What size solder have
you been using.
I've got plumbers lol
Good enough and fair enough then, will set all pistons to that height of the 372 one sent.
If you want to measure squish in some saws I can custom cut if you want to, to the tolerance of your choosing.

I ran @old guy 372 with the 268 piston and a gasket delete, that he made, and it ran mighty fine. Was really solid through the wood. I liked that saw a lot, be hard to find a much better work saw.

Actually the gasket is still in there or you would have to take another gasket thickness off the piston.
This leaves the stock timing intact.

Thanks for the correction, could have sworn you said that, I have a hard time hearing speech some times over a running engine, so you must have said something else and I interpreted it wrong. :(

@Czed Dave, your package was on the counter when I got home, liked the stuffing you put in there. :)
First Tecomec crankshaft from HL Supply was as well, and it looks really, really good.
@Jon1212 Nothing to report. :(
Damn! I'm concerned ol' FedEx may have screwed the pooch.

Have several different sizes and the softer(more lead) ones are betterer. If you can't roll it over it's too big. And when it does roll over it, go back and forth like ten times or so to make sure it gets to size.

Yeah, I know all about the hearing thing, in the early days I ran the those old Macs with no hearing protection and now I pay for it.
Remember what I said about 45 degreeing the corner of the popup, I didn't get as much comp as I should have and I think that is why, the next one I do I will just round the corner a bit & try that.

I've been wanting to try the 268 piston. What diameter do you turn the pop up?
