What projects are on your bench?

Steve I know the 375K cylinder saw I had it was cut to be run with oem base gasket. If ran without gasket and just sealer?

 

.009 with a gasket. it hit without a gasket

 

Did yours have to run side cut plug or a shorty?

 

That pretty accurately describes my shop

 

not sure what you mean, exactly.

 

What kind of plug? Stock?

 

It was a stock plug, or stock length plug. I tried running one step colder but that didn't help. the problem was on the squish, not the chamber.

 

Thats all I was looking for. I couldnt run stock plugs.

I wasnt talking about the squish etc. Just asking about the dang spark plug.

 

I'm curious now. wonder how much the base was cut, and how much maerial was left on the piston after it was chopped down... or do you know what piston was in it? had someone cut the squish band it would have been an awesome work saw. I was uneasy cutting the replacement piston as there wasn't much meat left above the ring. think it ended up at 18 0r 19.

 

To long ago dont remember sorry . I dont wright stuff down in a black book for future reference of others work like some we know.

 

HAHAHA, if I had a black book, it was somewhere on AS and wasn't very secret.

 

I had a 372 with a 38mag piston in it before the wiseco 52mm pistons were made up and ordered by EHP.

I called it 376. I didnt have the stroked crank in it to go 81cc like the other one built.

 

hmmm, see I haven't been around and didn't know anything about a wiesco 372 piston. I played around with all kinds of pistons in 372. 268 windowed piston, 038 mag piston and I have remnants of another one I started and need finished when I put all the saw stuff on hold. I haven't been around in a number of years. just starting to get some time at home and playing with projects. no race saws, no GTG kings, just fun stuff cutting wood. I'm looking at getting back into the tree service and getting away from my current job that doesn't allow me to have a life. I'd still like to finish my 385 topend on a 372 at some point too. I don't know if the 72 has the bottom end though..

i'm not even sure what piston is in my 372 right now. I had a 268xp piston cut down and was playing with different port timings with the piston ported pistons as they like different things and a normal closed piston. but I found a box of 372 experiments the other day. thought i had that piston in the one I use, but now I'm not sure as there was three windowed pistons in the box of jugs.

 

One of the Canadian guys did the 385 on a 372. The upper rod was the problem. It has to be bored out or run bushings for the 372 wrist pin.

 

any links? there were other major clearance issues as well with the jug.

yeah, that's why I stopped the project about 2009-2010... I didn't have access to a lathe and didn't have the mini mill I have now.

 

Is this where the coil's supposed to be?
Pay no attention to that big chunk missing from the case...

 

Joey,
I had good luck with that mod, seemed like it was enough. I did one by knocking the ridge off the lowers. lowered the intake 4 degrees left the uppers and exhaust alone. saw ran very well for how little I did to it.

I've been using lock washers on the muffler bolts with good luck so far. couple different saws.

how did you find the airleak on the transfer cover?

 

Spraying carb cleaner would probably find that leak?
