395xp or ms660?

[wisecobandit]

My 395 is a "westie" 3 port muffler ( including the original ) full wrap aftermarket handle ( bit better quality than Huskie one ) big dawgs etc etc so I thinking its at least a 7.1hp . Got a Walker saw shop sticker on the air box cover but not sure if its been done or just the sticker so could be more . Pulls a 36" .404 all right though ..

I got a brand new 395 sat here just waiting to be ported when I get the opputunity. Already done the muffler mod

My other 395 is ported etc but just runs a 28" 3/8 set up.

 

Ive got a 36" .404 on the 394 and pulls it absolutely faultlessly (stihl rsc chain)

Rumour has is the 394 has a touquier motor but I can say either way on that one. Due to the CAD as soon as I get my hands on a saw for myself it goes straight on the workbench... The only unported saw as such a I own is a 346 xpg and that's got a m/m and 357 carb on it

Hi mate less vibs then a 660 having a :lol:I'm getting my 660 Steve ported soon faster then 661 then thanks all Jon

Yes IMO. the guy i worked with had both and i would choose the 395 over the 660 any day but each to their own. I prefer any husky saw over stihl to be honest

Is there much difference between an 066 and a 660 ? .

 

I don't think there is any difference, other than the badge.

I really like my 395 but a curious thing happens when it has the 28" bar on- it seems to pull itself into the cut a bit violently and and sort of jams up- the rakers are not too low and it has always done it, but I don't have this problem at all when I have the 36" or 20" bar on. I really can't work out why it does it and nor can anyone else who use the saw?

Other then that she's a belter!

Spooky that is . Only on the 28"

Got to be a chain issue. If it cuts more violently and bites in. If the rakers are the correct height the only thing is possibly the angle of sharpening that I could imagine it to be.

[Matthew Storrs]

Yes I know it is purely down to the chain, but I really can't find out what, I know what I'm doing when it comes to sharpening and have no problem with any other saws so it remains a little bit of a mystery! The symptoms are identical to too low rakers but isn't the case here.
