What's on your bench?

I stopped bothering with compression testers. The cheap ones anyway... waste of time. I know when a saw feels “right” and has good compression... and verify it looking through exhaust/intake port...that tells you more than a compression tester will.

I'm with Mason here. Had a compression tester, and I knew the results were wrong, then it just plain failed.

I go by feel, and I know when it is there!

Good way to bend or break a crank, ask how i know

Exactly why I would never do it

The saw feels like the compression is excellent. I’ll just finish putting it together and see how it runs. I think my compression tester isn’t too reliable anyway. I almost never get the same two numbers on a saw. I have better ones but they are 60 miles away.

Then I would run it for sure if it feels good

Have you ran it with just one of those ports? One of those holes is the same size a my 250r with a 350 kit exhaust!

Yes, much stronger with 2

Pussy..

Pussy..

Pics?

Making more progress on the 064. I checked the compression for the heck of it and it’s only 110 psi. I hope it is because it’s not broken in yet.

Wasn't there an issue where you could put a 460 piston in as it's the same diameter but wrong crown heights?

Went dumpster diving and found these two saws in need of attention. Had a few parts left over, not sure where they go.

I should use the HDA 120 and throw HDA87 out, right? Forgot, 3 shoe clutches on both.

You suck!

I’m pretty sure that is not the issue but I can check and see.

I most certainly have been diving in the wrong dumpsters!! Nice find!!

You suck!

Thanks!

Today was a good day....... Picked up more side work, spoke with a logger about being his “maint tech” as Cooper’s is going out of business, possibly sold 2 saws. Possibly because I he committed but didn’t have cash on him (I won’t take a check, even from a business).

As the great @Jon1212 says In God we trust, all others pay cash.

It’s crazy how an under 10hp saw(probably but not sure) need more exhaust opening than a 55hp 350cc two stroke tuned pipe motor, in fairness the exhaust port is at the pipe it 2” and the expansion chamber can deal with a lot of peak pressure....still have a lot to learn!! The other thing “pipe guys” have always said is the smaller choke point helps with high rpm but creates more heat

 

[JohnnyBlade]

What might this doodad be? It's like a sleeve that goes in the exhaust port. Is this needed or did I just find out a way to unleash some horse power on the Husky 36?
