Was a Moe 394, now a Joe 395

I know ...........

Work has demanded extra hours this past week and weekend.

I did get to mzke a few more marks in the cylinder to help guide me when I finally get around to porting it.

Bump

 

[Moparmyway]

I’m sorry men, work has had me working like mad. I’m going to be porting this cylinder tonight or tomorrow morning. I got in this morning just after 08:00, but I gotta get a little more sleep before I start with muh Foredom

Was able to get the exhaust roughed in, turning to the transferrs next

Got a nice present saturday, I guy I know walked into my shop and said he had a present for me- a perfect set of 395 cases still together crank and all, rare to find 394-395 cases in such good shape- I do a lot of these builds and the biggest setback is the clutch side case is unusable, got all the parts for the making of a great saw, a 372 and that one should both be up and running this week.

I do a lot of these builds and the biggest setback is the clutch side case is unusable.

Most of the damaged stuff can be repaired. The absolute worst I’ve ever seen was a 394 flywheel side case half. Had over a dozen thin cracks working their way outward from the bearing pocket. Most made it to the end of the magnesium too.

Worst flywheel side I've fixed to date.

Need someone like you in our neck of the woods that can repair cases like that, would have saved a lot of cases, got a set here with spun bearing syndrome, the bearings no longer press tight into the cases, P.S. name comes up Heather But it is actually Gord, Tried to get it changed from my wifes name to mine but have had no success.

Maybe this guy can help with the name change? @Mastermind

The way folks are carrying on with gender changes nowadays, a simple name change should be a piece of cake, eh?

It would probably take him quite a while.....being as slow as he is and stuffs....

FINALLY got the porting finished, so its on to continuing the assembly !!

Impulse goes here ......
Time to make the throttle cable work

Most every 394 throttle cable I've used has needed a little help to get full throttle. This safety wire wont ever come off and doesnt ever get in the way

 

[Moparmyway]

A little hot glue here goes a long way to keeping this little blue guy outta the way

Havta get the air tube aligned and route the plug wire, install the carb adjuster cover, aligning the blue kill wire into its slot
Needs a new recoil handle and rope ............... Gotta stick with OEM !!

There we go .............. ALL OEM starter assy ............

 

[Moparmyway]

Got a brand new OEM muffler to modify for little Joe now

 

[RI Chevy]

That Stihl starter handle gotta be good for a tenth or 2 in the cut, No? Lol

 

[Onan18]

Woot Woot!!!

 

[RI Chevy]

You'll have a super stout saw soon Joe!
