What a surprise Sondre.

Lower your expectations.

His saws have a problem at every single turn. He makes no attempt to disclose them or make any repairs. Just enough to get it out the door and make cash.

Those welding jobs ain't that terrible. And the stripped holes can be helicoiled or timeserted.
Expectations lowered! Lol. I'm not surprised anymore, honestly. Not after seeing all the threads.
Yeah, it's all about a quick buck for him. That'll catch up to him in the end, though. All that needs to happen is for him to burn the wrong guy just once.

Alright boys, I'm not sure if there's any point in having the case on the 395 welded up. I got it ready tonight so I can head down to Dan's @paragonbuilder tomorrow morning before work, so he can help me split the case. The crack that Shaun @srcarr52 has so kindly offered to weld up is on the pto side.
Once I got the flywheel side apart, I realized it's got it's quirks too. It's got a piece broken off, and a couple of stripped out bolt holes to boot. I'm thinking I should just lick my wounds at this point and look for another case for it. I'd hate to see so many good guys help me out, and spend lots of time and effort on this saw, and then I go and reassemble it with *s-wordty parts.

If you can't find another case just send that one to me. I'll split it and fix both side and reassemble it for you.

Wow! That's all I can say Shaun! That's very generous of you!
If I can't find one, I'll take you up on your offer.

It looks like the 395 is getting new cases. @Frank bierce and I have a deal on the cases he posted earlier in this thread.

Monday I'm going up to see my Husky dealer and order new bearings and seals, wrist pin bearing and clips, and a gasket set. Might as well do it right.

Without turning all sappy and all, I can't think of a better place and better guys to share my interest with. The generosity and willingness to help is beyond what I would have ever expected. I'm usually very stubborn about getting help, not to mention asking for it. I'm on my own with pretty much everything I do. I'll be the first to help anyone I can, but the last to ask for it. A lot of the guys here seems to be of the same mindset, so when an arm is reached out to me, I'll accept the help and and shove pride aside.

I guess he is still doing "business" as we had a PM discussion in upgrading my Dolmar 6400 to a 7910 on AS just last month.

I thought he was banned and had his PMs disabled?
He is still doing business.

Kevin @Moparmyway made some headway on the 6100 today.
When he measured the squish it turned out the chamber was off 0.004 from side to side. To quote him: " The chamber is very wavy".
He had to use a little ingenuity to get it set up in the lathe.
He also said the base Al @drf256 did was perfect, and made it possible to get the jug set up properly on the lathe.
