Thanks Lakeside and PES +
This is my first talk or whatever you call it on this wonderful site. I am not much for chatter online since I have to hunt a peck with the keyboard but I have spent numerous hours extracted awesome information from the likes of Lakeside, PES+ and many others, thank you guys. This post got me going to punch on some keys. I completed my first cylinder work on a stihl 026 with PES+ approach before I even knew you had a post one the subject and titled 026 project. I ending up with 155 pounds compression and still held after many running session, since I found out the fuel line was culprit which caused the saw to run lean for previous owner. Aluminum all over the place on exhaust side, sanded it down very cautiously and after coming back third time and a total of 3 hours, most looking and pondering if I was was a goof or not attempting it. Seems with that kind of compression I most likely ended up with no low spots from sanding, might I be correct ? About 20 minutes operating so far and compresssion holds at 155. I have completed 18 saw project and 6 tabled for later due to things I dont want to get into until next winter. A couple of those are cylinder jobs, but I couldnt help tackling this one. It was dead what did I have to lose. Plus I love operating outside the box on some things.
