115 or 116 should be fine. The RWJ is for a 372 xtorq. The bore is adequate but the jet is too small and oriented poorly.

What is the spacing for 9000?

That blue goo at the cylinder gasket isn’t stock. Somebody has been in there. Cylinder looks good except for that hole in the plug threads. I would get a new piston (meteor or OEM). Fuel lines, filter, carb kit. Check the crank bearings extremely carefully. New seals won’t hurt. The serial...

I ran one of Simon’s saws. It was okay.

There are multiple threads on AS about the 268 piston in a 372. Unfortunately that place has gone to the dogs. I’ve done both slab and windowed. The slab feels stronger but neither holds a candle to a machined and ported 372 with the full circle slug.

45mm is husky 353…I think the pin is different though.

I think it’s a 44mm bore so there may be a taller piston out there. Being a clamshell kills a lot of interest in serious mods.

@Nutball did it several years ago. I think he was running 3/8lp. It’s a great indicator of these saw’s capabilities. My experience is that bar lengths like that are not practical for a top handle saw. A rear handle version could be pretty cool. It’s still a lot to ask from a 5lb bundle of...

Are you going to incorporate an option for side and exhaust fed transfer cylinders? A modular deck plate would help with that.

I’m not sure which saws have it and which don’t. Stihl 201 and Echo 2511 do have it, but you may have never noticed. It doesn’t trip all that easily. But it should engage if you throw the saw, or any other wild flailing like gaffing out or falling down a hill. Maybe your 540 is overly...

That inertia break is on almost all pro saws and it’s there for a reason. It may save your butt some day.

I pay zero attention to 4stroking on these. They just sound LOUD. I tune the L and T for best idle and throttle response, then go straight to the log. Start my cut, then turn the H while cutting until I hit the best performance. Done.

2100 could also be considered.

Well, it’s promised to @Oddsandends if he wants it. I haven’t found a box to fit and get him a shipping quote. If he doesn’t want it you’re welcome to it. Stay tuned I suppose.

@Avisagio @nate @jacob j. @Normzilla @p61 western @Lnk @Woodslasher @NorcalFlyingsquirrel Chime in Fellas. Otherwise it will just be David and I splitting wood with axes and talking square file angles.

Deck height will determine a lot. The 390 is so wide that I haven’t seen anything it will fit. Never been into a 9000 though.

390 bolt pattern: But…

395 is a square 56mm (pto to Fw) x 54mm (int to ex), but the deck height is much lower on a 395 compared to a 6400. 10mm or more lower. No go.

Alright. I’m tossing out May 11-12, because it works for me. The following 18-19 could be doable. Let’s nail this down. If I don’t put it on the calendar soon I won’t be able to skip work.

Having a clear AF cover might not be the worst thing…
