Wowza.

Bar length?
8 Pin?
Saw seems to be on the limit

That is a 32" bar semi skip square ground chain with an 8 tooth sprocket. It is as much bar as I would run with it. There is more torque to be had with that saw but I built as a "highwinder". I like it a lot with a 25" or 28" bar

How’d you make it a high winder? Just curious

 

[HYPERSAWS]

Exhaust is a little higher, transfers slanted towards the combustion chamber, shorter blowdown....................

It has also had the case and transfer tunnels epoxied and is now fed thru the piston into the cylinder walls

An early, thick-base 066 with a timing advance and no port timing changes:

Efco MT-8200 - not a bad runner, but not impressive at all in stock form. The piston in these is almost identical in dimensions to a Stihl 064 piston, but the Efco runs
1.5mm thick rings vs. the 1.2m thick rings on the Stihl slug. I think I may switch this over to a Husky 272 piston, advance the ignition, and put some better numbers
in the cylinder -

Nice. Looks kinda like a Hooskie 282/288.
Pulled pretty good.

What is this mythical 282 you speak of?

I might actually make a "282" out of this with a 288 top end. The Efco cylinder is very similar in dimensions to a 288.

The good thing about that is the carb mounts are also very similar so I could retain the Efco intake components/choke/throttle, etc.

Wouldn't that make it an 8800?

What are your rakers at?

 

[BonScott46]

I found out the spring he’s using in that 49$ kit is the one off a 661. So I bought one for 16$ and it works great.

Is the 661 spring interchangeable down to a 261? Also curious if the rear 462 spring would fit a 261...asking for a friend.

No idea but if it did that would be cool.

I'm not exactly sure what they were set at but they are low

Sounded like it.

Whats the cc of a 6400 makita?

 

[BonScott46]

You ever try a slab sided 266/8 pop up in a 372.
