So I returned from vacation to find my Chinese plastics and handle. While I have this saw apart I figured I’d do some upgrades to it.
First thing I’m gonna do is clean it good and check the compression. What’s the compression range I want? If I remember 150 is good. What’s the best process for getting a good reading?
For sure I’m gonna mod the muffler. I’m thinking drill a second exhaust hole beside the first (same size if there’s room to use the spark arrestor) and put a small piece of tube around them like a exhaust pipe to keep debris and rain out. Point it foreword Remove any baffles inside.
If the compression is still good is there anything else minor to do to the engine? If it fails compression the sky is the limit I guess?
I need some new felling dogs. I have a tooth broken off. I’d like a dual set that’s a little more aggressive than stock. Any suggestions?
Anyone ever do any painting on a saw?
