390xp Project

[juttree]

Your project is looking great. Clean em well before you work on them is the way to go.

Thank you, it's not the best match with the old tank and New paint but I think it will look ok.

I believe the 372 muffler should bolt right on. It's just not as heavy duty.

There is a gap because of the spacer but I think I can make it work.

How's she coming?

Just about done. I should be firing it up today, not sure if I can make it to the shop to make some cuts though. My daughter DEMANDS a lot of my time, 4yrs old is a heck of an age. I'll post videos (with the help of my wife of course), as soon as I'm able.

Here's a couple more pictures of the progression before the final pics.

Wow, what a transformation!

I made a video of the start up but I have to get my wife to move it from YouTube to here after my daughter's dance class.

Wow that was fast, thank you. It has a limited coil on it now but i'll put an unlimited 372 coil on it after I do some work to it.

Thanks, in the wood will be the real test. I have a feeling I'm gonna really like this saw, especially after a little work over. When I make some cuts I'll video it.

Very nice thread. Lots of good advice and help, and kudos for the good work on the thread and the saw project. Looks like you have a very nice saw.

Thank you, it's hard to believe that those are all the same covers except for the clutch cover. New stickers and elbow grease goes a long way.

I made a few cuts today. Now if I can get Brads help moving the video over that would be great.
The cuts were made in 33" red oak with a 25" Stihl ES bar, 72LGX chain, and 3/8 7t rim. I need to set a log up to make complete cuts but I didn't feel like firing up the machine today (too muddy and crappy out). I put heavy pressure on the third cut which the saw didn't really love, YET.

Thank you, now I just have to look up URL and copy and paste to find out how it works. I'm a real moron with computers.
