Spuds Porting and Tuning Thread

[Eddy_t]

I want a full wrap Handel for my 372 just need to find out where to get 1 from

 

 

A husky dealer, but they're the full wrap that Stihl calls the Canadian type

Hi spud hope all is well, looking at getting a big husk 390 / 395, which of these take well to port work?

Also a mate has a 390 he wants doing would this be possible ?

I did Stubbys 390XP and MattyFs 395XP at the same time and ran both of them together, the 395XP was faster but both have much that can be done.

I am sure they will say what they reckon on them:thumbup:

Both on same bar and chain and the 390 cut first so I didn't blunt it with the 395!

The results are as you expect I have always found the 80 cc husky a slightly lacking in torque for hard woods behind there 90 cc slightly larger brothers but unlike the same classes in stihl 640/660 there is a noticeable difference in chassis weight and handling and the 390 does feel good in hand, as for the stihl they seem to be almost identical like they could not be bothered to make a new design.

Steve has ported most of my saws including this 390 . As with all of them there ios a vast improvement in performance . Money well spent I say and a professional job . Keep meaning to send my 395 but lately it has been in use . BUT now I;m off work with my knee there is no excuse !! Might box it up to day .......

Which would you say would be best as a big saw from 20" - 36" bars not interested in 3120

395 Would not go above 28" on 390 ( because I don't have to ) 36" is on 395 .404 though .

Max I would put on the 390 would be a 32" if that is still an option but you will always be thinking I should of got the 395, well that's what I did until I got one.

My 395 is permanently on a 3/8 36" and I think it pulls it very well.

I've ran 36" on the 385/390, once ported it pulls fast, but, to do so requires porting, muffler modding AND a new carb. The carb costs more than the porting

Thanks for the advice mate I'm on private job ATM but May pop to Radmores later and collect one,

Where do you get that us muffler from couldn't find them on eBay the ones for 395, would the carb need a retune or just bolt it straight on
