That's some lovely machine work there Scott

 

[breese]

I am very jealous... To have the tools and ability to create such great work, OMG.
Now, why the new carb mount? What is the end result of doing this?

 

[twinstaged]

Very nice.

that's a 084 carb and boot. about twice the flow. on a ported 385. this was the second place saw at wigs 385/390 build off gtg in 2015. I did a build thread on it then.

Why a 385 and not 390? Unless you already had a 385...

So that was the full circle Poulan wannabe?

Ive always been told those cranks aren't happy campers when pushed on to hard. So does that mean you have an upgrade for them or can they only handle short bursts of speed?

many moons ago, a wise man once stated that huskys were for racing and stihls were for working.
time has proven he was right. huskys need to be rebuilt every 6 seconds, and the stihs keep on chugen for years.

Thats like evinrude johnson verses mercury a omc outboard gos forever and is very little mait.but take a mercury outboard they are faster and thats why everyone races em but boy they are tempermental at times.omc boat motors stihl chainsaws and chevy trucks for me

Or kawasaki skis vs yamaha skis. They both have good points. Depends on what you are doing tho. I know you will never break the jug mounting ears at the base off on a kaw with 180+psi. See it every day on yamaha tho. But almost noone runs kaw motors in the aftermarket hulls its all yamaslop. Pumps too they are all 144+ mm yamaha .

On the bright side the screws have all fallen out. So the rebuild is quick.
