Probably like a 7pin better.
Looks good
True but if I'm not making videos I'll probably be cutting stuff that big with the 394.
I put a 25" bar on it and that's probably all I'll really cut with it. But maybe I'll try it with a 7 pin and 32" for fun!!

Dan, had 8 pin on 2 of em, but put 7 pin back on both. The 8 pin does great in "controlled" conditions, but I prefer the additional torque of the 7 pin for working with it, and I really don't think it gives up any speed in cutting. It will always depend on the type and size of the wood, but most tests recommend going to 7 pin for saws under 90 cc (there are exceptions for racing, etc). If you were running a 20" bar, the 8 pin may be more suitable.

Wish I could be there tomorrow, but have a few trees to take down and wood to split!

Good point Mike! I think I'll do some back to back cutting, with 7&8 pins just for kicks. I may prefer the 7 myself for everyday cutting...

Kevin pointed this out to me Tuesday while he was here. If the saw is lean, after a long cut it seems to do a little surge when you pull out of the cut.
Its a fine line of tuning the low after the long cut, then touching up the high

Here it is in a better piece of wood. That other piece just wanted to bind up.
25" bar buried in oak.

Have you checked compression?
I'm curious what it is at your elevation.

Hopefully it's under 225

Dan,

Sorry for the late request, but if you have a ported 460 & a dyno it would be great to see difference in timing at stock, 20/1000 and 30/1000.

Thanks, and good luck and have fun.
