Bump for some action.

I think it's getting a two-piece head, pipe, and some sort of massive Methanol-breathing carburetor on it.

That’s a good was to fix a lower compression! Lol

Saw arrived back as clean as a brand new saw and buckled up tight and right, JJ did a fantastic job. Took me awhile to get it in some poplar but eventually i did, its a spunky saw but not quite flashy enough to take to the Moobsy build off. I sent it off to my local saw scientist for some creative above and beyond workings to give it that extra little bit to hopefully let me run down Reilly this year in Tennessee

Looking forward to seeing it after it's special treatment for sure.

This is an amazing thread, thanks for sharing all your hard earned nuggets of knowledge with us.

These are NOS early 394 cases. The front clutch side rubber bumper is not machined all the way thru. Originally I thought that it's just paint so I hit it a few times with a punch and hammer and it's metal under the paint. Just wondering is you or anyone else had seen this before or is this a case of legendary Husky quality control.

It might not have been machined all the way out for whatever reason. The 394 motor units were used in a lot of different applications in Europe - Logosol mills, winches, I even saw
a commercial water pump built in Finland with a 394 motor. So maybe your case half was destined for one of those applications?

Thanks, I was hoping it had to be a reason they were like that.

Great build JJ. Good collaberation by all!
