Hey CJ, you probably love robins egg blue '57 Chevys too?

OK, so it does match their drawing. There is a smallish direct transfer port at the front, in parallel with the reed valve path from case to transfers at the back. It seems a little mechanically complicated compared to the no-moving-parts strato on other saws, but then I'm not sure what the benefits are yet.

thats why i am having such a hard time wrapping my head around everything that is going on in this little engine......whatever they wanted to accomplish i think they did it because it runs pretty darn good for a 35cc saw.

I am sure "complicated build" has to do with not comming into conflict with existing patents held by husqvarna.

Hopefully Makita Canada gets this soon.
Is the newer Makita 79cc out in the US?
They don't offer one in Canada right now except for old Dolmar 7910 stock that the distributor is clearing out.

only catch to that is if thats the case, why didnt they just follow the path they chose for the 6100? I have a feeling that part of the complexity is to get around patents but some of it is designed to achieve a goal they had because this is miles apart from what husky, stihl, or even they did on the 6100.

I didn't know you had this thread here too Nate.
Here is a pic of the inside of the cases

Is there anything else out there that the transfers start out that deep in the case?

This will sound stupid to you pros but that pic looks almost identical to a turbo we made for locomotive engines when I worked at GE.

Still studying the pics and guess what, the design still confuses me.

It is nice clean castings and machining that had lots of thought put into it.

You had a chance to put it in some wood yet?

Well done mate. Thanks

Sorry, I retired in January plus in the turbo area photos were strictly forbidden. You got caught taking pictures, you got fired. Period.

 

[Deleted member 149229]

You put those halves back together and turn it 180 degrees you have a turbo.

 

[Deleted member 149229]

But in our case the turbo was 40" tall and weighed over 1000 pounds completely assembled.
