Husky 394/395 thread

[huskyboy]

It took about 10 solid tanks for it to break in the meteor piston and cabers. They are harder to wear in than oem rings.

I’m not stuck to it, I can bring it to Tennessee if you need another.

I’ll be honest, I’m broke after buying 4 saws in three weeks. The Saw fund is pretty much empty. I sure appreciate the offer though! I’ve been out of the saw scene for a while, but it’s just hard to completely stay quit. I found some rare deals for my area and couldn’t pass them up. I always seem to fall off the wagon and start lurking Facebook marketplace. Used to be Craigslist. Anyhow thanks again for the offer.

What’d you buy? I need to fund a 371k project, I can’t fall off the wagon.... never got on it.

@Fruecrue if you are running a base gasket, check squish. Most of the time they are very loose. I think mine was 49. A base gasket delete and a muff mod really produces good gains. Also, I tried out a shyknees coil and it felt like a 20% reduction in power while it was on the saw.

Yeah, but you got the 394 thats been souped up now!!!

 

[huskyboy]

Agreed, my squish was over .050, it had a base gasket in it at the time of my video. I threw it out (.026 squish after), shaved the intake skirt of the piston, muffler mod and .020 timing advance. It responded well.

You know all about it! How’s its twin doin? Mine took a few tanks to properly break in but it’s an animal now! I’d love to put it on a dyno. Wondering if it has 10 horses.

Squish now is .050”, I’ll port it if it hangs around long enough.

This is after I messed with it with a 8 tooth in oak

Way more betterer.

I think I took 1mm off the intake skirt (thickness of base gasket included). The 395 piston skirt is even shorter. I was gonna try raise ex 1mm too but decided to be conservative. Didn’t even widen ports or anything.

My 394 has been tampered with by myself and Shaun Carr (his work being the most extensive obviously). It pulls 36" round ground skip with 8-pin fully buried in hard maple with authority. Ask Josh

Check and make sure you are getting full throttle too. When I first got my 394 together I found out I had to squeeze the throttle ridiculously hard to get the last 1/8 throttle due to a worn throttle cable end that was causing the cable to bind that last little bit. New cable and what a difference it made in the cut!

And I agree, don't kick that 394 to the curb till you at least dump the base gasket. That bump on compression really helps mantain RPM in the cut with big wood. Ifin ya REALLY want to have some fun, send that cylinder to Mr. Carr or Rattler Mike...you won't be disappointed! Just to give you an idea, my 394 exhaust is at 98 deg and still pulls 210psi.

@RIDE-RED 350r your killing my chances of getting another 394 here. LMAO

Lol!! Sorry neighbor!

 

[dustinwilt68]

Its ok, #4 is waiting on me in TN already, should have enough to bud a few more here.

All stock saws will feel slow after you run a well ported saw. Especially a ported 394/5.

They don’t really need any more intake duration. I keep it as short as possible to keep the crankcase compression. A touch more exhaust duration and a little tickle on the transfers and they come alive.

I’ll have to try one that way some day
