Calling all 394 modders!!

[caddguy]

Just bought a 394XP from mdavlee. She's a stock saw but I would like to mod the muff to begin with. Anyone know where to get the 288 deflectors from for the extra port?
Where do I start for porting the jug and piston? I haven't found a thread yet specific to the 394....

Here's the screen. http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=HVP+503+40+56+01&catID=

Deflector is http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=HVP+503+07+83+01&catID=

or this one http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=HVP+503+58+99+01&catID=

The bottom one is a little smaller opening than the other one.

I usually buy them from jackssmallengine since they're a lot closer to me.

 

[caddguy]

Which one do you have Mark? Larger one?

 

[mdavlee]

I've got a smaller one setting here. I don't have the screen for it. It was backordered and I needed the other stuff in the order so I cancelled it. Here's a picture of both of them. The larger is on the 390 and the smaller one is beside it.

It's a real good runner the way it is. Here's a video of it and the modded 390xp.

The 390 whupped up on the 394.

 

[mdavlee]

The 390 is ported and the 394 is stock. That 390 has 175 lbs of compression too.

Lookin' good.

 

[mdavlee]

With that 390 I didn't have a need for the 394. That 390 came from Burvol. He had the cylinder machined and ported it himself.

The 394 doesn't truly make you go "wow" until you have a buried 42" bar hanging off it (nice 390 though!). Awesome saws, still my favorite big saw - Sam

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah the 394 is the first saw I didn't think needed modded when I first run it. A 660 left me disappointed even with a 32" bar buried.

 

[caddguy]

I am gonna Muff mod that 394 Wed or Thur night, retune and take some vids for ya Mark!

 

[HuskyMurph]

nice saw

nice 394. the muff mod is easy do it to all your saws. good luck safe cuttin

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah the muffler mod won't take as long as getting it off and cleaned after you poke a hole in it. His 372 has been ported by Brad. My 576 and 390 are ported, the 5105 is still stock. I need to swap the muffler to a non cat one on it.

 

[caddguy]

Yep..The 372xpw I got is one helluva saw! Runs a 32" full skip real nice!!!

 

[mdavlee]

The 394 will pull full comp on a 32" real good. I ran full comp in 32" and 28" on it most of the time.
