This is the redneck chainsaw repair forum right.

I made this to the exact width and the exact diameter of the 295 crankcase and where the bearings seat.   Then I mounted the cylinder upside down in my vise and set it in there and applied pressure equally to both sides.   Rotating the cylinder from side to side and taking lots of measurements.   I pressure checked it when I was done and it was nice and tight with no leaks.

nice! did you do any decking of the mating surface?

Once I got the bearing seating depth lower by .020" I then sanded down the base by .020.    I then put it all together and checked the squish and got my .020".    I might add that I probably did this measurement 5 or 6 times until I got it to where I wanted it.

Once I got the bearing seating area to the right depth which was another .020".     I then sanded the bottom of the cylinder flat until I removed .020 from there also.   I then put it all together and checked the squish to make sure it was at .020".   I probably did this measurement 5 or 6 times to make sure it was correct and I did not over shoot anything.   

     You know they are always saying clamshells you cannot raise the compression on them because you cannot drop the cylinder.    So I wanted to come up with a fairly simple method without using a vertical mill which would probably would have been the proper way.   But until you try something you never know.

That IS a very cool way to make a GREAT saw even better!

Wonder what it would cost to have this done?

I do not know but it is fun being able to try different things and have a good out come.    The worst would have been I was out a cylinder for a 295.   I have never posted a video before and I am going to try and post one of the saw running.   It is really quick on the acceleration.

I can't keep a 295!

Every time I get one running like I want, someone else decides they like it more than me.

Well I took the 295 out today and cut up some more of this cottonwood I have.   I have to say this little saw cuts like nobody's business.    I cut some of the large rounds into quarters and found that when noodling it clears chips pretty good too.   I do not know what the elevation is here but we are higher then Denver here.  I may have to take another one of my 295's and do the same mods to it also.   For what this saw costs and the price of parts I would take this saw over many other 46cc saws.

That could be right.   I have a GPS here and it has elevation readings on it.
