High compression can suck

elasto start handles help enormously!

I just rebuilt the top end of a Stihl 066 Magnum with a new BBK. Dang thing must be pushing 170 psi. I can't even pull it out further than 16" when starting, but it fires and runs anyway, laughing at it's "emaciated" operator. Glad it's my friend's saw and not mine. He wanted power and he's got it now. Gasp!

I'm glad my 277 has decomp.. it seems to bind up the handle as it is with 180PSI cold.. when it's hot it seems to be OK though. Going to work on a couple 2100's and a 394 and bump the compression up a little on them, new rings, and what not.. those are always fun
