Ok that's about where I'm at now. Sorry if some of the things I mention are no brainers. Just trying to show it all.

Thanks David! Keep it up. This all interests me. That slag is interesting. So did you cut the scored jug as well? Or will you play with it the way it is?

The original is not cut and won't be should be ok for 165-170 still.

Here is the neat thing about the slag. It's identical on the other side. Interesting huh?

This is a Stihl jug the other was a mahle.

That is interesting. Do you think it has a purpose?

 

[dall]

The one with slag is the one I sent you

Yes it is. Dall

I have never seen a jug with equal slag on each side. Being they are the same. It would lead you to believe it is on purpose. Seems tough to believe.

Got it back together tonight. Scrounge up a bar and chain. Hope to try to start it tomorrow.

 

[David Young]

Chain was kind of rough. Put the file to it should be ok.

We need videos David

 

[David Young]

Of course I'll bring my videographer

This is the original jug for baseline David?

That's right. I'm using it to test numbers and angles.

 

[David Young]

Idling. Need to tinker with the carb it wasn't getting fuel up top.

 

[David Young]

First one is mm squish set timing advanced meteor piston with 2 rings.

Saw 2 xmas saw
Ft piston single ring. Sq set Everything else is stock.

 

[dall]

do you have the cylinder ported yet david

 

[Deets066]

Good to see you got it together and running, looking forward to see improvements

 

[drf256]

Will you be swapping out the Huztl piston David?

Oh, and Bump...

Oh, and Bump...

When I get back to it I will choose from a used Oem or new meteor this piston is just for testing so I didn't eat a more expensive one up.

 

[drf256]

Makes sense.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice thread. Like a test rat. lol

Gotta push to the finish. I had to pause for other things needing my attention.
I knew I wanted to put a larger carb on this saw from the start. The stock carb is a 15mm Venturi walbro HD carb. The common thing to do is swap for a 290/390 044/046 carb and swap the shafts. I didn't like the way this saw was tuning so I wanted to try a good carb to make sure it was running ok.

Tillotson make change carbs for swap outs. I found a new HE-22a on eBay for 40 bucks. When I took the oem carb off I noticed the tilly had a bigger Venturi already. So I measured them both. Turns out the tilly is 17mm from the factory. I hope this is not a fluke. The h and l were both set to 1 1/4. It needed absolutely no adjustment to start and run. Pretty amazing. I tweaked it a little on the low side. I have a vid. I'll link to also.

This is in frozen "show off wood" I have bumped the timing. Opened the muffler some and of course swapped the carb. It caught the other saw as far as cut time. It's tuned at 14.7 in this vid.
