Just checked my 6401.

I've used .35mm for the auxiliary jet on a Husky 365. The guy was over the moon about the increase in torque. He couldn't be bothered to purchase a BB kit to bump the displacement.

If you did the mods for the 6401 and then later put the larger 79 or 84cc jug on it, then you could open the auxiliary up to .40mm.

Thanks for the info.
Picked this one up a while back, stripped down to shortblock to clean and inspect.
Need to fuel it, run it.... and of course get a 7910 kit for it!
Will be a build off saw for MMWS GTG next year.

Very good read! great build! I'd like to see some pics and vids of huskys done like this. Maybe 357 with a 372 cylinder,
372 with with a 390 cylinder,
Or even a 390 with w 3120 stroke.
Thinkn about building something like this myself on a husky chassis.

The 357/272 build is a very good stock appearing race saw build and it doesn't suffer being at the bottom of the 5 cube class size range. There's absolutely nothing "peaky" about the powerband with that little case volume, it's very strong. I'd never use it for cutting firewood or any other work purpose because I don't think the undersized crankshaft would last very long.

The 372/390 is more challenging because of the 12mm crank rod end from the 372 being too small to fit the 13mm piston pin and bearing. A member here has built one. He milled out the rod end to fit the 390, but that left it weakened and didn't last long. I suppose one could take the crankshaft and swap out the rods to the correct size or maybe even kill two birds with one stone and do a stroker.

I would be very interested to see a 390 with a 3120 stroke.

As a matter of fact I was just rereading your 357 hybrid build thread. You ever get that put back together?

On the 372/390 I was thinkn about putting the entire 390 into the 372 cases. Itll take some machine work. Hoping to do some mock ups next week. I just wondered if it had been done b4.

Fruecrue your letting these guys turn this into a yucky husky thread.

:eek::D
Sorry op didnt mean to hijack this thread! I've got a real nice 7900 dolly myself. Great saws. Looking forward to more builds like this in the future!
