Thanks for the pic. That is very similar to what was shown in the mag i read (chevy high performance)
As per the timing issue, I removed the gasket completely and checked again. Now the exhaust is at 180. Just for the hell of it, i decided to check what the timing was on my Stihl 24.5cc. For the little amount that i have run it, it seems like a strong engine (the heavier alternative to the poulan) and the timing on it is very similar +/- 5 degrees. Im going to clean up the port so it looks a little nicer, and so its nice and straight across the top and bottom. Im also going to get a smaller bit and try and square up the corners of the port a bit to give it more surface area. The piston also travels just a bit past the bottom of the port when its at BDC, so im going to remove that as well. Then if i have time today, I will try and test run it again. My new prop should also be here tomorrow, and i have charged the camera up, so I will try and get a video as promised.
