Default RE: Stihl FS80 brushcutter engine

I can't speak to the FS 80, but I have a FD 108 (35cc) on a 19# Bipe. The engine is running a CH ignitions syncrospark unit. I raised the compression and cut the ports for 105 deg ATDC for the exhaust and 108 deg ABDC for the intake. It turns a 20-8 wood MA Semitar at 6800. There was a fair amount of cutting to get rid of the excess metal on the engine, but it made a good conversion.
