Magic Marker (Professionals choice) shows the piston at BDC. Also note it is just shy of the ring popping out at the top. Looked back at what I thought was the right thing to time it and I was all off, so that's out the window. This was not done by the "numbers" was an idea from an old two stroke racing mechanic that I know, this was also done on some production outboard motors. The next time I put a degree wheel to it to get something by the numbers, I will see where these open. Most everything I'm doing here is coming straight outta my posterior end here fellas. If I were smart I'd order some more pistons as I only had two, and am already on the second one. I'm doing all these things to try and make a Hot racing saw, which is way above my pay grade. I do however like the challenge and it is fun to see what can be made to work. I know some are strange to the chainsaw world but not one thing I'm doing here has not been tried before, just in a motorcycle or a snowmobile or an outboard marine motor. The quicker I get these ideas outta my head the better off I'll be. Not trying to change the chainsaw world here, but just figured just maybe at 1000 to 1 shot I could pull off a decent rig and be competitive. Can't do that if I do what everybody else does and I surely don't want others following in my half baked footsteps. I wish I could explain things betterer and understand the "numbers" betterer and stuff, but I don't maybe I never will I don't know. Mostly I just look at where things relate to each other and work off that. Wish there was a set of directions to go with this, can't find them either. Will it go, will it blow? Heck if I know. I do know more WTF moments are to follow...
