Evening all,

 

I’ve heard tale of being able to swap the ‘off switch’ on my 390 for an auto return one, possibly the same fitment as the one on a 540 top handle perhaps?

 

Link for the auto-return switch:

Thanks Moose. Order arrived from L&S yesterday, so will look at swapping switch over soon on the 390. Got new chain brake handles to fit to 550 & 555 first as they're slightly more pressing!

Switch on the 390 takes no time at all.

 

Had to replace the brake handle on my 550 too, pretty straight forward.

On the 572 note a while back I emailed an enquiry to Walker saws for the cost to build and ship a fully ‘walkerized’ 572. Ported, muffler mod, clutch cover mods etc etc
Having watched their saws on YouTube the porting is hugely impressive.
About 1200 dollars shipped. With fingers crossed it slips under the import duty radar.
Pretty reasonable
