Hey. all,
Just bought my first chainsaw kit, Farmertec for a 361. Parts just arrived and need to do inventory.
Looking at cylinder and piston, I saw there's a raised kind of "maker's mark" or logo or something at the top of the combustion chamber (see photo).
Does this matter? At first I thought it might cause turbulence or disturbance of the flame front, but now that I think about it, there's other stuff that will affect flow, like the spark plug and the cutout for the compression release, so maybe it doesn't matter.
Then I thought about removing it on a lathe or with a cutter / burr, but wouldn't that increase the volume of the combustion chamber, and if so would that matter?
I'm new at this, so sorry if these are basic questions and it's not worth worrying about. Thanks for any help.
Jeff
