Any Chinese chainsaw and chinese parts discussion

[Maintenance Chief]

Maintenance Chief:
Did you do any other mods to your 039/ popup build?
Probably a muffler mod.
Anything else?

Yes muffler mod, I would do that on even a stocker.

Wow, that is cheap. Walt gave me one of those in blue. Call it the Blu88. Hot some time on it with no issues. Actually feels pretty solid.

 

[Spike60]

Ran this baby again this morning; feels like a real saw. Actually quite impressed.

 

[Spike60]

Other thing for me is that she matches my truck. So. I suppose I have to get myself a blue 372 now, right? And a 272?

I have like 3 or 4 288s or I'd buy one.
Later on I might try one against a stock 288
And I have a complete topend carb, cylinder kit,muffler off a crushed 288

Don't you have any light weight bar's
It really changes the feel on those.

I guess today Husqvarna announced the end of production of the 395s
And the
390s nobody cares about.

 

[Spike60]

Not a bad idea. Have a 30" Tsumura that would be nice on that saw.

With the 585 and 592, there's no reason for the 90 and 95. 395 chassis is ancient if you go back to the 394.

 

[Spike60]

Nice size pipe gives this saw a mean bark. Far better than the pencil size outlet on their 372"s.

 

[qurotro]

Yea that larger than OE pipe gives it a crispy sound.

Two for the price of one. You take second for parts.

When will they sell in Europe ?

I reported your truck stolen bob

What are the best Chinese big saws these days? Preassembled FT? The blue ones? Kit? Another Chinese brand?

I can never trust the quality of that stuff with how they leave magnesium and aluminum chips in the oil pump and bearings, crooked seals, poor fitting parts. I wonder if they have improved over the years? Are the 395 cylinders any better? Originally the piston was quite a loose fit.

My logger cousin has two years on a blue holzfforma 660
And he said when he bought it if it quits he'd bury it in the woods
Well it's still on his truck
And I'm talking high hour count cutting timber
He's getting a 395 soon he said.
I haven't run any of the neotec stuff I don't know if it's the same as holzfforma

I’ve sold quite a few this year and the only one to give me fits was a 660 running a mill. That’s hard on any saw but I had it set too lean the first time and the 2nd time. I put the 3rd top end on a few weeks ago and went another 1/4 turn out on H and it’s doing fine. And it’s a big bore pop up. Fortunately it’s very inexpensive to learn things like that with these saws. A top end kit is under $25.

I bet that saw actually measures 52cc.

Reading the ad, they can't make up their mind as to was the saw is. In the description part way down the page they drop 10cc's off and add 0.8hp

Displacement:58CC
Power: 3.2kw
Horsepower: 4.4 hp

from top of page
Product letter rated power: 5.0kw/3.6hp. Engine Specifications: 68cc

I like reading the descriptions, lately it seems many times they have multiple descriptions in the same ad page. Hahaha
