Thanks, I have had larger 220cc bike motor kiss at .029 and 500cc kiss at .045, so I get a little gun shy on these, when get that tightI personally shoot for 18-20 on any of my saws.
But if one came in at 15-16, I wouldn’t bother changing it.
Really? You absolutely sure you measured correctly?Thanks, I have had larger 220cc bike motor kiss at .029 and 500cc kiss at .045, so I get a little gun shy on these, when get that tight
.018 is plenty, that’s what my 066 was stock.
I do know of numerous 120cc work saws built with .015 and never an issue.
stihl ultra is not your friend

Yes. I use super soft solder at the wrist pin edges roller the motor over several times to make sure it is accurate. Your 700 was three 233cc, my 440 twin 0r 220 cc a hole, I kept tighten the squish on that motor in testing, at .029 it left light rings on the outer edge of the piston and dome of the head, so I keep it in the low .030’s now, same thing on the cr500, at .045 it lightly kissed so I keep them at .050 now.Really? You absolutely sure you measured correctly?
I knocked my ported 700 down to .040 and no issues for years
Yes I agree, I haven’t tested the limits of saw, probably won’t, but it is good to know guys aren’t having issues at .015-.017, I will feel more confident setting stuff up at .017Bigger the piston the bigger the squish clearance necessary.

After the base gasket delete you ended up at 0.20?Kind of wish I would have went 1/4" or 5/16" wide on my muffler mod opening. Felt like I lost some torque but the timed cuts say I picked up a full second. Cutting 18-20" elm in about 11.2 seconds. 20" bar hand filed semi chisel. Wish I could upload the video.
Base gasket delete ended up .020 on the dot.
Added second port on the muffler 3/8x1"
Took .017 off the flywheel key.
