Big bore and stroked Husky 395 build.

[srcarr52]

Then again, maybe I should just buy a 394/395 and leave the 288 alone...

All are great saws. I suggest that you own them all in multiples.

Guy was wanting $500 obo for a real nice one with a nice 32” bar and new chain included. I called today and it was sold already.

I finally had time to look at the BB stroker again. I found that the timing was around 45 degrees (yes a whole two fins) retarded from where it should be. So I pulled the flywheel and put it where I thought it should be, started it and it had great throttle response but 5 blips later it was back to being a dog. Checked the timing and it had rotated back a whole two fins again.

So I put a sharpie mark on the flywheel to see where it was making contact with the crankshaft taper and it wan't pretty. Only contact on the inside 1/8" or so.


After spinning it with lapping compound I got a more even removal of sharpie mark.


Still the flywheel wouldn't stay put, it only rotated back one fin this time though.

You'll get it squared away.

Yeah, thats a familiar story! Lol

Yup, you're not the only one with problems.

I finally cut a keyway into the crank and flywheel and then heated the flywheel before bolting it down. We'll see if that holds it now!

Super cool thread. You are a talented guy mr Carr

Wondering if you ever got a chance to measure?

I'm going to take some measurements and see if a Jonsered 2095 jug would work better on a 288 case. They're lower and shorter than a 394 jug and might be a closer match to a 288.

Wondering if you ever got a chance to measure?

I just did - thanks for the reminder.

According to my trusty "Smokey Bear" ruler, the inside of the 2094 jug from squish band to the bottom of the flange is 3 & 5/16" (Flange is 3/8").

Same measurement for the 394 jug is 3 & 7/16", but the flange is shorter on the 394 jug - only 3/16".

So from the squish band to the base of the jug on the 2094 looks to be around 2 & 15/16", and 394 is 3 & 1/4".

Inside of a 385 jug from squish band to base looks to be about 2 & 5/8", so the 2094 jug is a lot closer in terms of dimensions.
Timing might be a different story since the 385 has a 37mm stroke and the 2094/394 are both 38mm.

Thanks Jacob I have just been curious about how to use that chasis in a different way

 

[srcarr52]

I think I'll consider this thing fixed.
