Interesting build 85 cc. A good tip on those hyway cylinders try using a green silicon carbide stone to grind those ports works for me. Because nikasil is short for Nickel silicon carbide. I was a machinist and that is how you sharpen carbide tools with a green silicon stone without chipping.
Its interesting to see how much the small changes make to the power curve, like the exuast port and timing changes, cool build and its knocking on the 10hp door.
Those fingers look like they working out.. I'm sure you'll see some more gains once you get into the carb and play with the venturi, butterflies, and shafts.
Wow! Great video Joe. Never have I seen plating shred like that. Killer work showing the benefits in timing advance and how it actually improved the width of the powerband. Can you weld up a pop up to get a little more compression or is that outside the rules?
The last meteor 52 mm cylinder I ported didn’t have much meat in the intake port. Hit day light just blending the intake port. It was very thin where the grove is machined for the intake boot. Other then that not bad cylinders for the money.
I needed the nikasil plating for the chrome ring, or I would have used a different option. Might have been better off thinning a caber to 1mm to fit the piston. But hopefully this holds up for the few cuts I have planned
Hey joe! I was wondering what kind of paint do you use on your mufflers and like when you redo the crank case? Would love to hear back from ya! Love the channel been watching all of your videos and liking em thanks!!
@@dynojoemods2764 that’s kind of a bummer. T4 has about 6% oxygen content, 97 octane (R+M)/2 but the O2 is mostly where the power comes from. High compression plus advanced ignition timing is where that fuel will really shine. Would be interesting to get some dyno numbers.
U just cut the key. The little woodruff key just cut a bit off so u can turn the flywheel a bit advanced. U can actually buy em of all sorts . “Offset woodruff key”
@@dynojoemods2764 Thank you. Very interesting🤔Historically the only Efree here was 91 but recently a new filling station opened that offers 87 Efree for 40 cents less per gallon than 91 but still more than adultered 87. I don’t know that octane plays a role in 2 cycle engines anyway. I may just use the 87.
Interesting vid Joe, nice work, I was surprised by the power made by the timming advance, also are those cylinders a bit hit and miss regarding chipping?, Noticed Tin man ported a highway the other day on vid and he said it grinded nice like an oem. 🤷🏻♂️
I have only done a few aftermarket ones, and always have more problems with the "better" plating. But I also get a bit aggressive. I have had the best luck with the cheap no name chrome kits.
I noticed on a video the other day your dyno has a bigger sprocket on the water brake. My brain tells me that gives the engine an advantage but would it change the torque output reading at 12" vs it being driven 1:1?. Reason asking I'm trying to build a budget diy dyno using a disk brake and a digital readout load cell. No computer just math lol. But the thought of spinning a motorcycle brake disk 12k+ worrys me just a little. I'm just trying to understand the physics of the gear ⚙️ reduction and if it will change the torque reading and how to calculate its affect if so. I'm thinking if it's like a 3:1 gear reduction you would devied the torque reading by 3 to get the valve correct?. Any help appreciated Joe thanks.
Looks like the Neotec's can take quite a bit of timing advance. How much timing advance are you giving the 50cc and 60cc echos (490, 4910, 590)? Say, mildly ported cleaned up saw, not a race saw? How much do you think should I take off the key, and have it still idle good, and not start popping and overheat.
Dirtbikes do use a lot more transfer ports. C ports, bridged exhaust and even boost ports. All has to do with transfer size/area. With a finger you and aim and direct the charge. Where just widening a single upper could catch a ring and not flow near as well.
Are these MS650 kits or 064? I have a stihl OE non clone ms650 and haven't seen cylinder kits for it at the stock 85 cc. I have a 54 mm p+c on it now and the starting kickback is insane. I have also had a lot of piston slap issues with this saw. Any thoughts? Thanks much
The clone saws are 54mm 660 size. But Hyway/meteor make a 650 cylinder 52mm which is what i used to drop the cc some. Dukes saw salvage has a nice 064 52mm kit. But the holes need to be opened up to fit the 660 case.
@@2stroketime348 All the companies will do the plating part it is the finish/hone that is very difficult to do with the head attached. I have done 1 successfully but it took far too long to be worthwhile
I think you’re doing some amazing things with these saws. The dyno doesn’t lie.

These videos are pure gold for those of us interested/learning.... Thanks, Joe!
Really enjoy these videos.

Great to watch cheers 😊
Sweet build
Clever build Joe👍🏻

As always, another great video Joe. Tremendous gains on that one! Awesome job and keep up the great work man!
Thanks for sharing and good luck racing ...
Thank you
Yours is the only channel I trust. You are busting all kinds of myths to you know.
Great information to chew on! Thx Joe!
Lots of Testing, Love It!!
Awesome work Joe! I feel sorry for your competition :)

Nice work! Thanks for explaining the ignition timing more - on how you decide to keep going or stop.
Been a minute with youtube notifying me your videos are out but hope all is well buddy and interesting build keep up the great work 🤘
Awesome job, appreciate the knowledge
Would be cool to have a dyno. Nice to see what each mod does. Cheers
Great video Joe!
Nice build, Joe ! Greatings from Germany 🤘
Hi Mr Joe!
Your banner is always flying on here, and THAT is a good thing fer ya 😊
Thinning down, trimming one side of the key, I gotcha kool deal thanks
Amazing work, you're a magician!
In your case once you have a cylinder flake out it is just a candidate for a sleeve, right?
Looks great, wish i was closer to all the saw events!
It’s going to be “the bees knees” 😊
How about an 064 AV cylinder Or better yet, if you can get your hands on a MS 650 cylinder that has a thick flang

He uses a ceramic high temp exhaust paint
Run some VP T4 in that bad boy. Guarantee you’ll pick up some power.
Have to run regular fuel for the class

I would be very interested to know how to advance the timing

Nice! Just curious, what grade gasoline and oil type/mix ratio? No intention of creating an oil debate!
Depends on the day. Either 87 pump gas or 90 e free with 40:1 amsoil dominator

Sharpie and eyeball. Just stay inside the sharpie line.

Other than the 2511/590s the echo dosent like much advance
what is the point with fingerports? u never see this on a dirtbike.

On a firewood g660 how much timing do you think I can add and still have it last? Stock setup 91octane fuel. Thx keep up the good work
Those finger ports are incredibly tidy, do you literally free hand them with a right angle tool?
👍🏻👏
ever thought of porting a cylinder then have it replated? just an idea
Nobody can finish size these blind cylinders once plated.
@dynojoemods2764 I've seen people do it themselves just time consuming the twostrokestuffing guy does it
