This saw is a spare that I will never use, I got it seized and soaked it for 4 days breaking it free. Was a little rough at first but the bottom end has smoothed out and is tight. I got some pics of some repairs I did to get it to the way it is. These are after I had already broke it free and ran a bunch of fuel through it. You will see in the pics the dawg bolts are 6mm instead of 5. It had no dawgs on it when i got it and the holes had already been tapped by someone in the past so I just drilled the spike to take the larger bolt.
Starting with the oiler which had seized and cooked the worm gear. I have a bunch of spare parts on hand so in goes used oiler and worm gear.

Nubs on worm gear installed are worn but functional. It's all I had handy.

Little bit of silicone grease on the worm gear and installed

Little bit of moly for the drum bearing.

Here's a pic of the clutch cover I had for it. Cracked but it works

No damage on the recoil side except a chipped tooth on the pulley. This isn't even noticed as the pulley grabs both pawls at same time. Again, what I had for it.

I thought I got more pics of the muffler removal. One screw was round so I drilled the head off the get it off. After that the stud turned out easy. Here's the only hole in the muffler. I could have zapped it closed but the welders put away so another day.

After drilling the head off the old bolt a piece of the head was still stuck in the muffler and difficult to remove. Worked out perfect cause now I don't have to cut the bolt I have for it lol

I will edit any screw ups on the computer in a few here. I'm not quite sure what to ask for it yet but I will think about it and price it this evening.
 
ad looks ok. i did clean it up a bit as i went but didn't have a whole lot of time for it and the dirt don't hurt it. i will do more to it as time goes but the price will be changed as improvements are made. i don't expect it to last that long though. i'd pull the top end if i was gonna port it but i don't have time to port it right now. saw has been running rich to free it up but other then that no oil was added to the cylinder for that compression test. i just checked and it does have it's factory base gasket. i doubt it's ever even been apart. i haven't checked the squish but they usually have room for a gasket delete. coil is the stock 13k coil as well.
 
i forgot to mention, the bottom end issues with these saws are that the crank spins in the PTO main bearing. this saw is tight and inner race of bearings spins with the crank. case says 05 which was the year of the bearing update. if it hasn't spun yet i'm sure it won't lol. how's $475 shipped. any other questions ask away. pressure washer **** the bed this year so i figured i'd replace it by selling a saw i don't really need.
 
i would take a cc specialties right angle hand piece +cash for this saw as well. the saw itself was more left as a good running fixer upper for the next owner. i fixed the issues many would have issues repairing themselves. i figured my lack of time to really give the saw a wash would benefit someone else who likes to do that sorta thing by getting into a big husky for not much money. i could jewel it up. scrub down, decal kit, and a better clutch cover would have this thing looking slick. best for someone who will have the one saw and take care of it. i got 9 390's so this saw will never see any cosmetic work from me. front of the case has 98% of it's paint yet! i got 2015's with hardly any paint left!! lol the screws are rusty, AV springs are rusty, etc.... needs some beauty work and is worth it. at $475 shipped i'll clear $400 which is pretty dang reasonable for a modern 85cc saw. only thing missing is the handle grips which are cheap from the dealer. i might have an old set i can put in there though.
 
bump, i thought about the price and for any less i would have to keep it. $450 shipped gets a guy in a big husky for not much money.
 
pulled this listing cause i decided to bin the saw for parts. stole a few parts from it but found the stuff to make it mostly complete. carb is not the one that was on it so will need to be gone over and tuned. only parts it needs is the air injection tube, kill switch wire, and air deflector under the starter. has one chipped tooth on the recoil pulley but still works. i have spare parts to spare parts that i'll likely never need so getting rid of some stuff. i started it on that carb but it runs lean on the low speed, likely needs a rebuild but i didn't try tune it either. i don't have the time for it and don't need the parts so selling as a project for someone. make me an offer.
 
what's shipping like to 31021 and do you have a lot of 385-390 parts?
 
i list my prices as shipped cause i don't have the time to be checking shipping, it also requires boxing it up to get an exact amount. usually between $70-$90 depending on saw. i do have parts. just not an air deflector or air injection tube lol
