Guys, I left the site because I was noticing a couple of members bashing on other threads and it got on my nerves. The 395XP had a very simple problem. I had installed a aftermarket coil that was limited and would not allow the saw to make enough rpm's. I overlooked the coil until I took...

I made a mandrel to do my base cuts and use a live center to hold it on there. I have made a couple of different sized mandrels so far and made them from aluminium. I was told the other day to build them from wood and would not have thought of that. I have taught myself how to re-key a...

I see. Until just recently I have only been doing straight overhauls. I have started to do port work and lowering squish bands on my own saws. I have a nice lathe and milling machine and recently got out of machinist school. I am having trouble getting a grasp of timing on the saws. I have...

I know what you mean. This little project is for me and that doesn't pay anything either. I guess the first thing I should install the piston and make sure it will clear the crankcase. I haven't even verified that yet. On the 044/046 hybrid, is there anything to be gained other than a...

I am gonna place a hosebarb in the cylinder base as opposed to drilling into my crankcase. I dont care to modify that at all. Anyhow, it will be a few days before I go any further with the project.

Of course that will snowball into sourcing another carburetor because of the impulse feed. Alot of aggrevation to get this to fit. I wish the guy with the original 038/261 hybrid would respond on power output. It would probably save me some time.

Any thoughts on the problem with the impulse feed? The only one I have is to drill a hole in the base of the cylinder like a 395 and install a hosebarb.

I am gonna try the pre EPA intake manifold that fits the the 365/372XP saws. I have to modify the bolt pattern on the base of the cylinder and remove a fin on the lower left side of the cylinder with my mill. That is the only things I see that needs to be modified. The cylinder I hafe is a...

I looked at my 038 magnum cylinder last night and I think I figured out how to put it together. If I use a manifold from a 37XP it ends up almost the perfect length to run the stock carburetor and air filter support. I didn't give the case volume issue much thought but I am now that you have...

That would be easier than the 038 cylinder. Its not much gain for the amount of work though. I bet there is a close match in one of the other companies lineup that will increase hp.

I don't get to work with anything but aftermarket cylinders so I have no experience there. I wish I did. I have used this aftermarket setup several times before and they are able spin the saws plenty fast. Something is wrong this time and it will be a few days before I get back to it. The...

I watched a video on the Stihl 500i today. I didn't know it existed and I did decide I think it will be better than the M-tronic computerized saws. I am looking at a group a timber cutter has tomorrow afternoon that is supposed to have some of those in it. About 8-10 saws. I can't blame...

I own almost every saw that I work on an for the most part I only sell on Ebay. I take off in new directions and make a day of buying every saw, carcass, or part I can get my hands on and three weeks ago I bought 30 saws from a dual brand dealership, Stihl and Husqvarna. They take saws in on...

That is what I meant by what I said. Sometimes I don't word things right if I am tired. I will carefully inspect the cylinder I take off then put another p/c kit on the saw and get it to running that way. Something has to be wrong. I dont ever give up on the timber saws. The little home...

So this is what I found out. I looked the muffler over and it looked fine inside and out. The screen wasn't oiling up at all. I double checked the flywheel and timing and verified it against my own personal saw that is set up the same way and they are the same. I did notice though that with...

I will do. Thank you

I forgot to mention that I had checked the screen on the muffler already but I do need to take it off and check the insides out. Thank you for your quick reply.

I have a Husqvarna 395XP that has given me a fit. I buy every saw I work on and have overhauled several of this model. This saw has a problem that is new to me. I tore it down and gave it a thorough cleaning. Installed new crank seals, new fuel line and filter, new intake manifold and...

Did you get this saw back to going. I have bought a very nice looking 261 and was considering the same conversion. I already had a new 038 Magnum kit on the shelf and now that I have the 261 cylinder laying beside it I am discouraged because of the completely different intake ports and the...

I thought I was the only guy having that luck. I had one return in three years (200+ saws), till last week. I had 3 in five days. An MS250 that wasn't big enough and never cranked despite the fact it came back with grass and dirt in the clutch and cover. A 390xp that left with a blue coil...
