we’ll see, maybe he’ll want me to mess with the 550s, i told him it would take 6-8 years, and i might possibly take legal ownership of his saws in the meantime.

 

[Ketchup]

I don’t like my 550 either. Considering pulling the stuffers.

Pretty cool what gets accomplished when you finally get a turn at the cloths drier.

Great thread Cus.

This sucks. Dropping the lady off at the airport in GR Saturday morning for her industry awards trip. I'd planned on hitting the shack in Tustin after. If I gotta fight snow I'll just come back down here and fight rain.

Unless @P.M.P. gets ahold of me.

What’re your feelings on a higher exhaust and longer BD? Not saying one is better than another anything, some also say gas motors should be ported differently so that’s a factor as well.

This is a really great assembly thread you got going on here @cus_deluxe

P.s. I found you a new wifebeater

evetually this is gonna be run on alcohol. i have limited experience with quadports, and zero experience with quadport cylinder with stuffers haha. the way i see it, which could be way off, is that as desired rpms increase, theres less time for the blowdown action to occur, which should require a longer blowdown than say a firewood saw. but with the stuffers, this seems like it should be able to handle more ex and transfer duration…as for the gas vs alcohol thing, yeah, i think alcohol can handle a little more ex duration than a stictly gas saw. clear as mud? lol

 

[cus_deluxe]

my hope is to eventually have one carb for gas, one for alcohol, so at a gtg or something it can be run without worrying about flushing.

I feel at your current exhaust height and BD setting there will be some back stuffing, so it’ll be interesting to see. Even stuffed, I’ve seen then run lots of duration with great success. Looking forward to seeing it done.

yeah im not figuring that the port work is done. i know how this thing ran before when the transfers were untouched, around 30-32 degrees bd, it was extremely peaky and wouldnt hold rpm. the grinding i did shouldve gotten trans up to about 125 or so, still above 20 deg blowdown. if i were to guess, i think it should run well with a pretty short bd period. just dont wanna try to get it all at once.

@cus_deluxe it's like 75 here
