Uh Oh Husqvarna 395

[Beer Gut]

Oh sorry, Jim made a joke about what to do with a “muff”, you know...a whisker biscuit. Sorry to distract from your thread.

Bows now I do well. No whiskers. Ladies either

Wow, Short stroke in them bad boys.

.021 is great on a 395, don’t let the numbers consume you before you put it through some wood. They are strong saws stock, you’re just making it better.

I F'ed up. It's not at .021 I lost .021, hope everyone saw this didn't look back. I can't pull now but should be .030ish

It should pump up to around 185 psi even with .030 squish.

And might I add, nice choice for your first Husqvarna. Meant to say that a while ago.

It was 372 or 395. I keeled there for 20min. Playing with both. Who's next??????

Nope. No aftermarket, no big dogs.

No aftermarket, all OEM, get the kit and sell the big dawgs on the bay for 1/2 the cost of the kit

Posting to vouch that the wrap kit from Baileys is in fact OEM, every last part. I have one on my 394.

He is likely to go even a bit higher if he doesn't grind on the cylinder.

I hoped to hear this. Thank You. This is what makes these sites fun. I'm still up when we wanna get into that muff I ready. Do I try and split it and open or wait for deflector. 288

Adding another deflector is definitely a simpler way to get the job done. Some may disagree, but that’s what I prefer to do.

I thought it was but couldn’t remember for sure. Thanks Joe

So are you saying you could add the extra deflector and not have to worry about cutting out that tube?

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

IIRC the reason I added the second port and deflector ahead of the seam in the muffler was because putting the second port there allows exhaust out without forcing it back through the tube. Been a little while so I'd have to have a second look... But I don't think I would do it that way if I didn't see a benefit from it

My 394 is down at XP_Slinger's house right now... I think he's robbing parts off it for his!

I don’t know what yer talkin bout

I bought a 395 to add to my stable. Mainly because of the recommendations of @mdavlee and Randy. All my other saws are Stihls. Running it against a stock 661, it will spank it every time. It is going to Randy as soon as soon as I can get it to him. It really shines in the 32" plus bar sizes. I have a 24", 36" and 42" for mine

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

394/5 does seem to cross a threshold, doesn't it Dustin. Josh's 288 is a fine saw and very impressive in it's own right. But stepping up one size to our 394s, they seem like there is more than 7cc difference. They have a snarl to them you can FEEL...but in the weight and handling department, the difference is pretty stark to me. The 288 feels closer to a 372 in my hands than the 394.

Should have new comp numbers this afternoon. I have deflector and carb tool on order. I still think this muff needs to be split. For 1 new deflector will be bolted to thin for machine screws. And I ain't gonna try and weld it. 2 if tube is cut away it looks to me if stock port is opened that would be plenty. Thoughts????

Mine has the tube removed and the exit opened, and a much larger deflector replacing the stock one. I'll get pics in a bit. It's plenty

I also got a cheap AM muffler and cut a front exit in it. I would not recommend this for normal cutting. It is very loud and can catch shot on fire, but for playing in small wood it's great.

If you cut the tube and open the stock outlet. You will melt the brake flag in short order. From my past 395 experience.

Have to add material to the stock deflector, or another deflector
