So I got this saw a few weeks ago for some work I did. Had a problem with the first cylinder kit so I got the second one I ordered Thursday night. Went out today and got her all back together. It was in pretty rough shape after I tore into her. Stripped out screw holes, missing screws but she’s in one piece now.
I ripped it all the way down, I didn’t split the cases but it was down that far. Bearings and seals were good so I put a fresh top end, fixed the stripped out screw holes, and some parts in the lever brake section. The band was broke and the spring up top right under the brake handle was broke. So I replaced all that, what a pain. Rebuilt the carb, cleaned every part and here’s what I have, A fresh 395xp.
Haven’t started it up yet gonna give everything time to seal and fire it up in the morning. First saw I ever tore all the way down and rebuilt. Had fun and can’t wait to tear into the 372’s I got in the same trade. Here’s some pics of her sitting next to her sister saw, and a couple befores. She’s the one with no decomp
