BAD CAD
There are 2 factory gaskets available. A metal .017 gasket and a paper .034 gasket. The .034 gasket was supposedly for geographis areas with bad/low octane fuel.Thanks for all of the info, do you know why this saw has .061 squish? That seems really high. It was a saw from a fire department so did they make it easier start with a thick gasket?
Make sure you use the thinnest solder possible to check squish or your readings may be off.
I have a snapped one Phil. Next time I pull it out I’ll get some pics and post them. It snapped where the counterweight met the pin.If anyone has any info or links to threads / pics etc in regard to early 044 crank problems / failures please post them.
