My Drf255- ported 036 VIDEO

Al, 103/120

Just widen the intake.

I know the intake seems real long, but it works on this saw.

You might go higher on the exhaust, and higher on the transfers and get more.......but I've done a lot with those numbers and they are a good solid starting point.

Square up the floor, or leave it pyramidal?

 

[drf256]

Hey Pat,

Will this saw be more of a limber, dual purpose, or primarily a bucking saw?

 

[Mastermind]

I see you've never been inside an 084.

 

[Mastermind]

Square up the floor, or leave it pyramidal?

Square up the ends, but leave the middle down. Does that make sense?

 

[Backtroller]

It will Probably be used more for bucking but I'm sure it will be used for limbing too. It's so nice and light.

 

[drf256]

Square up the ends, but leave the middle down. Does that make sense?

Yes it does

 

[Backtroller]

Not that it really matters, but I'd be curious to see what the weight difference of the connecting rods (034 vs 036) are. I also wonder why Stihl changed the style? Money savings? Ease of manufacture?

 

[drf256]

Yours is artwork. Has to be lighter, and apparently STRONGER

 

[Tractorsaw1]

Looks beefier than the 084 toothpicks

 

[Jughead]

what is the deal on that rod?thats interesting.

 

[Jughead]

oops read between the lines.that is really a stock 034 connecting rod.was it an open or closed port model?

Here's the prep area until I get my bench cleaned. Table saw isn't getting much use lately anywaysView attachment 816

Your missing an e-clip for the clutch! Anyway where is the clutch?

 

[Backtroller]

E clip is under the clutch drum. Clutch is still on the saw

It had a really nice KS cylinder and piston on it. The rod was stock. As far as I know this saw was never apart until now. These are pictures of the original setup

 

[Jughead]

hmm closed port.thats wild.figured it may have been an open port.never had an open port apart.

 

[drf256]

Pat,

Your jug is done.

Gasket less was .014 squish. I took .034 from the base and .040 from the band.

Final numbers dead on at 103/120/82.

Final squish .0205 with .023 solder

Pics to follow.

I like them numbers, as Randy said you should be fine without filling the intake

 

[Deets066]

Port work is nice as usual AL

 

[drf256]

Thanks Deets.

it needs a XP sticker to increase performance also.
