390xp on a 7900 would be interesting

How much trouble to get there?

Lay it out for us. Any base cuts, shim plates, how far off is the bolt pattern, what intake system do you think will feed it and fit the saw?
You design it and I'll build it. Now remembered, when it don't fit or needs more mods you decide what goes where.
First, you need a solid plan so let us know. No rush. Consider all your options before drawing up your plan. Crayon is fine. We like colored paper

I can come up with is the idea... just need the lathe, tools, money and time. Which I’m short on most of those. Lol

Run it down. Build it on paper first. It might not work or it might fall together. I know nothing about 55mm husky saws. I'm sure you can get most of the info here or in a PM. 55x37 might work well. 90cc in a light package. Might need heavy metal slugs. The crank can be lightened at the pin and tack welded.

You guys are gettin to teknickle!

The main obstacle will be getting the 13mm pin piston matched up correctly with a crank made for a 12mm pin.

Rod change would usually be the easy out.

What an idiot, he must be....
I just did the same thing with my flippy cap 371, except I used a step cut(bore cut with a stepped down back cut) since I didn't have anyone to run the tractor, and it didn't piss all over me lol. She's running a bit rich since it was warm out, but cleans up nice in the cut.

That's almost as good as a triplenickle .

 

[chipper1]

I'm old, prefer bolt on mods

Put a "husky" bar on it lol.

I was concerned at 1st falling a tree with a truck that close.

Then I noticed it's a chevy, carry on....

Yeah if the tree did get on it all you would have had to do is start it and the truck would have flexed it off

That was last year.

Mine didn't, but it's still rolling .

Runs well, and now that I got it oiling I can enjoy it a bit, most likely need a time-sert for the recoil/brake.
Ran it in a bunch of cherry last week and she had fun.
