@darrelljohnson4658 Thanks Darrell; more to come on this saw (Lord willing and the Creeks don't rise). Thanks for chiming-in, Darrell. Merry Christmas!
@prestontimbs74 Thank you!! I am also new to 2 strokes (relatively speaking); as you see it, I'm learning it and/or sharing my perception of my own reality. I do tend to NOT confine my thinking to the proverbial "box" and tend to explain stuff in a manner that my left-handed brain understands. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for joining-in down here; we are growing an awesome community down here in the comments; glad you're here!!
About the hemostats- I belong to a couple of radio control aircraft clubs, and we were talking about prizes for an upcoming event, one of the wifes worked for the local hospital, talked to the supply guy, and showed up with a gallon baggie of surgical supplies 😊. Being as it was my idea, cuz ya know that you absolutely need pinchers for the delicate and small stuff……well I got first grabs. Having purchased some previously I knew what to look for, and sure enough I got a couple of German made ones. They are made of the best stuff, and aren’t rubbery like the third world ones 😮. But I primarily use them for me, and the cheap ones are for wrenching. Absolutely worth every penny when you need them!
@wrstew1272 I never get to pick through, I would just get what was discarded... I never turned anything down... but some stuff I had to ask for if it was normally red-bag stuff. The little IV clamps for lines are ways thrown away with the set-up... I like the clamps for fuel lines; I had to "demand" some of those!! No wonder my shop is such a mess; a hoarder crossbred with a tinkerer is a combination that will usually have SOMETHING on-hand to fix most situations!
Great vidjyas and parodies nice and short like my attention span. glad I found them. guess I’ll have to keep watching them even if y’all sound funny when ya talk 🤓
Great video. I love any kind of dyno videos from chainsaws to a train engine and everything in between. I was just test running one of my 026s yesterday. You guys have a merry Christmas
@FarmlessFarmer-xs1he MEEE TOOOO!! I had another dyno years ago when I was building and pulling tractors. It was an old antiquated dyno, and there were no electronics on it, but I could see results adn test theories; I love that!! I did barbaric things to engines that "should" never work, and proved out theories I had. First cam shaft I ever did, I reground with a 4-1/2" hand grinder... and made good power. Hope you and your loved ones had a Merry Christmas, too.
Amazing what removing a little restriction will do. So nice actually seeing the process and the results. That dyno is going to keep you busy testing ideas. I think my clutch is slipping on my Echo 7310 as well. I'm curious what your thoughts about solving that issue will be. My saw is just over a year old. Clutch shows no evidence of slipping but it's getting hot enough to not work after a long mill cut. I'd appreciate any ideas.
@Kevin.L_ A little restriction goes a long way; I don't think the deflector was bashed-in as the outer part of muffler looked undamaged. Clutch slippage (in my guestimation) can be caused by a few things. 1) Bogging saw down some thereby lowering centrifugal force to keep it engaged. 2) Overheated (thereby hardened) clutch surfaces 3) Grease/oil buildup inside of clutch drum... which may cook out over time, but may leave a glaze. 4) too strong of clutch springs; weak clutch springs can/will let chain creep at idle, but DO let them engage harder; it's a fine line between letting chain creep and most-possible engagement at RPM. 5) clutch shoes worn past spec and/or drum worn too past specs. Not sure if they still publish specs to general public or not? Probably more causes, but those of the off-the-cuff ones that you have probably considered. Maybe someone else can chime-in with other ideas.
@larryrumppe3720 Thanks Jasen! Got timing numbers from Stock (44mm) Cyl today and from Aftermarket cyl (44.7) cylinder today. Thinking I should put it back together and get dyno run so one can know what to expect if he/she only owns a T-27 and just wants a more CCs. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube on the muffler mod though. Looks like lots of room for gains in transfers, but not too much on timing numbers on stock cyl; AM cyl intake is terrible as are the transfers. Thanks for being here, Larry! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
@wrstew1272 It sure is!! In hindsight, I'm not 100% sure that it was a whole 1/2 HP... maybe it was... I can't remember if I was doing weather correction on my dyno at the time. I've had TWO growing pains on my dyno software; neither was huge, but I thought I would mention it. The "old me" wasn't a liar, but the old-me was erroneous.
@larryrumppe3720 I believe they are a good small saw that have more potential. I got the timing numbers on stock (44mm) cyl, new cyl (44.7mm), etc... today. Upon peeling the bark off of the carcass, it appears there is a LOT of room for improvement without going overboard. May have a chance to put the aftermarket cyl on tomorrow and get a base-run on dyno to get an indication of what one may expect with JUST a piston/cyl swap. Hope not to drag it out on one saw for TOO long, but plan on a few more vids on this build. Glad you're here, Larry; thank you and Merry Christmas.
@jimcowger5760 I think maybe my editing software can do that? You know me, though... I can barely get my computer turned-on, let alone, get it do do what I want 😂
@sky.hunter Loneliness, other than being quantifiable, is a state of mind. While one cannot necessarily cure their own, they can cure that of others. Take a moment over the Christmas season and go to a nursing home or such; give them a smile, some attention; and listen to some stories (even if they do not interest you). In helping with THEIR loneliness and seeing a new twinkle in old lonely eyes, you will find your own loneliness is calmed somewhat. Not necessarily GOOD advice, but it's worth all you paid for it. I know you bring nice comments here that others and I can enjoy; you should be immensely appreciated by others too!!
Good class thanks Oregon
@darrelljohnson4658 Thanks Darrell; more to come on this saw (Lord willing and the Creeks don't rise). Thanks for chiming-in, Darrell. Merry Christmas!
Good stuff bud. I am new to 2 strokes and chainsaws but I like how you break it down and it makes sense to a dummy like me.

@karlsborgwi.jewell9919 I sure get the talk-funny part; too much Hank Snow and George Jones as a lil chillun, I reckon. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your family also ❤❤

It’s interesting to see each modification and what gains if any you get

Half a horse is great for just opening holes in the muffler!

Interesting. Lots of hrs, running 26s. Overall it did what it was suppose to. Cool to see what tweaks do.

When your doing test cuts can you add stop clock to cuts before and after
@jimcowger5760 I think maybe my editing software can do that? You know me, though... I can barely get my computer turned-on, let alone, get it do do what I want 😂
@jimcowger5760 If you watch the latest vid with the aftermarket cylinder, let me know what you think about comparing test cuts that way.
just wanna say 👋
@sky.hunter Thanks!! Hope you, your friends, and loved ones have a Joyous and Merry Christmas.
it is just me😣

I have been diagnosed with severe anhedonia.
Something inside me has died. Out of everything, I miss feeling love and being in love.
