Cool...
There's going to be a GTG here near Carthage Nov 1
Just keep checking up on this thread..

I work November 1, IIRC that is my first night back, will see how things progress I might be able to swing by Friday if there are people already in for the weekend.

Got a Charity Cut coming up on October 4th, if you're interested.

I get off work at 5am on the 4th, how late in the day do you guys normally work on these? I do want to try and make one of your charity cuts

Got home awhile ago, with a nice load of hedge, now I need to cut my splitter out of those ten foot horse weeds. No problem with sap with this load.

Haven't been on here much, just thought I'd check in. Got my 034 put together finally, runs really good, VERY impressed. Took my little 026 out in the yard to do some cutting and it just wasn't cutting right. It just didn't have enough ooomph to keep going in the cut. Checked the compression, 115 psi. I think I just need to eliminate the base gasket. Squish was at 1.25mm (.050" I think - I hate using SAE measurements, too complicated). It's an aftermarket kit, so its possible it could be off a little. Who knows.

So I'm thinking that I might have to buy a replacement muffler for the 261 and do a proper outlet/MM instead of the 3 crude holes I currently have drilled in mine... Dad and I cut some dead/semi-rotted Bur Oaks today and I got to call the local volunteer FD out as I set a punky trunk section on fire with it. I thought I had the embers out with a bottle of water, after I first noticed them, but the heat/embers sucked inside of the rot and caught the whole thing on fire. We were beside the road (N. side) cutting, with a S. wind blowing into beans so we were safe there but the ditches were dying and there were houses near, so I didn't want to too waste time, in case it got out of hand... In 33 years, that's the first time I've done that... Thank God I wasn't in a more precarious spot at the time.

Look that piston over real good...
If it and the rings pass muster, remove the base gasket..
While you have the jug off, raise the upper transfer roof a few thousandths and bevel the nikasil a bit...
You'll get good results...
Or nip the crown of the piston in the area of the upper transfers and leave the jug alone...

Chad pulled the base gasket on a AM cylinder of my buddys 260 and ended up with over 200 psi he made a thin
gasket it helped lower it a little. it may have been an odd deal?

Ya just gotta get that squish around .020, then get the blow down under 20 degrees... It'll run good...
Let the compression worry about itself...

Getting rain, thunder and lightning as I type, the weather man got this one right for a change.
