Well success at last !
Thanks to Cut4fun, Al Smith and Woodworkingboy for there guidence in my first Woods Modded 038 super !
I fired up the BEAST this morning and I have to say I'm HOOKED.
Put it together,took it out, pulled & pulled....nothing ?
Pulled off the air filter,dribbled in a bit of gas.....pulled.....POP... POP...POP...away she went !!
I set the carb 1 3/8 open H&L and it seemed ok. I didn't run it a long time,maybe 10 minutes didn't get it in the wood yet (still need to find a muffler cover for it,it was missing when I got the saw).
Here are my #'s : machined .004 from bottom of cyl.
got squish to .021" with no gasket.
Widened exhaust by 1.75mm/side to total width of 30mm staying ~2mm from each side of piston window.This was as close as I dared go to the sides giving me 60% of the bore dia.
Bevelled out NICE AND WIDE to the muffler then high polish.
Intake was widened to within 2mm of window as well,again NICE WIDE BEVELout to the boot.Polish up to 400 grit.
No compression #'s (borrowed guage not working!),but I'll try to get some.
New fuel p/u line and impulse line.
This came to me as a "saw in a box" so I have no base line to compare to.
Now I'm staring at a magnum P&C on my bench with bad intentions![Shifty :/: :/:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/vbulletin/aaf_shifty.gif)
Any pointers on getting this puppy broken in chime in please.
Thanks again,
Steve
