592XP info and a surprise

nevermind you answered before i asked

That 592 sure seems to hold RPM well. I want to see what happens when it has two more feet of bar on it, though. That was always where a 395 walked away from anything around its displacement. Not that it was surprising, it was the spiritual successor to the 2100, which was a special saw to run long bars on by its reputation across the west coast.

The oiler is going to be the issue there. It has the power to pull it, but I just don’t see it oiling much more than 36” in hardwood. I don’t have any softwood that size but I would guess it would cut a 36 inch pine in about half the time. It may oil fine in softer wood

i would think that the 395 would have an advantage just because it a bigger saw. are they both ported?

Yes both are ported

Not sure if this us a dumb question or not, but can a 395 oiler be fitted to the 592?

Yes both are ported

how is the fuel usage 592 vs 395

Yes both are ported

Saturday can't come soon enough.

Thin smear of grease around the sealing edge, wont hurt anything and will immediately fix your problem.

Thank you for the input I’m gonna try the grease

The guy does great work. But I just don't understand a 90cc saw running a 20" bar. We have guys here in USA running 20-24" bars on 50-60cc saws. Just me...

Good point I’ve always said the same thing lotta extra weight for a 20 inch bar

There’s a video on YouTube again please forgive me because I do not know how to post videos the guy Richard I’m gonna mess up his last name flag?
Who ran a 592 with a 44 inch bar and 404 chain and a nice big piece of wood and it seem to do nice.
No I don’t know if the Saul was porters or if it was just a standard stock saw so please forgive me

@redlight066 I think is his screen name. I can't find the video. If you are watching the video, just click on upper right hand side (the three dots) or go to the top and click share video or copy link. Then paste it in here.

Sounds like you’ll have to port the oiler next. The oil tank certainly has plenty of capacity.

I was just going to ask if the oiler is mod-able, similar to the 3 series pumps. Not that I'm going to get one any time soon.

I didn’t look, but I don’t believe so. 592 would be more similar to the 572

I didn’t test that, but being a strato saw, the 592 should be considerably better

The 395 uses an outboard clutch, so the pump is driven off the end of the drum to a gear. The 592 has an inbord clutch so it's driven of a pinion that the outer radius of the drum druves, like most every inboard clutch saw.

So it's sounding like the oil output is a bit disappointing, I found the same with the 572, in dry Ash it would struggle to oil a 24" B&C. But than again maybe we just like seeing more oil than what's actually truly necessary.[emoji848]

That could be. And the bar oil that I’ve been using is plenty thick as well. But I would think after a couple of minutes of straight cutting that it would be thinned out. Maybe it’s still too thick. Idk

I don't think so. I modded an asian 660 pump and that thing runs out of chain oil faster than fuel on that 660 gas pig. I suspect 372 can do this as well, the pump is sooo simple, just grind the slop steeper to gain more stroke .

I'm sure that would be totally possible, I did my 7900 the same way, increase the angle on the piston and you should be good to go.

Yeah as soon as you get heat in it the oil always gets very thin.
