All you T!

I'm out

*f-word I was just trying to drive up the price

 

[Dolmar Junkie]

wasnt towards you matt i was just pointing out new piston /cylinder kit conversion kit and bearings and seals be about 300 bucks but i say rebuild it

Yes if you refer back to my earlier imaginary invoice, you will note that I allowed $250-300 for the parts you mentioned plus gaskets with bearings ,seals and gaskets being sourced from the house of hu flung dung,with p and c being OEM and since I only had a link for after market conv. kit $60 that is what I included in my earlier estimate, your desire for OEM conv.kit may add to the total, with same being said for other items previously listed... Thanks for shopping Matt Mart

I traded Strapon a good used 394 cylinder for 2 carbs. When I got the carbs, one was new AM, one was used oem. Neither had gaskets or diaphragms

 

[dall]

Shhh, you shouldn't have said that in here their liable to riot, this has been a somewhat contentious thread, due to Dallas being on his period and Mattyo trying to take over the world one saw at a time! Nobody gets out alive....

Morning gents, a lot of good stuff flying around here, I just got caught up here.

Yall are making it difficult to make a decision on this thing.

If I went with an am p and c that would give me plenty of room for french-ups

I thought oem bearings were cheap.

If I was gonna turn this into a work saw I would absolutely go with an oem p and c. But now I'm not sure. If I rebuild It with a good oem bottom end and China top parts then I can experiment with it and when I'm ready I'll find a good oem p and c.

I'm not worried about the money necessarily but it would be nice to know I could make most of my money back if I had to.....

Also @beaglebriar I absolutely appreciate the offer but if it does get rebuilt it will be my first case split so I would like to do it for experience purposes.

If you do an AM P&C ...its ONLY available as 395 style...therefore you'd need the adapter kit $60. so, I dunno if going AM for the P&C would save you much money anyway

plenty of guys here are willing to help @beaglebriar @Stump Shot know more about huskies than i do but for the extra on the piston cylinder kit id go with the oem it will help if you ever have it ported or for resale

Agreed

One thing I haven't even looked at is the big end rod bearing.....

If it's toast like the mains then I'm absolutely done
