Alright we're back in business $30. Buck 395 P and C and this conversion kit $60. Bucks, so $90 more to have a junkie operational saw vs. a $150.-$250 dollar loss, yes it's ugly but....

Will that one work without the need extra parts or do you have to have that $60. dollar kit to go with it?

Need the kit I believe.

This is everything I have, it's all pretty *s-wordty. But I knew the saw was in poor shape so I bought ugly used parts to match.View attachment 81754 View attachment 81755 View attachment 81756 View attachment 81757 View attachment 81758

It's not all that chitty....looks like most of the husky's I run into. Used hard put away wet. Needing some love, but worthy of the time. Wish I could get more comfortable working in them. Stihl easier for me.

So if we're into this saw for $200-250 and OEM P and C $140. Adapter kit $60. We have a $400-500 dollar ugly saw that can be beautified along the way with cheap used body parts. Sounds more appealing than a total loss. Plus you can knock a hundred off if you go with a Ching a long P and C ...

394 has impulse through intake hose 395 has a nipple on the cylinder but you can not buy a new oem 394 cylinder as they are nla takes about a hour to change over

If nothing else I learned some new stuff today, in case I ever get a 394-395 or have a conversation about em, I can act like I know all about em...

Would you approve of that $60 dollar kit that I linked to, or is there a mo better way? You know since your a Husqvarna expert and all...

I get all the babes at the local watering holes discussing the finer points of 90+cc husky saws.

I prefer oem

 

[Stump Shot]

I've started with a whole lot less. Not a big money maker here, but worth what you will have into it when you are done. And you will know what you have.

Hold it 394 OEM is NLA ( per Dall you know him?) And 395 won't work according to my schooling without modification so with the OEM 395 that you linked to would you use the $60 kit I linked to with it or ?
Now if I am going to act like I know what I'm talking about in the future, you need to get it at least half to 19/32 correct or its my reputation as a know it all that's on the line...

I'm not wanting to argue Dallypoo, I thought it was you that told me they were NLA. I am just asking you if you need the additional parts to go with the OEM cyl. you found. You obviously know more about it than I do, I was only deferring to your knowledge.
If you want to argue let's think of something totally trivial and petty and wrestle till somebody taps out

like i said you need the kit because the impulse on the 394 is made into the intake hose and on the 395 it has a nipple on the cylinder base for impulse
i did one last summer for a logger buddy and he is like me only wants oem parts inside the saw

 

[Mattyo]

394 cylinder is NLA... so if you want a NEW cylinder, that Dall pointed to, its $139 shipped plus $60 for the intake kit. PLUS you need to figure out an impulse for the carb, which means you either swap the carb (with me ) OR you mod the carb I think.

This is assuming you can use everything else that is on the saw. I'll humbly dissagree with that. But, if you are $250 into parts, plus $139 P&C plus $60 ... new gasket kit, seals, whatever else.... you're still $500 easy into a saw that is falling apart otherwise.

I LOVE these saws... so in the end I think building these saws is great. But if you are concerned about the $$... this one's gonna set ya back more than $500 I think.

 

[Mattyo]

OH, there IS a compatability issue with the carb bases... I forget exactly what it is...but the choke lever is different, and the throttle cable is slightly different for 395. ..and ideally needs a 395 carb base.
