Carb and boot will be here in a couple days.
I think it's a blow down problem but ill wait and see after the carb is upgraded.
I'm wondering if temporarily restricting the muffler will increase or decrease power myself.

I may have missed where you tried that.

But you have a "feel" for saws through experience that many of us (I don't) have.

Do you feel that the low blowdown is making you backstuff the transfers a bit? If so, is that helping or hurting power in your opinion?

With your transfers flowing so well, I'm wondering if a bit of back stuffing is keeping them in check. Maybe that's what happened on CFB's 66.

Just some mental diarrhea from me.

I wonder if these cylinders vary timing like other Stihl cylinders?

@drf255 I've tried a stock muffler up to the cover off and it didn't change anything. The transfers are small so I don't think I'm over flowing,I'll get a video of what it does,zero rpm and it stumbles under a load, even when it won't 4stroke it still has a burble under a load. I'm gonna throw the piston and cylinder on one of my saws and see what happens.

My 066 and cfb's will flow more than the carb can take so restricting the muffler slows things down and patches the problem,this saw isn't over flowing, the transfers are small,tiny in fact and it should be working fine but it aint.
A carb and boot will tell me if it needs more bd and I'm positive it does but I don't have a box of these cylinders so I'm waiting.

I believe I only have 17 degrees of blow down and that is a problem and I don't want to raise the exhaust much so I might lower it more then raise to 99 or 98
I want 20 degrees but I'll be trading one evil for another, compression and intake duration.
Or I just raise the exhaust to 96 or 97
