Big bore and stroked Husky 395 build.

I'm not a great machinist. Getting the taper right would be tough. Also, I'm not sure my lathe is rigid enough to cut through the layer of hardened material.

I suppose I could machine one for you.

I've got a crank.....

 

[Redfin]

Can you put one in a 288xp? I think the 394xp uses the same crank as a 288xp...

I looked at this a few years ago when i had both 2100 and 288 apart on the bench.

Iirc the only clearance needed would be for the big end of the rod.

Congrats. Now stop tugging on it!

The counter weight is a bit bigger on the 2100 so the whole case ID needs to be increased by around 0.1"

NEVER !!!!!!

Awesome build BTW.

I'm a little jealous of your capabilities.

What does @srcarr52 for living? All these machinery at your place?

I was thinking of milling off the weights.

I'm a leg model. My legs are probably the most talked about topic on the World Wide Web. I'm pretty famous you know.

No, i did not know that! A lot of talents over here, saw builders, hand models, leg models....
Thanks for the info Sir.

I'm a mechanical engineer and I do software programming. I was an automotive machinist before college. These are my personal machines setup at a friends race shop.

Where are you in Belgium? I lived in Leuven for a few months about 10 years ago.

I was thinking of milling off the weights.

I originally thought of the same thing. I was going to skinny up the weights to be the same size as the 395 and even reduce some of the counterweight near the center of the throw to match the 395 weights. But the big rod end is only 0.010-0.020" less than the counterweight and the case part line is centered over it, so you still end up taking about the same amount off the gasket surface.

Really, it spools up plenty quick. The extra inertia probably helps keep the RPM more stable in the cut.

Is the carb massaged? What one is on it?
I'm still screwing with this 105 stihl.
Yours sounds crispy!

I think it's the Walbro WJ115, it has the throttle shafts skinned and the venturi massaged a little. I dislike it because it's hard to get a screwdriver in the EPA adjusting screws even after modifying them.

 

[Lightning Performance]

Do you think that 070 090 knock off carb would feed these saws and maintain user friendly manners? I want to mill with mine so it needs to be just start/run and WOT.

 

[cgraham1]

So where do I send my 288xp to get it stroked?

 

[huskyboy]

For whatever reason...I find the earlier tillotson runs real good on these and the 385/390. Nothing wrong with the walbro, I just think the tilly just runs well.

I agree, I want the HS-300A but can't find one and I'm not paying $100 for a new one.
