    Both saws were tuned to 14000rpm for each fuel. Each held about 10800rpm avg. In the cut and as far as I can tell averaged about 16.5 to 17 sec. In the cut for both octanes. Theses cants r oak and very dry and hard!!

    Dexter I'm working on the 362 videos in the same cants. They will upload in awhile. The 362 blowed through the cants with about a 9sec. Avg. Instead of 17 like the 026!!! Lol

    I think the 94 was faster than the 87 on the 362

    Nice. My 026 project had that exact same compression. Impressive little buggers, aren't they?

    I wish you didn't tell me which was which on the octane vids! Never knew of 94, I only see 93 here.

    Dumb question, but how important is the ground connection on the tach? I ask because I got the same reading open and grounded.

    362c Masterminded with 87 vs 94 both mixed with Belray @ 32:1. Saw was cutting around 11000rpm in the cut and times average for 87 was 10.5 and 94 was 9.5

    Alil update on the 026. Bought a new oem cylinder and ported alil differently on the 026. The chain is too aggressive at 35° and .040 on rakers. 3/8 picco would be much better or .325 20140826_133858.jpg
