One ring vs two

[Deets066]

It would be interesting to hook up a EGT thermocouple and use that with the tach.

I planned on doin this when I build my pipe saw

I like all chainsaws. In a pro saw, not a bad one out there. My question is, how come huskies (single ring), are always rev happy little hot rods? And stihls' (two ring), are just happy little work rods if you will?

A husky in general has a shorter stroke than a stihl which makes them snappy.

All of the huskys I have are 2 rings

It may look/ be gay, but you could easily mount a temp. probe and a ex. temp guage on a saw.

I really ain't concerned with oil residue, I figured if there was a drastic increase in temp from one to the other that might explain why the 661 had the change.

My saws rarely idle they are mainly used to test things and always get the hell beat out of them and there always covered in oil when I tear one down and there apart all the time.

wearin em out takin em apart?

 

[jmssaws]

Probe. You said probe

 

[petedaycab]

See ,I learned something new. I thought 1/ring was the norm for husky. 550, 562, 372 all single rings? They seem to be factory hot rods.

I believe you based on your previous video lol.

I only build 066's so I have plenty of time to try all kinds of dumb stuff. Once in awhile it works but once In awhile it dont.

I have an EGT Avenger 2 racepak sittin on the shelf just waitin for my flattop 066. It will read rpm and EGT.

You'll be busy watching all that crap and cut your damn leg off.

I got a 33.2346% gain over stock with one ring on an 026.

Well, at least he will know rpm, and temp going through his leg

I have a project on my bench now that may need the ring pin moved.

I'm ascared.

I remember reading in one of the references, I think jennings but it has been a long time.

rings are only useful below 8000 rpm. I had an 036 I f'd up porting and the ring broke through the top of the piston. when it did it the saw stalled I could get it to run by locking it on fast idle. it would rev out but not idle. when I saw the piston I couldn't believe it would run like that.

I know it wasn't one of my prouder moments but really showed me something.

So the ring was still in place, but busted out the top part of the piston above the ring groove?

It gets worse.....much worse

It was some of the worst carnage I have ever contributed to.
i'll see if its still around.

most likely it is ima rediculous pack rat.
