Any Chinese chainsaw and chinese parts discussion

I fired it up stock , but I really intend to run it modified.
It does run well and idle right out of the box. If the hyway cylinder doesn't have what it takes to improve the engine I'll just swap back to the original.

I'm guessing the Hyway won't rev up well. Low exhaust, can't remember if the intake was high or not, and I think the transfers were high and small. Heavy piston too.

The transfers do look a little small , but they'll get some grinding.
I thought about stroking it, but that may wait until I do other modifications(muffler and cylinder work)
I'm also teaching myself how to weld and trying not to blow holes in thin metal!

Hey fellas, I know there are multiple sources for buying these kit saws. My question is, have any of you ordered direct from Farmertech? I ask because they have the 660 kit for advertised $157 and change. I’m wondering if shipping kills the deal, both in terms of price and wait time?

I got a 395xp from them a few months back. Shipping is around $75 I believe? That put my total for the 395 at $325. It was around a month shipping time. One thing I like to do though is tack some small stuff on the order cause they do combine shipping. So often you can add several small things with minimal increase in shipping costs.

Yup same, the shipping from the slow boat is usually 77$ but I usually get some smalls ordered with it.
The 4 saw order is a deal on the shipping.

Blue or orange?

I think they made a mistake or in the process of changing prices
because the orange 372xp was 89.00 this morning
And notice the blue 288 is 209.00 now
It was 109.00 when i bought mine
And the orange was out of stock.

I went with the blue one. I was wondering if maybe they made a price mistake. Hopefully they honor the sale.

 

[Loony661]

Looks like the $89 price is still holding for the one I bought.

I bought the puppy for 78$

My family have run the hell out of mine
Still runs like new.

I just got one of those. Ran 2 tanks of fuel and I'm impressed with it so far.

Have they ever made a bad Dolmar?

You guys got me wanting one of those g288 saws. I was looking on the website and thinking serious about buying one. Then reality set in. I'm in no physical condition to be using a 16+ pound saw. Then I saw the joncutter 3800 for $30 + $51 shipping. That's the size saw I can see myself using. So I was wondering if any of you have one and what you think about it.

Yes
Multiple coils that didn't interchange in the same model line
And each are very expensive
