Sold Custom Jonsered 2188

[blsnelling]

I bought this saw new and immediately pulled the original topend. I started the mods with a 385XP cylinder. I cutt the squish band, then sent it off to US Chrome and had it bored 2mm to a 395XP bore and had it re-plated. They did a beautiful job. I then fitted a thin-ring 2100 piston to the saw. This required a little clearancing on the crankcase for the full-skirt piston to clear at BDC. I then ported the cylinder. Stock 390 exhaust timing is at about 96°. This one is at 100°. Compression is right at 200 PSI. It makes great torque and RPMs. RPMs aren't quite what my ported 390 are, but it's exhaust is higher. You can tell the difference in the torque. I also bored out the venturi in the carb. The ignition timing is advanced 6° It is as well mannered as a stock saw.

What I'm really looking for is another 395XP. It would have to be in like new condition. I've got a wild hair to build another one. This 2188 is the only Jonsered I have left, and runs too close to my 390, so is more or less a duplicate.

This is PHO. The B&C are not included.

Asking $1,000 OBO. It would cost you $1,500+ to have one built like it.

What's a new 395 cost, PHO?

'Bout $1200 here... that 2188 is one cool saw Brad.

That last one I bought was a couple years ago. I got it for $1K. I should check back with them. It was a dealer in Columbus, OH.

I think list here now with a 32" bar is $1269 (western style- full wrap handle, case protector, large inner and outer guide plates, large dawgs.)

I could probably get the western PHO here for about $1075.

 

[bowtechmadman]

You would much rather have a 660 Stihl...how would you like me to box it up?

 

[bowtechmadman]

I'll even throw in a bar.

I just checked and I can still get the standard 1/2 wrap PHO for $1,000 + tax = $1,065. Or, I can get it with a 36" B&C for $1,080/$1,150.

JJ, are there any advantages to the western setup even if swapping it over to a 1/2 wrap handle?

I dunno, most likely not. The engine is the same. The case protector really isn't necessary unless a guy is in the woods with a long bar. It would only be worthwhile if those parts were something a person wanted regardless.

Big Mouth Billy Bass.......BADASS!!!!

I ran this saw at the Ohio GTG last year. Very nice saw.

I can't believe that is the only jonny you have left. You had a whole family not long ago.
