394 to 395 mod

One more better pic. See the fin that needs drilling

 

[Scott chandler]

Intake side will be fine with longer bolts but exhaust is where the problem will be . I either drill or buy and use longer bolts but then the bolts will be pulling down on fins and they look kind of thin for that

Yeah, that's not right. You can't even slip the screw in from the side like you have to on an 066.

This is pic of both sides of meteor cylinder View attachment 107539

I see now. Mine were both oem cylinders. Bolt and run. The aftermarket stuff usually requires looking over. Both my oem cylinders required NO drilling whatsoever. Aftermarket isn’t all bad, just need to be inspected. Meteor and hyway are probably the best out of am.

 

[huskyboy]

If you do another 395, buy the oem cylinder. It costs the same as the am ones. 139$ on ebay last time I checked for the oem p/c.

This cylinder came as a kit from hlaupply. I will open up the two holes with care just big enough for head to fit through and use the two stock screws

It’ll be just fine with those holes opened up. I would be confident using meteor stuff.

I'm glad to hear it husky. It looks quality even the piston. Like i said i have nothing in the saw but i really don't want to add up all kits conversions nuts bolts bar carbs shipping up for a total ! But i have really enjoyed messing with it and saw looks great once i cleaned it up. I hope it runs and cuts as well as i have read it will. Only thing different i think i should have done is a shorter bar. 32" is long Really long. Probably will spring for 24" down the road. Carb and metal round piece for rubber intake will be here maybe tomorrow and throttle cable next week so maybe one Eve next week fire it up. Would you mix first gas a little rich with oil or is that bad idea ?

I. Would you mix first gas a little rich with oil or is that bad idea ?

Nope, just mix what you are going to use and run it.

I’d run no leaner than 40:1

 

[Scott chandler]

So 40:1 - is that for 1 chainsaw tank or a fuel can or forever. I use the husqvarna 50:1 and always have but if you think i should change i want to and whatever ratio suggested too

 

[huskyboy]

50:1 is too lean on long cuts in a big saw like that. Use 40:1 with your oil of choice and run heck out of it.

 

[Scott chandler]

Will it hurt to run 40:1 in the other saws too. All husky. 51. 55. 257. I don't mind changing a plug little more often if needed or having a separate tank of fuel just for the 395

 

[huskyboy]

It won’t hurt them, just tune them to the mix.

Have you seen damage at 50:1 Mason?

I've always wanted to learn how to adjust a two cycle carb !! Ok I'm going to search for a how to on here. Your run the saw like normal till good and warm then adjust . Two screws a high and a low jet ? One for idle and one for high rpm ?

The bottom end in my 372 was completely dry. Tree service runs 50:1 in there stuff. Bone dry inside. Why does the husqvarna international manual state 33:1 is recommended for 80cc+ saws?

 

[Scott chandler]

I've run 50:1 for years in everything from weed eater to blowers and hedge trimmers and never locked one up but i like the idea of extra oil inside the case

 

[Scott chandler]

Husky since you brought it up - the 372 would you put it up there with a favorite saw ? As far as size vs power. I have always wanted one

Adjust the low by turning it in till the saw lopes from being lean then back it out about 1/4 turn. Set the high speed on 395 to 12,500rpm or till it four strokes out of the cut and cleans up in the cut. Richer is safer than too lean. This will work on all your saws.
