I told my better half they multiply at night when she notices a new one. And the new 261 cm is actually for her.... nice chisel!
 
See how the area I cut is on the right side? That will make the flywheel rotate counter-clockwise further than it was from the factory. I've find that by taking .020 from the key that I get around 6° advance.

Now here I'm holding the flywheel against the rope I'm using as a stop, then I tighten the flywheel nut as tight as I can while holding it like this.

I comprende now. I was thinking that's the way you did it by just taking off the material above the slot in the crank. But I wasn't sure. Thank you.

EDIT: I quoted Randy on the top part of this post.
 
Now to set up for the squish mod.....

I get a lot of questions about how this is done, so I'll spend some time here.

In this pics is a few of the plates I've made to mount various cylinder on.



This is the one that the 461 jug uses. The hole and divot are there to allow the stud and shroud boss to have clearance.



This is all there is to mounting the jug to the plate......simple really.



Then the plate is mounted in an independently adjustable four jaw chuck, on the lathe. That allows me to center the bore with the spindle.

 
Not not at all... carry on!
I would pay money to be able to spend some time with a saw builder like yourself to learn the basic 'how to's' of a woods port! If only I lived closer to some of you guys!!!:(
I have read a lot, but im a very visual learner!

I've had lots of guys ask about coming over and watching me work.......I'm not that guy. When people show up, the work stops. I hate being watched.
