What's On Your Bench In 2018 ?????

Do you cut the squish at an angle or is it perpendicular to the bore?

I cut it square with the bore. No taper at all. I like to imagine that it helps increase squish velocity to be flat like that.

Hello Robin. Good to read you my friend. Hope you're all staying warm.

Coil should be just fine.

We all love pictures.

I will when i get a meteor top end with a bit of port work and a timing advance it should make a pretty decent saw

Coil should be fine but you may have to install a longer HT wire to reach the spark plug on the 272 cylinder

Nothing exciting here Randy. Just porting one of those nasty X-Torq saws.

You know they don't take to kindly to porting.

They turn on up pretty good.

I still like the 50mm OE better though.

Its not much but this abused cs 310 followed me home. After a good cleaning and cat delete its not a bad saw.

Beautiful Don. Is that at 18" bar you run on that? I've been thinking of going to an 18" on my T4driller 2159 for more chip throwing fun.

in response to original title...

the same mess that was there in 2016, a bunch of dead cylinders, a t400 parts saw, an 044 I'm supposed to get running for a friend, buy haven't had time, whats left of a roached 064 (its very very bad) and my pile of shame from all the replaced parts on saws I've run over.

An old loggers play saw that i was hoping to get running and take back to him.
He was in his eighty's when i got the saw,he couldn't start it anymore.He was killed by his skidder last winter.
