    Good stuff. I had a revelation several months ago regarding exhaust shape- similar to the shape you noted. I read that it is better to widen the top a bit, before the transfers open- made total sense.

  • @ljurhallabocken
    @ljurhallabocken 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    crankcase compression only reaches like 10 psi. If you think about the engine running at 50-250 revolutions per second or 3000-15000 rpm, think about how long the transfers are open for each stroke. If you have an air hose pressurized to 10 psi, and could open the gate for 1/50th of a second, and that is a full stroke of the engine at idle, how much air is coming out of that hose?
    The only way these engines can pump efficiently is from the energy produced by the burning mix.
    At first the expanding gases push the piston down, then as the exhaust opens and the gases hit the muffler can and expand, it created a pulling effect on the rest of the cylinder, vacuum. And a lot of it. So the transfers want to open just as the pressure is changing to a vacuum for the most efficiency.
    After pondering this for a bit I see this as the only way to get enough transfer to run the engine. The crankcase compression combined with a vacuum on the other side means the transfer port sees a much greater differential than just 10 psi to atmosphere

      Usually you just don't make drastic changes. The longer the bar the less aggressive you get with raising the roof.

  • @Ирокез
    @Ирокез 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hi. Could you explain why on chainsaws the crankshaft is shaped like a “pear” and not a full circle? Wouldn’t a round crankshaft increase the transfer pressure? After all, there will be less free space - on motorcycles it is round.

    • @Smittyschainsaws
      @Smittyschainsaws  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yes you are correct but the largest gain from full circle cranks is very wide power band. Chainsaws don’t really need that wide of a power band.

    Hello from Brazil my friend
    Can you try to help me, please?
    My chainsaw(chinese) has a problem with excessive compression. But when I remove the spark plug the piston rotates normally. Even placing your finger in thze spark plug opening causes the piston to become extremely compressed again. Yesterday I installed a completely new cylinder and piston, but the problem remains. I changed the spark plug, removed the carburetor and exhaust fan, and still the problem remains. Do you have any idea what it could be? Can I send you a video showing the problem? I have been seeking help with this mystery on various social media channels, Instagram, TH-cam, but no one has been able to guess what could be causing the problem.

    Your way of explaining is easy understanding and yes with making more videos sharing your knowledge. I'm looking to put a McCulloch 7-10 auto piston and cylinder on a 450 Husqvarna chassis with some kind of bottom end. You and others may be thinking " WHY" and to that I say " WHY NOT" with no rhyme or reason other then the parts and pieces with pieces of parts are there.
