Inside the "Triple Nickel"

[Andyshine77]

They look to have a better shape...more hook. I personally think that transfer shape has lots to do with performance.

Anytime a fluid is flowing through a vessel and you add volume (think cross sectional area) to the vessel, you decrease pressure. Velocity follows suit. You then need to increase the pressure to increase velocity. This tells me 2 things...the upper transfers time area will have a bigger impact on velocity with the larger covers. This may be why the 562 crank is stuffed.

My thoughts exactly..

And........that was before I really had the 346 figured out. That day all I gave a damn about was winning the 066 build off.

How big a pop up was in that 66?

If I remember correctly, Randy won that build-off with an aftermarket piston and cylinder.

 

[sunfish]

So, AM cylinder and a giant pop- up is the way to go?

Yup.

Some moron from Ky gave it to him. :-/

[komatsuvarna]

Lol. Probably.


But you know why?

There wasn't any cut chamber saws there that day. Hahahaha

I seem to remember a real strong popped up 346 that lives in New Castle .

Now your cooking with Crisco!!

 

[sunfish]

I have a real strong pop up 346 & a real strong flat top 346. But no AM cylinders.

 

[Mastermind]

That saw didn't have a popup silly.

The 066/660 will never be a serious runner built that way.

Oh yeah........it was an old Chinky AM jug.

 

[Husqavarna Guy]

OK.......

Back to the 555.

I think the transfer covers are gonna make a big difference.

Oh........and Andre. I know I'll lose in the peeing contest. At my age I'm just happy when I miss my feet.

Randy do you think the transfer covers would make a difference on a stock saw or just the ported one? Also what is the part # on those you sent Brad? Thanks

 

[Mastermind]

I think they would make a big difference on a stock saws as well.

They are not sold separate from the jug though.

 

[Jacob J.]

Yup.

There's morons all over. I represent the moron contingent from Oregon.

Three years ago or so I gave away a NOS Homelite 8800 cylinder thinking I would never have a use for it.
I just recently had to buy one, which luckily a member here had a good used one.

I have one of those in O Scale brass. Hope to make a Pere Marquette out of it some day!

 

[SawTroll]

Then let's start with the M-Tronic system. It's less trouble prone.



......

That's odd, as it is the AT!

 

[Mastermind]

That is complete bull **** Niko. I do wish you would stop telling the world that bit of rubbish.

 

[Mastermind]

From January......

Sawtroll was the one that kept saying his understanding was that STIHL bought AT tech, but also said he doesn't have any documentation to prove it. He would say this everytime, so eventually people are gonna take that and spread it all over the internet as fact. That's how rumors get started, especially when the source is an from intellect like Nikko. It's dangerous being smart and making statements w/o facts. People tend to trust that information because they figure the source is good.

Bingo. I think the larger transfer covers and crank stuffers work hand in hand. The 562XP covers did help improve performance, but I think the stuffers will make a noticeable difference as well when I swap this topend onto the 2260 next week.
