Locust Cutter
Air Force Redneck
Subbed! I may have to do this to my 550 MKI when funds allow, and then send it to AWOL or Kevin for a breathing treatment!
Anyone interested in a YouTube video of my 550 running the 562 carb?
It pulls strong just loads up at idle.
May need a timing jump or just a port job...
Also did a video of my ported 550 with stock carb. Same bar and chain.
I had a little time today so I pulled the flywheel so I could advance the timing. One third of the key to start. I did get the data from the saw. Not enough time on it since the 562 carb install. I need to cut a load of firewood with it.
I'll port it when I finish cutting a unit...
If you widen the stratos to much you might end up with air leak issues.
Another thing that needs to be done is to trim about half the rubber carb av.
Its pretty tight with the wider 562 inlet/ filter holder.
Just remember Flip gets the credit here I just ran with his ideas. He must be busier than me.
Within the next couple of weeks I'll port this the same way I did my other 550. If I had a 545/550 with bad mains it would be interesting to try a build without stuffers.
