I just noticed this. If you look at the back top right hand corner above my knot of wires you will see a circle with a rim. I think that is to wrap the extra wire around to neated it up. My fingers are way to stiff to pull it off. But it is slanted so the wire could cling to it. Kinda cool

Hey guys, in the process of building a 440 kit now. I am impressed with fit and finish I think it might even be better then the 660 I did a year ago. Anyways, with no base gasget the squish was 65 thousands. I sent it off to have 60 thousands removed so I should end up with 23 to 25 thousand with a gasket. I hope that does not mess up the timing too bad. I have a set if 50mm caber rings to put in an all FT top end. Has anyone any experience doing this. I remember reading at some point the cabers are too hard for the hutzel jug and will wear it prematurely. Any compression gains to be had going with cabers?
 
I missed your posts. This place has changed and well. ..

Just a thoughtful question if you know the ft jugs are not right for cabers why use them. Period. That being a rhetorical question.

It was my experience there there's absolutely nothing wrong with the bottom part. The vibration I experienced was hard for me to figure out everybody can have an opinion but I spent a lot of time with these and I was not satisfied.

In fact I did a video on this. I came back around after I'd used the saw for a year or something, Right after upgrading my 660 to meteor jug and I put a meteor on the 440 and it had no further vibration it was perfect. In fact if you look at the 660 videos where I compared it the 660 that I built to the blue 660 that they sell I've got them running side by side the 660 that I built has the meteor but of course the blue one has the farmertec. It's a dancing all over the place so it's just the way they machine them they could be a lot better.

And I love my 440. The balance, weight power besides I mean it's awesome saw. I've often wondered why they weren't more popular than the kits. I think it's good looking too.

Oh and by the way as rough as it ran the old ft cylinder was still useable and rings were in good shape. I doubt you could delete the gasket on a meteor.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I would be really pleased if I could solve this nasty low speed vibration with a metior top end rather than replacing the crank... that's somthing iv never done. I suppose I'll give a new metior jug and piston a try. Thanks again, Joe
