MMWS 395XP retune

[T.Roller]

I had this saw ported by Randy about 4 years ago and other than in small wood with a short bar I had it tuned to around 12, 500 with it 4 stroking heavily. This saw was already nasty after he got done with it with "higher than usual" compression that I asked for. She's pushing around 220-225. Today I sharpened her up and brushed the dust off her ( 16.6 hours on works meter since new) and thought I'd tune and run it. Found it still four strokes good at 13, 500 and clears up nice in the wood, let me tell you its like I was running this 5 speed in 4th the whole time. I blame it on nerves. Just thought I'd post a thread about it since I haven't posted one on OEP yet.

haha will do! I know the rules. May take a day or so but ill get one. I know I ran it at wiggs gtg a few years ago with a 28" buried and a 9 pin. It pulled nasty till the chain derailed which I knew was bound to happen.

That's probably close to the sweet spot for using a long bar. Probably still 4 stroke close to 14.5 though...

I'm sure haha, with a short bar I may lean it back out and see how it sounds.

Well the rewind doesnt like the compression, and I'm lazy.

Yeah they don't like to be used a lot with high compression.

 

[T.Roller]

I busted the pawls from starting it without the decomp so I retired that idea. @mdavlee what do you know about saws anyways you can't even make a good chain
