Husky 394/395 thread

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

It looks like you have the legs to be an excellent ported...


nice work on the 394 btw

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.

Hmm. Didn’t realize that. I got a 395 Meteor since the OE piston was not included (bought in a box), so I never was able to compare them.

I’m not sure about the meteor 395, but the couple 395 oem pistons I have here are all much shorter skirt than meteor 394 and centered ring pin vs on sides. 1.2 vs 1.5mm rings as well.

The OEM 395 pistons is 0.040" shorter than the 394 piston. Meteor pistons are the same heights as OEM, I've seen other AM pistons vary.

Is the shorter 395 piston shorter in compression height or pin to skirt?

I maybe might need to pester you for a few things Dustin.

Currently I am down to 3x 394 and a new 395xpg, I sold the one 394 but it found its way back home to me, they are like boomerangs apparently, I probably have all but enough parts to build 2-3 more there, they wouldn't be the prettiest saws, so I just keep them as parts saws for now, till I get time to really build them like i want to. I do have a fresh set of powdered cases to start on one, if I can ever get caught up on porting saws for customers, maybe February.

Just read all 24pgs - good thread, especially since a ported 395 will be added to the arsenal soon.

What do you guys like to do inside the muffler? Cut the baffle out? This is a am muffler, so not worried about hacking it.

I add another deflector right in front of the stock one. I believe that area is outside the baffle/tube

Mine is a single chamber muffin, no baffle of any kind. Dual ports let it exhale.

When in doubt hack it out then lol. I'm good with that action for sure.
