She’s pretty snappy for a big girl. I’m definitely going to have to get the correct decomp valve. The one I put on was for a 365. It only has a pinhole to pass air through. That’s not gonna get it

Looking pretty.

Much nicer shape than mine.

That flywheel side seal might not be deep enough. That seal needs to sit over that crank lip. If you have a caliper you can set the seal about 4mm deep from that lip on the crankcase. Between 4.0 and 4.5 mm is ok.

Any chance you can get a photo of that bad boy on a scale without B&C and fluids?

@Wolverine posted pics before of 17.4 lbs I believe it was, if I’m not mistaken.

The seals can catch you off guard on these for sure. I learned the hard way lol.

Not at all.

Turned out pretty nice. Decals from sugar creek look good. Not as nice as oem, but really finish off the restoration

After I finished off the test cuts, Chris, who operates our knuckle boom, tells me that oak stump I was cutting had concrete in it. Says he destroyed three chains cutting it so the knuckle boom could handle it. I was about 5 inches away from where he hit concrete. I just finished touching up a square filed 36 inch full comp chain. I don’t even want to think about the obscenities I would have........

I am told concrete is a good way to shore up a tree rotting at the trunk. I am also told it isn't We have a tree here, I am not sure what to do about it. It's several hundred years old and has a hole in the trunk. The problem I have is it can take years for concrete to dry.

Nice. You could probably take 1/2 the rakers off. She’s hungry!

After looking at your saw I'm missing a few pieces on the one here.

My saw also has the 395 style filter on a 394.
Husky illiterate but catching up fast.

Everything looks good so far but the worm gear was melted, it needs a plug wire, the carb box rubber divider and something else

What is this weight gallery you speak of?

 

[redlight066]

I know you got the short end of the stick on that deal. But hell, it’s a 30-year-old saw. Hard to find them in really nice condition complete. Just throw a bunch of parts at it....I did. There’s a reason they are legendary. Can’t buy one new, Pre EPA Compliant that is....
