Any progress on this project?Hi all,
3 questions:
1. What’s the best way to lower the squish in this saw? Do you take a bit off the jug? If you do, are you then required to also move the bearing holder up as well?
2. Can you machine these cylinders out to 40mm so 1mm of wall shaved off and throw an ms 200 piston in?
3. Is there a thread on here how to advance the saw. I’ve picked up you need to remove the key and rotate the flywheel, just chasing a bit more info.
Cheers

I was just looking at HLSupply and they have got an aftermarket ms180 cylinder and piston for 12 bucks. May be worth getting a couple for experimental purpose.No one makes a kit that I know of. It could be done but you would need to nikasil your cylinder and that’s a lot of mucking around. Making the piston would be the easy part.
I have been looking at lowing the jug but you need to take the same amount of material out of the bearing and seal journals. I bought a couple of these for the job but as yet have not had a chance to use them. View attachment 916928
