[QUOTE="Eddy_t, post: 5368224, member: 115543"] Yes, without the wind-vane they will go up to 11krpm, but at this point, they eat bearings up at an alarming rate! Due to the repairabilty design of the 1106 series of saws, this is likely to mean new bearings, seals, crankshaft, piston and cylinder every 20 hours. The majority of participants on this thread are collectors and do not run hot-saws, the exception to this is macbob, but he builds the chinker copies for racing, whilst keeping his original for show. Over here (in the UK) they're generally used for running Alaskan mills, so speed is less essential, but that can be achieved with rim sprockets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
