Does anyone who has been on these know what squish typically is without a base gasket?

The squish with stock gasket that measures .019" with the Meteor piston and Mahle cylinder is .035". Your set up could be different, best if you check it yourself. Might as well learn to do it now if you are going to be working on more saws.

I have checked it on the few other saws I have had the jugs off, but with the toasted bearings, squish on this was "lots"!

Somebody put a bug in my ear about doing a little something with this and needed a rough number to start with.

Limiter tabs. Those are for hippies.

Carb is currently hanging out in my small ultrasonic I use for cleaning my reloading brass.

New fuel line and filter installed. Parts cleaned up.

Heres what was left of the pto side bearing..

Unfortunately the crank was no good. Bearing felt rough and gritty. Jug survived however.

I should have some time tomorrow evening to get some more done.

I was advised by a friend to find a way to get the airbox to breathe a bit better.
I started with this.

Had something like this for an idea.

Hogged some holes.

And because this is 'Merica, why stop there. Lets hog this out too.

And now I have something like this.

Just use a metal mesh filter. Much better air flow.

Lol. Good. I did same as you. Cut out bigger area behind the screen.
Drill a couple holes in the cover and use frogskinz.

That thought of Frogskinz was there. I will go with the stealth ninja approach for now and see how if fares.

Hey man, where would a man find some of the frogskins?

I've seen them on some of @drf256 builds and have been curious.

Unfortunately there will be no saw shenanigans on my part this evening. Wind cranked up, started snowing, so I got asked to take my daughter to her dance class.
Then when I get home, I get to spend a few hours in the skidsteer trying to break up the 3" of ice my driveway is after both my wife and myself almost slid into my shop.
Good times.
