So my running issue was a loose coil pickup *eyeroll*
Still need to replace some little stuff, but it runs.

Hung the 42” that showed up from Madsen’s on it tonight.

Any thoughts about that erosion around the coil?
Is electricity leakage a thing?
Thanks

Think the coil is leaking spark, and should it be replaced?

Pics are out of order...

Noticed a while back it was weeping fuel while milling. Explains the mess at the last tear down and the one again now.

Getting it ready to send to @huskihl, going to weld the cracks. Hasn't been used much, mostly milling. Looks like I picked up some mag rot. Ground it out a bit, will treat and fill.

Dirty...it leaves a puddle of bar oil when parked, it's all over.

Muffler needs some love too. It was a retired PNW logger saw. Note the screw hiding...

While back I loaned it to the guy who loans me his lift to cut some big stuff. He was the one who found the coil loose...but didn't find the screw hiding behind the muffler. Don't loan your stuff out...

That's clean. You never owned a dirty one then.

I like to say there's dirty, then there's McCulloch dirty. Until you have had to chisel out sawdust just to see where the coil/cylinder is, you haven't seen a dirty saw.
Every pull a Stihl clutch cover only to see an impression of it still there? lol
Or the Husky air shroud in print lol
Yes, there is a coil under there.

I milled the piss out of mine. Bad big end bearings after 2 years of weekend use.
I used 32:1 in the beginning then 40:1 near the time I started hearing the “clanking”. The saw was well taken care of, I enjoyed maintaining it.. bad luck of the draw I guess.

So 395s just normally puke and blow it all over themselves, or should I be looking for a source of the gleek?

Well ya. It’s a good indication that your oiler is working well on the clutch side. I can see the oil bleeding out of the clutch cover covered in sawdust.

In reality here if your looking for a problem without doing a leak down test, those kinds of results will vary.
My 395 had the flywheel side oil seal pushed in just a little too far. It passed the leak down test but it was showing signs of rubbing on the bearing.

I saw some posts by grande dog indicating the vent tube should be in the tank pointed as high as possible. I suspect that might be the leak. Will check...tomorrow, I left it at work.

I'mma be railroaded outta town for this, but Huskys piss oil. Lots and lots of oil. Running or not, they leave puddles. I test ran a 2100 for 2-3 minutes on the ground fiddling with the tune and my dad asked if the resulting oil slick was from an oil jug spilling. My Stihls don't really leak oil, and my Macs don't leak oil unless left on the FW side or upside down, but the Huskys 'round here leak lots of oil. Your saw might just leak oil.
Or the Husky air shroud in print lol
Yep, I've seen that before.

One of these days I'll post up a pic of my well-oiled winch bumper that lived under Huskys for 2-3 years. It had an oil film ~1/16 of an inch thick on it when I dragged it out to put it on a truck.

Pointed at the left corner above the oil cap is best. That saw has more concerning issues than a oil leak that I can see by eye though… That thing looks like it was whooped by whoever owned it before. I’d split the case and rebuild her. Just my opinion.

thanks for the tip.


On the uglies, I think she picked up those scars as a PNW logger saw. I got it off eBay years ago. I certainly don’t bang my stuff around like that.

If you go back in the thread (it’s an old thread) you can see that a saw shop rebuilt it a few years but not too many tanks ago because my guys burned it up. Then it sat, they went thru the carb, and then later yet I went thru and checked it over, leak test, etc. a winter or two ago, and have only run it much this last winter milling a few logs. So I think the bearings and seals are GTG, just need to fix these cracks etc. if it was to be a nice saw, cases would be in order, but it’s gonna be ScarFace.
