Tearing down my JMSSAWS, one by one...

[SOS Ridgerider]

The last saw is on the chopping block. The 395. I'm going to go through this one as thoroughly as I can, as I know nothing more than what he told me about it.

I'm waiting to hear from @srcarr52 before I post any pics of the p/c. It was his saw to begin with, and I respect him, so it's his call.

Go for it! Marking look correct on the cylinder.

Btw that's not the muffler I sent it out with and there was no messed up bolts or threads.

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

Am I missing a bolt, in add to the one that's way too long?
Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

I think he was geeking out with an impact.

Gotcha. Thanks Shaun. Pics are coming.

Not really. Some have limiters with rubber on them there.....but not all.

Piston:


The only thing I can see really quickly is this little guy, which is perfectly smooth.

There are 2 locations for the limit pin/screws on the 395 case. They are usually in the upper location on both sides.

Hard to tell from the picture but under the exhaust port it sorta looks like the plating is peeling. I hope I'm wrong

Piston is my handywork, clips are not what I would have used. Looks like it's due for a new piston anyway.
Cylinder looks untouched from when it left except for he wear under the exhaust port.

It looks more like wear to me, but I can be wrong. I trust you guys when it comes to this stuff. It's pretty smooth, though.

Thanks. I'll get a new piston, bearing and clips before it goes together again. Do you have an opinion on the wear?

Here's the crack in the bottom of the 395 case. This is when he told me there are no perfect cases for these saws. It's not in a place where there is any stress, so unless someone tells me differently, I'll just run it.

 

[srcarr52]

I'd get a new piston. I'm happy to doctor up one for you if you'd like.
This saw was partially scored by the owner before jason. He couldn't tune a carburetor. I cleaned it and sent it back to him. It looks like it's had plenty of runtime since then.

That would be fantastic. This saw does run very well, and I like it a lot.
I'll get a piston and send your way. Oem or meteor?

395 muffler

Wtf is this red crap? It actually made me chuckle. Looks like Coco the monkey was here finger painting. Lol

The first couple of things I noticed is that there is a handlebar screw, meant to thread into plastic, used to hold the top cover on. So, that hole is farked...
The other thing is that the screw holes for the handlebar in th tank are stripped. They just spin, but stay in there. I actually approached J about it when I got the saw, and he said he didn't know that, and that they didn't need to be tight anyways, as long as they kept the handlebar in place...View attachment 85468 View attachment 85467

they don't need to be tight ??
