Was a Moe 394, now a Joe 395

[XP_Slinger]

That didn’t take long !

She’s weighted and larger surface area, chances are big Joe wont ever need to change out the fuel line or filter if he runs e-free, AV gas, or VP.

I like a little insurance on my ported +90cc saw fuel filters, and the 3120 filters fit the bill for all of my concerns.

Great tip Kevin. Never gave the filter in my 394 much thought, just replaced it and moved on. Saw is coming along nicely bud

 

[XP_Slinger]

That fuel filter looks big enough to run in a Quadrajet!

Sure does! Lol!

Big Joe likes OEM, and so do I !!

Wish I had waited one more day to put my fuel line in. I could slide it in the old tank but like to have never got it in the new one. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I started to ask you if you had any tricks but figured I have asked you enough questions I’d just figure it out. Lol

Jake, never don’t ask, I’ll allways answer questions, and so will most everyone else that works on lots of these things here at OPE.

Please, moving forward, ask away

Been waiting for this thing to arrive !!

More stuff to add to the 394/5 tub-of-gold


BUT,
This here one was the most important item in that box for our purposes here. No shortcutting on Little Joe !!!

Also, looks like I’m going to have most of my weekend in tact, which means that I’ll have plenty of play time in the barn, early morning Saturday and Sunday. I’m hoping that I can get the porting finished and the cylinder bolted before the end of my Saturday, then I’ll be able to (if all goes well) wrap her up and get in some test cuts on Sunday !!

Big Joe, black or red handle inserts ?
And do you want her sent right away, or mayhaps she can hang around here a smidge longer, my next project has an owner that has inquired about having a little East Coast 661 vs Little Joe showdown ............ up to you bud !!

The Black inserts please sir, and it can hang around as long as you like. I would love to see a 661 vs. 395 shoot out.

Full wrap or standard 1/2 ?

Very cool

I’m thinking of two very different comparisons.......... going to have to turn both saws oilers to max for the big one

 

[XP_Slinger]

The suspense is killing me, very much looking forward to the video Kevin. Let em’ Eat!!!!!

Half wrap please, will be used for stumping semi regularly.

What piston did you use in this one? Make sure that 661 has a 8 pin 404 with a 42” lol. Won’t to see if it has the 395 nuts.

Knowing how Big Joe is ........Little Joe is probably going to be getting the Husky 395 piston


60" with 8 tooth 404, if I can get the wood together

 

[Backtroller]

Man, I’m just hoping that it hangs with the 395 through a 36” 404.

 

[Backtroller]

And I thought Al was crazy stress testing his mofo 026s with a 36”.......

I’m also hoping to compare them with a small 375 setup

It’s amazing sometimes how cut times won’t show the full capabilities. It’s still fun to compare saws though and it does give a glimpse into there capabilities. Here’s a scenario... I’ve ran the 7900 against the 372 and they both cut about the same speed with 8 pin and 28” bar in pine. However bucking hardwood logs on the landing with 24” bars the 7900 and 390xp destroy the 372. You can use the tip of the bar bucking when the log starts to pinch more easily (hard to explain but you experienced guys will understand what I’m saying). As soon as the chain starts to get a little dull from the muddy logs, the other two will still cut half decent till it gets real dull. The 372 can still run a 24 or 28 in hardwood but youll be wanting to keep that chain close to razor sharp all the time for max performance. I thought this was interesting how some saws can beat or hang with others in certain situations, but not in others. I guess use the tool for the job.
