Damn...would a fella even need more compression than a base gasket delete yields? I know you build some higher, guessing it’s just one of those saws that loves big compression numbers.

Especially considering the lack of a compression release...

This is where someone will say hike up our panties or put our purses down and pull. Lol

Oh it's not me or my panties that have a problem with it... it's the beating the starter components are subject to.. Scarr 394, remember???.... I rest my case.

It's still sitting in your barn if you need to give 'er a tug to refresh your memory LOL!

I think it said it all.

The 281xp I had would push 185 psi stock with a gasket. Liked to stifle your arm especially when cold starting the first pull or two, was its favorite trick.

I just built one that I took 0.030 off the band and set the squish at 20 the dang thing is a hand full I haven't even tryed to church the comp on it.

At what point do we have to start being concerned about 91 octane not being enough????

With what folks say is already a pretty small chamber compared to most saws and stout compression numbers at .030 squish, you made the chamber even smaller and cut squish down to .020..that's gotta be a bear!

This one has 235.

I hadn't ran one that 93 wasn't enough. My 395 and 288 are blowing 200+

 

[wcorey]

I've yet to hear of anything where 87 isn't enough...

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Just curious is all. I know raw compression number isn't the end-all be-all of indicators in that... My 394 pulls 210

Nice Work as always Mike.

Looks like it’s got some good lugging power. But I thought you don’t like 288’s?

I sold it. That's it's owner running it. I sold 8 or so of them.

I think I can handle it, can't wait to try it!
