Scott,

You forgot to feed the shop stove, temps dipped below your liking.

Wisconsin fall showed its true colors.

The above animation gives a nice view of how the stratos engines operate. Though a Husqvarna is shown I am certain the STIHL version operates similarly

My question to you Mr. Treemonkey (and hope you ate your wheaties this morning) based on your experience, is this: when we lower the cylinder with a base cut (take “x” amount) viewed from when the piston fires and is on its downward trajectory, aren’t we then changing the timing of the stratos cycle slightly ? In other words the piston cutout is uncovering the port later thus altering the time for the air charge to fill the cylinder and ultimately the fresh charge to come up from the crankcase and “push” the pillow of air out and then fill with mix. I would have to run calculations but it seems it wood change the timing. Most likely won’t make a lick of difference but ….. your thoughts/ experiences on this. I included the animation as trying to explain can get confusing. Thanks in advance for your input !

Of course it changes the timing if the strato cycle. The intake is moved lower and the strato cutouts in the piston stay the same.
