Chainsaw builds? Huh?
Who wastes time on that sort of stuff?
I'd rather be swimming or something.....
When I get to it I've got a 262 I want to experiment with and a 288 to build. Then convert a 350 to a 346...

If you guys want a thread, I'll do one.
Figured you guys must be bored with me and the same damn model.
Why not go to 60mm where there's a ton of piston options?Building a 395 to help a mate out at present. Gutted muffler,intake and exhaust widened. May delete base gasket, haven't checked squish yet.
Otherwise still planning dolmar 166 overbore project. Have acquired a 395 big bore 58mm piston from hyway. Quite happy with the quality, but have a few things to way up if I use this or have a custom piston made.
Smaller gudgeon pin than the stock, so probably bush the crank and use roller bearing from 395.
No rings other than hyway or other am units that will fit. So probably machine out piston to take a 075 rings and relocate pins to stock dolmar position.
Finally piston window is way smaller than the 166 pistons..

That could be a slight problem. Lee has one bored to 60mm.Because it is a milling saw, and I am abit worried about having enough meat in the jug to disapate enough heat. 2nd increased reduction in volume of transfers.. :/
Probly keep you's in the dark till I see if it works.
Victa 160cc power stroke mower to hot saw conversion.....
Still a long way to go yet but, i think you'll agree it has potential and uniquness in spades!
62mm piston x 54mm stroke.
Only potential problem is cast iron cylinder. Will need to let her warm up real well before peging the throttle.
