    What Bubba and I did this afternoon!

    Well, had my snow work done this morning, Bubba was sick so he and I stayed home and worked over the 346. Actually, I did it while he slept, but he will get upset if I don't include him!!!

    Much thanks to Ultra for his research, and Doc. Freak for the late night phone call and pics as well as advice

    Now for the ugly, lets hear how bad it looks!!! I never did manage to check the squish, couldn't hold everything together, and got tired of fishing out solder from the crankcase!!!!
    Here we go, before:

    good job.
    grease works good to hold the soilder on the piston.
    or you could put vaseline on your piston.

    BUT THEN.........THAT IS JUST ME!!!

    I take it you don't use a mesh screen when you make those small holes vs. one large exit.

    Personal choice, or is there no need for a mesh screen?

    I ussually go with a 3/8ths hole, but have become leary of getting crap in the cylinder. This time I went with 1/8th holes, less chance of crap. I don't cut in forestry areas, so I am not required to have a screen.

    Way to give it a go, Andy! I will be anxious to hear how it runs for you! My first attempt at porting was FUN - I learned a lot, and felt like I really gained a MUCH better understanding of the 2-stroke engine.
