West German 024 Super-With Build Pics

[huskihl]

We need to try a 106 or 107° exhaust with this setup. That will add torque at that 11-12k range. A saw that revs to 17k but falls to 10k in a long cut isn't worthless, but nearing it. I'm after one that revs to 15k and only loses 2k in the cut.

Mine was at 104, but I went back in for more compression. I didn't degree it, but I'm guessing I'm at 105-106 now. If your coil isn't at fault, that might be the difference in our saws. I think mine turns more in the cut (using my ear tach), but yours turns higher with no load. I've got another old red lever out there I suppose I could use as a test bed.

I'm thinking of Joe's echo here. Exhaust was low by most standards, but he pulled a 32" chain with half-assed authority

Another option to try because if it doesn't work, it's reversible. Raising or lowering intake timing to accommodate a longer or shorter bar

I'm at 105.5 with 60 from the band.

My comp at 230

Hmph. I don't think I'm at 60. Probably 50. Our exhaust heights are similar. I'm at 210 psi with a used ring @ .010 gap. Idk. 108° ex with this carb I bet holds more rpm in the cut

What are the stock numbers? And where you are at now?

I have an idea, not sure how much merit it has yet.

 

[drf256]

Stock around 22

That would help setting compression and squish easier.

Al are you running 16" or 18" in these videos?

14 on mine

16" .325

 

[Backtroller]

Would a 18" 063 .325 work? Or is 16" the sweet spot?

 

[drf256]

Whatever one likes. 16" bars seem to be the sweet spot on 50cc saws.

Didn't get to look at the saw again. House chores, etc....

Hoping to get to it this week to have this lil guy running by the CT GTG.

It will be getting a different coil, a timing advance and another carb, both an OEM 044 and the stock 194.

Stay tuned.

Can't wait to run it Al!

I have a West German 024S too.

Today I hacked down a 20" poplar with the finger ported 036 to make a cant for testing. Started freehand milling it down to 8x8, you know, like we've seen those south American dudes do with an 090. Ran out of gas.... Grabbed the hotrod 026 and finished 3 sides with that. Ran out of gas...Learned a lot about fuel efficiency of smaller saws running 044 carbs and finger ports today lol. Probably didn't burn any more fuel than an 044 would have, and I only had to manage a 50cc saw through most of it though.
