hey guys..
i've 'acquired' my buddy's Tanaka 650 (Said it was his favorite wood saw...liked it MUCH better than the Husky 455 and 55 rancher he has now...)
anyway, the reason it was 'parked' was a hole in the piston...
I have yet to measure quench, etc...but was thinking of welding a piece of sheet on the top of the piston, and making a pop-up for a bit more compression...
Just thinking outloud...I have ported 4 cycle engines, as well as some minor work to 2 stroke bikes/4 wheelers... so looking for some
THOUGHTS??
also, while it's apart, I think a little port work is in order... (atleast a cleanup...)
if 'fixing' the old piston isn't feasible, there's a piston & cyl avail for round 50 bux...
your insight is greatly appreciated.
