I'm thinking of doing my first saw mods on my 357xp. The saw is bone stock and fairly low hours I believe. I have already rebuilt the carb with the proper gaskets and it runs good now ( had issues with idling and bogging down). I still need to upgrade the intake clamp which I have.
So my question is, if I'm pulling the cylinder up a little bit to aid in the new clamp install, should I pull it completely and do a base gasket delete???? I figured this would be the best time to do it. I'm asking because I don't wanna just do it and not really gain anything.
- Does the 357 perform better with a gasket delete?
- Would I be better off leaving it alone and just doing a muff mod?
- Can a delete take away from the port timing? Or throw off the timing?
- Or should I check the squish first then make my decision?
I do plan on a MM as well.
Sorry for the long post but I like to be thorough on things.
It would be nice to here from some builders or anyone that has done this...
