Chainsaw Repair

Customer service probably has no idea what a good cylinder is supposed to look like anyhow. You could have showed them a pic of a clutch and they wouldn't know the difference.

well, after a month of use, and lots of fuel (can't remember how may tanks ), the saw is still running and making pretty good power. i would have to say it is making the same ommph a regular 61.5cc 034 would make, and quite honestly, feels like a little more. starts easy, good on gas, great (yes great) throttle response and likes to rev i have it tuned way up to about 13800 rpm, still burbles nicely and the compression has come up to just under 155psi. not bad so far
now the problem is getting it back from kristian long enough to give it a good go myself. i have a pile of crappy manitoba maples out back that need to be removed so i can get the old farm equipment out of there

the only thing from them i didn't use was the pin it was a little to easy to insert it into the piston. the clips are also bigger than the stock pieces, so you need to use them. there wasn't any problems with getting them in and they fit properly. not too deep in the groove or easily bent out of shape.
i would like to see what this would run like with a stock piston in that thar cylinder but it seems to run very well the way it is.

go golfing dude! their quality can't be beat!---most of the time the casting and machining mako passes off as 'good enough' (at least in this kit), leaves you wondering if 'fugly' can slow down a saw
every golf piston i have had in my hands looked fantastic compared to the mako unit. some even looked better than the stockers did. all new pistons usually look better than a piston that went thermo-nuclear

I thought this Meteor for a 346XP looked pretty nice

Meteor is my 1st choice in AFM. But unfortunately it isnt offered in 246.
