Brad i should of warned you about the noodles ,not a good noodle saw.
I don't know what you did with the carb but was running good for me. You have the put your weight ,bury the bar in the little stuff or it will 4 stroke
I'm sure you will figure out how to bypass the spring ,govner
beer time
gotta go

With the governor disabled, the H was set quite a bit too lean. I richened that up where it's now 400 RPMs under the spec of 11,000. But I can only get 6900 out of it with the governor enabled. Not a concern at all. I'm enjoying tinkering with it. It runs great.

That is SWEEEEET Brad,

I do love to hear them idle like that!!!

Cool saw brad!

Now I can see pics, looks great. My SP 81 4 strokes like that until its buried, complete opposite of the 394. Its a torque thing I think.

I little more tweaking with the carb and governor spring and it's running perfectly. She idles along nicely at about 1700 RPMs

Brad you need to get a big bar on that thing and find something worthy of that thing to cut. Send it to me so I can finish off my 6' log I promise I will send it back...:hmm3grin2orange:
Eventually.......

The fellas are right here. An 090 won't even get out of bed until you have it buried in at least 36" of hard wood, but then be sure you have your boots on!

Brad, I hooked a rubber band from the lever that closes the choke to somewhere on the saw and the tension was right so it reved great. Play around with different points of attachment and sizes of bands and you will come up with something, Best of all it is instantly put back to stock.

That is a good idea. I had never thought of that. That is one of those great anecdotal service ideas, kinda like settin the points on a big Mac saw using two layers of cigarette celophane as a feeler guage.

Nice vid Brad!!!!

Man that saw sounds sweet!!!!!

I really should shoot another. It's running that much better in the cut now.

Please do. The first one was sweet. Can't wait to see the second one.

 

[madhatte]

I want one. Real bad.

I know that feeling! Just keep your eyes open and your wallet full, lol

 

[stinkbait]

Looks good Brad!

Well, I can do the "eyes open" part decently enough. Ear's to the ground!

Mayday, mayday! We have a crisis, lol. I had the 090 out yesterday. Andyshine was making the first cut of the day with it. Right in the middle of the first cut, the saw lost spark. I disconnected the kill switch and replaced the plug and still no spark. Any ideas? I've yet to even look in the manual to see if this thing has points or electronics. I'm hoping points right now.

Kind of like a "WTF" moment. I know the feeling. It's like the time my SP125C sheared the flywheel key. Good luck with the repair.
