Mike, Brad said it is That is Wigglesworth  Jeremy.  I need to get in contact with him. Help somehow?

 I know he lives down close to Murray KY where I was born on the other side of KY Lake.   I go fishing there every year still.

Hey Mike,  I'll send you a link @ the other site to my MS 290 thread.  Everything I know about those saws is in there. 
I know that 290 is a stout saw.  It was cuttin right close to a 440 last time I ran it.  The vids are in that thread. 
I think you asked me about this saw a while back.  I can't remember if I ever got back to you.  If I didn't I appologize.  Please let me know if you need any help with it.  I don't have to many secrets.

Well Stumpy I'll definitely need all the help I can get.
This saw runs out great but it really needs about 30 lbs. more compression.
I have got a MONSTER pop-up in it and it brought it up about 15 lbs.
What I REALLY need is a .030 taller piston.

The idea was right  you just didn't go far enough with it .

There have been people who welded pop up to increase the comp on clam shell saws but they were wide pop  ups ,not like the head on a rivit .A little skinny pop up won't do you a lot of good for several reason .

First up inside the combustion chamber it does nothing for the flame front except blow it out sideways .It doesn't do a thing to redirect the transfer around the intake  side of the cylinder for a better scavanging  to purge the residue  exhaust gasses .

To raise the comp you have to fill the void that would normally be air space with metal ,you just don't have enough of it .

This is a standard  pop up on a removable cylinder Stihl saw which is somewhere around 25-30 thou .It was not done to raise the comp but to improve flow over the top of the piston .I could have made it a tad wider but it works as intended


Now I hate to bust your bubble on this and I'm not trying to be a smart azz but that design of pop  up is just not going to work the way you want it to .

Thats a good idea you have with the block holding the piston in place when installing the cylinder. ;)

My bubble isn't really burst Al.

It's like Edison said when inventing the light bulb. "Now I know of a thousand things that won't work.
This is just a toy for me anyway.
Hopefully I'll get the right combination before I die!LOL

Mike looks like mweba figured out something to get that psi up with a mac piston and shortening the rod.  :o I think he said something in the 170psi range .

McCulloch Titan 57 piston in this saw due to the thin rings and domed crown.

This 310 saw is running a McCulloch Titan 57 thin ring domed piston. In order to fit this piston having a lower pin placement, the connecting rod was shortened by 3.5mm. In this wood with a 20" full ch it pulls a consistent 10200

This saw has my mind spinning.  Ended up with four tanks through it today.  BTW the grinder has not touched a port or tranfer on this thing yet.  Kinda scared to honest LOL  I wore my grinding face shield for the first tank................
