Duce's 390xp!

I like how your approaching this one with longevity in mind. A ported saw could last a long time if done right. I'd say your on the right track

Op I wanna add one thing before I continue. It's a very good idea to clearness where the intake boot sits in the cases! Forgot to take a pic of that as well. Nothing critical here just lower it a little so the intake boot clears nicely!

Thank you! You have to keep in mind the saws use. IMHO! You can be more agressive with a wood cutters saw and they will see a long life of use out of it.

A milling saw well you know where I'm going with this.

And as a tree service saw it will be ran in the heat of the summer for a lot longer runs that what an average wood cutter subjects them too! So hince the little lower comp as we know comp builds heat faster!

Now for this build I really like to talk the saw over with my customers and try and figure out what's best for them. He will be using this as a tree service saw running anywhere from a 24-36" bar. O ya!!!! Let's see if we can being a smile to his face! So for this saw it's throttled back just a hair and I will try to show ya as we go threw the build what I mean.

Is it a bucking saw? Ok my opinion
A tolotsen sled carb. A pipe for added performance and to draw in more customers cause of the unique chime.
And a chrome footprint gas trigger

Here's my hold up. I ran out of fuel line as I'm replacing all of them but I didn't catch the muffler being cracked. Bent dosnt bother me but cracked is unacceptable for a saw that I sold. So I will grab some fuel line and new starter rope tomorrow but I had to order a new muffler. That's gonna drive @Duce nuts knowing I'm this close! Lol.

 

[Duce]

Well Dammit I'm hoping others will join in here. I like group build threads and discussions. I always learn from them!

Where is Randy? I know nothing, but it's looking good!

 

[Deets066]

I do have the saw this far back together but here's where it gets sketchy! I had a jack up! Lol. Ya'll are gonna laugh at me! View attachment 17246

And....

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

Know for the timing! I won't get super agressive here either. I will advance it but I'm gonna keep it to around 5°. And while I don't have any 346xp coils to throw on this saw as that seems to be theme prefer coil I do have a AM unlimited. So I will put that on and throw the factory coil in the box for Mr Duce in case the AM one flops out early.

Randys is knee deep, hand throbbing deep in a pile of Solos right now! I'm sure he will be along shortly!

Damn nice work. Hope you're gonna put up a video after it's all buttoned up.

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

And....

I need a muffler! Lol. I just ordered one but not helpful to me right now!

 

[Duce]

As I said, I can wait. Did you ship it yet? Thanks!

Looks like Deets is keeping an eye on you! lol.

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

Absolutely I will!

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

Well I can. I can wrap it up tomorrow. I'll just cut the whole front of the old muffler off and call it good!

You don't value your customers ears anywhere in a 1 mile vesenity do you?

I wouldn't mind having a 681

Good luck. I've been on the look out for a shelf queen for awhile. I think you would like these 665 hybrids!

I will shut up and let you do your fine work!! I see chainsaw envy coming to Roscommon, MI. No Rush at all, will enjoy watching. Thanks

I will agree with this. And some of the aftermarket ones are built better!
