as the second owner of this specimen,, been reading where the 394's had crank and rod problems..this one is all orig, and runs fine.. did the 395's have this problem????

no one knows???

I never heard of that buddy.

I have not heard of any crank issues either. 394 and 395s are considered to be pretty reliable by those that use/d them around here. Green coils common on the 394. Usually see them with 20" or 24" bars. The early 2094 Jonsered dropped cranks but that was cleared up long before the 2095.

The 385 and 390 were a mess when they first came out and are still considered to be a dainty saw, die hards love them but always have a backup or 5. Spun bearings, bad bearings and toasted cranks were the main reason the 385/390s got the crap reliability reputation.

394 is same crank as in a 288 i think? Never heard of any crank problems with those.

in the last 10 yrs i don't remember replacing a 394/395 crank unless it was user error. leaning a saw out too much and melting it down sometimes heats the crank and blues it. when i see a blued lower rod i replace the crank.

I'm building a 394 right now for a customer and have done a lot of them and very rare have I seen crankshaft problems, 395 takes a different crank basic difference is the flywheel side takes a different flywheel.- main bearings and seals are like any other saw they last as long as they last.
