correct. Put thin layer on case and cylinder and bolt it on. None of my Countervibes saws has a gasket.

Well guess I'll go back and change a few saws as I change all the fuel lines to the echo line that I bought from amazon, so tired of lines getting hard. Thanks for all your help that you offer, I need all I can get
Why do you guys run gasket delete? Just trying to get the highest compression possible? Or is it just a mod thing? Can someone post true examples of readings or performances that show viable differences on performance for work involved? Personally if I want more cc I just grab a bigger saw,

It is to bump up the compression. Depending on the saw you could get any where from 5 to 10 psi.
For me, I delete the base gasket and then drop the cylinder even more by shaving the bottom down some and then I can get another 25 psi on the compression.
The compression does not increase the CC but it does increase the torque. It will have more grunt in the cut.

Decided to pipe a micro xxv instead of the 2.0 craftsman . Im doing a 304 stainless manifold so I can polish it . Compared to other brand 2.0 saws the Poulans have a huge exhaust port , it's even tapered out . Anybody know a saw with same carb mount larger cc ? I need more fuel and want the needles . Here is a mini mac 25 I am also doing to compare brands.
That is so cool
I cut 90% of my wood in the good old days with my 3400 it's still a great saw and with the new rings it's back strong. Last time I used wood for heat was 1993, now it's just fire pit

I burn for heat but still run out of things to cut. I cut noodles for fun. I think its a great way to set a saw .

I hope it's loud, probly is . I didnt start it yet . It is adjusted away but this is plan "B" . Fits right on the end of the pipe to try and can be welded in .
I haven't run a NOS pump or diaphragm. I've only serviced them and punched out new diaphragms. In my experience, they oil very well with a fresh diaphragm. I think some of the historical criticism directed upon them was simply due to stiff/worn out diaphragms. They will make a 20" bar sling a line of oil just fine. And, they don't idle away $'s of bar oil like many of the others of the era.

And as you know Hoggwood , those noodles dry light up like charcole lighter .

Can a micro run - base gasket ?
I have been noodling up some elm. I hate splitting it.
Roger,
What are those features mid picture as far as you can see?
I don't like splitting elm either although I've split far worse stuff.

Agree even with a splitter elm is so fibrous that it’s a pain. Luckily or not, in Vermont ,Dutch elm disease has killed most. I do love their canopy however.
