Was a Moe 394, now a Joe 395

[longleaf]

@Onan18 I want to see a comparison with your 2100 too. Mines not as strong as yours but I haven’t used it much since I got Kevin’s 394.

Welp, the snow storn Friday night into today kept me at work longer than I thought. Made a tiny amount of progress on little Joe, but I needed a little sleep and I’ve got alot of ground to clear snow from, so today’s small step forward

Stock Husky 395 piston without pin, rings, or clips.


Here’s where I like aftermarket better. The vent elbow is a known headache inducer when it comes time to put a hose on her, especially with the thicker and more rigid Oregon line for alcohol.


So I just unbolt this mount


Eat me spinach and push, while holding the elbow from behind

 

[Moparmyway]

There we go

Now we gently spin the elbow forward

Route the hose in the general area

Re-install the spring mount

And position the hose to clear the block and tank. These springs are the stiff ones, Little Joe is a goin stumping, and whether it’s part time, once in a while, or everyday; running a 394/5 for stumpin means stiff springs to me. Easy to put the regular springs in if Big Joe preferrs ................. up to him.

I always prefer stiff springs, the soft ones make the saw feel wore out IMO.

@Moparmyway

Did u find wood for some test cuts?

 

[RI Chevy]

Kevin can't cut wood. He works like 35 hours a day. Lol

Havent looked just yet, we're snowbound. Besides, I still have to finish this 394/5 and port the next saw in line, before I need test wood for the head to head stuff.

Harrumph!

 

[Moparmyway]

I'ma gunna try this again .................

No snow forecasted for this weekend
No major works on the calendar at work

I SHOULD be able to make some significant progress on this 394/5 this weekend.
I'm getting excited to see this thing run, as its basically a brand new saw, only old stuff is the case halves and the covers. Everything else is new OEM !

Next saw is brand new too, so apples to apples for the head to head stuff !!

Couldn’t agree more.

Something doesn’t belong in the picture below. Awaiting your decision Big Joe

 

[Moparmyway]

Need 2 long and 2 short 1/4-20 bolts for the 395 cylinder

The long ones go on the intake side

This is where I get excited

 

[Moparmyway]

These next two pictures made me stop and think about a few things

I really like where this ended up. I was hoping for 80 intake, I’ll run her at 81 and see how she likes it

 

[XP_Slinger]

That saw is gonna pull a long bar like an animal. Nice numbers Kevin. What ya thinking on those cylinder extension pics? Jonsered 930 mod to the lower transfers? Or the clearance between cylinder and crank case?
