I told my better half they multiply at night when she notices a new one. And the new 261 cm is actually for her.... nice chisel!

I thought you used a wood rasp and a paring knife to port stuff. Who you tryin' to fool with that precision hammer and chisel nonsense? Obviously a staged photo...

See how the area I cut is on the right side? That will make the flywheel rotate counter-clockwise further than it was from the factory. I've find that by taking .020 from the key that I get around 6° advance.

Now here I'm holding the flywheel against the rope I'm using as a stop, then I tighten the flywheel nut as tight as I can while holding it like this.

I comprende now. I was thinking that's the way you did it by just taking off the material above the slot in the crank. But I wasn't sure. Thank you.

EDIT: I quoted Randy on the top part of this post.

I'm glad you showed up Mr Snelling.

I figure you can fire up the donation thread whenever you want to now. Looks like the site is stable.....and I need this saw gone.

It's making me want one.

Now to set up for the squish mod.....

I get a lot of questions about how this is done, so I'll spend some time here.

In this pics is a few of the plates I've made to mount various cylinder on.



This is the one that the 461 jug uses. The hole and divot are there to allow the stud and shroud boss to have clearance.



This is all there is to mounting the jug to the plate......simple really.



Then the plate is mounted in an independently adjustable four jaw chuck, on the lathe. That allows me to center the bore with the spindle.

Another view of the jug mounted.



Here I'm setup with a long reach indicator to check runout.



I made a couple of videos with more detail on the centering process.........if I post them y'all won't make fun of the way I talk will you?

Are the gilardoni jugs as high quality as mahle?

 

[Mastermind]

I think they are as good if not better.

Not not at all... carry on!
I would pay money to be able to spend some time with a saw builder like yourself to learn the basic 'how to's' of a woods port! If only I lived closer to some of you guys!!!
I have read a lot, but im a very visual learner!

I make pencil marks on the bed to go back to when I move the carriage. Anything to make it easier.....





Here's a shot of indicating the bottom of the jug....



And how that is adjusted.

I've had lots of guys ask about coming over and watching me work.......I'm not that guy. When people show up, the work stops. I hate being watched.
