A OEM 372 has better port timing numbers than a clone cylinder. Thus the oem will out run the clone. Match up all the port numbers, proper tuning, matched coils, and proper functioning carburetor will provide identical performance from oem or clone. Realistically, oem has quality control an...

Yup, that is a standard 268 cylinder you have there. Though, I’ve run both and have to say the 272xp cylinder has more on paper but it doesn’t feel like much more in the wood.

Old thread but another 2101W here. 2101W is clear as day on the serial tag and positively a factory stamping. I bought the saw off eBay out of British Columbia about 9 years ago. The muffler was ported down low with a punch! The saw looked like it was left in a box trailer for years when...

Building your ow in way more fun an rewarding than buying a made pipe. Two Stroke Performance Tuning has a entire chapter on pipes and how to construct them. Using formula calculations and excel is as much fun as building the pipe. A mig welder, a sheet of sheet metal, hammers and a few hours...

Have to say the video of the tree that nearly took you out is a excellent training video.

Not so much while tightening. It holds amazingly well after tightened and dried.

I don't measure my cutters lengths but I do visually gauge if they are similar in length. A slight variation in lengths within a left or right cutter series doesn't affect cutting of a work saw. If the left series is continuously shorter than the right by eye inspection then curved cuts will...

The tooth paste drys and becomes glue like while diatoms (grit) give extra holding ability. I didn't come up with the method on my own; I first read about it here on AS many years ago and later read about the method in a two stroke tuners book.

Rope is best. Metal stops have been known to poke holes through piston tops.

I'd put tooth paste on the crank side, line up flywheel key, and tighten the nut. Let paste dry over night and run it in the morning. I have used this method on a number of saw's with 100% success.

Be sure to add 6" of trim. So, a 16" log is actually 16'6" and so on down the line. Given you are craning them down, obviously cut long and measure on the ground. Have yet to see anyone good enough to cut a section to length while in the tree!

If they arn't interested try Dirt Doctors in Pembroke NH. They have a log truck and make thousands of yards of mulch out of logs.

Damn auto correct. Chester Forest Products is the correct spelling.

Forget to mention they have log trucks and will pick up on site.

Google Chested Forest Products from Chested NH. They will want the logs 8',10',12',14', or 16'. They prefer longer logs. I've sold to them before and found them to be very easy to do business with.

Try a different spark plug for the hell of it. I've had plugs act up in the past.

I've yet to see a stuck upper ring with no aluminum transfer to the cylinder wall. I'd look very closely for imperfections that may come back to rear their ugly head. You have a significant decrease in compression that can be accounted for somewhere.

I would re-check the compression, pressure test the carbs pop off pressure and re-check the high/low needle settings.

It takes a bit of math to get the length correct for the proper rpm output. Any length may sound cool but won't have optimal performance unless tuned to the correct length. In my experience it is easier to build a pipe than it is to refit a pipe.
