Are you referring to Hotsaws101 or myself ... He is the big Kahuna of this operation ... I’m just the East Coast franchisee !
I really don't care who you are. It's obvious your just here to stir up crap. Get a life.

Yes that's the way it feels sometimes son. Call it absolute BS but the truth is the only one that has never been defeated is Father Time.
I'm sure the OP is just fine...ok?
Which brings me to my next point/s:
Kids! Don't do drugs...don't run with chainsaw
and please stay in school.
That's your weekly Prison Jissom.

This is actually a good question, I deleted the base gasket on a 10mm 044 since the replacement piston squish was too high, so now that I am at around 0.018, without changing the timing, the spark will occur closer to top dead center, so I should probably advance a bit? I have blindly done about 1/3 of the key in the past with decent results. The best gains I ever had was actually with a 455 rancher, turned it into a rather studly saw.

I have yet to see someone advance ignition timing, then show before and after pics of pre detonation damage on a piston.
I've over advanced saws and never witnessed anything like that.
I guess if you tell people it's dangerous to advance the ignition then fewer will build stronger saws.

Do see benefits when people are running the blue coils? I thought the blue coil had more advancement built in compared to the black coil?

What's that supposed to be? It isn't even from a chainsaw.

You sir are correct , and it isn’t even a 2banger piston !
It's a misnomer to call it timing advance. Actually, they retard timing for easier starting.

Yah , advancing the timing is not the “be all end all” that some claim ... yes some saws benefit from a small advance (261cm) while others don’t seem to like it (372xp) ... while others still like the timing slightly retarded ... it’s just one more piece of the puzzle after “flow-enhancements” have been performed ... by advancing it 5degrees (say .020 off keyway) it’s not going to make a turd into a bullet ... it’s like anything else you don’t listen to what the “so-called” experts say ; you think about it and then do it yourself ... then YOU have the knowledge eh ? you can try advancing (by grinding or filing the key) until you start losing performance ; purchase a few spare keys so you can always go back to stock ... it’s not a “one - size fits all “..... Experiment ! And then YOU will have the knowledge!
