@Spike60 would you happen to have some trigger parts, clamps, etc. around?
YepThere's a hump in the exhaust floor that coincides with the shiny spot in the ring. Needs to be an arc shape. The ring is catching on it and is gonna hang soon. I'm with Marshy and Jim on this one
Got everything. Including the OEM top ends when you get fed up with that thing. Caber ring might not get along too well with the plating on cheap AM cylinders.
Another thing to look for with these saws and the 346's while we're at it regarding not getting full throttle: Check to make sure the rear mount, above the gas cap, isn't loose or distorted/stretched. If it is, it changes all the geometry and you've can't get full travel on the throttle link. Gotta pull the outside screw and then check to see that the inside screw is snug.
Hey, hey...as a learning exercise, see how much compression comes up...before I learned from these fine gents how bad the ports are.
I posted that picYou also realize that the throttle linkage is bad, correct? It was mentioned before you posted the pic, but not since. The rod isn't supposed to stick through the plastic on both ends.
Oh. Oops lolI posted that pic
