anybody know of a place on-line that has a reasonably priced aftermarket cylinder, piston & rings in standard size for a Husky 394xp?
thanks
thanks
????? of what ?????how about a pic or 2 ?
I'll be making darn sure I can convert it before I make the purchase, I emailed the guy asking what other "parts" I'll need.that ebay 395 also says this for a 394xp.
IF YOU ARE PURCHASING THIS FOR A HUSKY 394XP YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL PARTS TO CONVERT THAT MODEL. so you better check with the guys in the know.
can't do any pics yet, I have not taken the saw apart yet and it will most likely be a couple weeks before I do.pic of cylinder & piston

it is just getting old and tired, it's not as strong as it used too be and some times can be a pain too start with the compression release button in or out so I figured if I could do the whole top end for a decent price and get a little more time out of it I would do it.What did it do and then figure out what caused it to do whatever it did?

Man it just might need re-ringed, do a compression check and look in the exhaust hole and plug hole and see what you got.
Rftreeman said:well, did some more looking and according to this guy http://cgi.ebay.com/CYLINDER-PISTON-...QQcmdZViewItem this will work with my 394xp.
thanks for the help.
I'm aware of the extra parts so I think I'll get it apart and see if the cylinder is usable, it probably is, the saw just started giving the problems I spoke of in my previous post.The 395 uses a different intake if you're going to go that route. So in addition to the cylinder and piston, you'd need the intake boot, clamp, collar, and flange. The 395 cylinder does have better transfers than the 394 and if modded right can get a bit more snap.
You can probably salvage the 394 cylinder with some emery cloth and solvent or cutting oil. 10 minutes of hand sanding will remove a lot of galling and aluminum residue. Also get a wire brush attachment for die grinder if you have one and clean all of the carbon out of the combustion chamber area. Also remove all the carbon from the exhaust port. Scrape the bulk of it out with an old pocketknife and then finish it with sandpaper or emery cloth wrapped around a stick, screwdriver, or rolled up.
that may be a error in the listing, if I go that route I'll be sure and ask before I buy, thanks for bringing that up.That's not a 395 cylinder and piston. It's for Jonsered 2094/2095 and is not compatible with your 394, unless you want to do a lot of work and buy quite a few more parts.
