How does it perform compared to mine Brad??
Without both saws on hand it's hard to tell, unless you have timed cuts in the same log.:msp_wink:

Hi there Brad,looks and sounds nice,at the 11,20 and 43 second marks there is sparks,molten metal,fireworks come out of muff,from chain from something ?.
That's just pieces of piston and rings
Honestly, I don't know. The P&C still look perfect. I checked!
Like Andre said, that's tough to say. I hope to get it in some of the same wood and will post vids.

That's completely normal, and it happens in every video I take in low light. Think about why saws have spark arrestors, what you saw was a very small piece of carbon coming from the combustion chamber. You'll also see sparks coming off the B&C in low light.

Carbin from a brand new saw,must be a husky thing.:biggrin:
It was barely light enough to make a vid. I edited the shots to brighten them up. I know a saw will throw sparks, but it concerned me beings this is a new saw and a fresh port job. The first thing I did was check it out. All looks good.
All is good, just some ash/carbon whatever you want to call it, happens in both new saws and old saws, like I said that's why they have spark arrestors.
K. Schmuck's 390 is a mean machine (used to be Burvol's, as I recall), and he and I both beat it with Bob's 394 in back-to-back cuts on the same cant... but your 372 was the real gem. That thing is nimble and strong and responsive. There was a 395 floating around somewhere too but I misremember whose it was or what had been done to it.

Well now I've got another saw to add to my want list.
Do the 390's have the same basic port design as the 372?
Nice work as always Brad.

They look like a larger 372 in design but port differently.

Hey Brad aka blsnelling iv sent you a few pms and im pretty sure they are not getting to you. Can you email me at [email protected] i have a few questions about your saw building
I got them, just haven't had a chance to reply.
Here it is in the same wood the last 390 I did. This one's wearing an 8-pin rim and the rakers are a little lower, set for soft wood.

I don't yet have the intake duration where I want it, since the jug will be coming down for a popup.
