought new in 1992. I plan on keeping this as my go-to saw and want to do a port job and some power and reliability upgrades. I have been searching and reading every thread and post I can find as to what works and what doesn’t. I don’t have access to a lathe anymore :-( so all of the work will be done by hand with a Dremel. I want it to keep it 100% stock appearing.
Ok, meat and potatos: stock jug and piston look perfect, has 194 fully adjustable carb and the original wire mesh air filter. My tentative plans are to do a relatively aggressive porting job and BGD with a meteor piston and cabers. I will use the old piston to “sand” the squish to an acceptable level; .012-.016 is goal there. The coil is where I have the biggest question. I know fast majority of aftermarket coils are pure junk, but have read the Ducati ‘blue’ coils are the tits on these saws. I have found 3 different Ducati coils for the 026/260 platform. Does anyone have a specific part number for the correct coil?
