Modded 390XP. It's a beast! VIDEO

[bjorn773]

Ya gotta love stair stepped huskies... I went 346xp, 365, 385xp... then threw bigger p&c's in the 346 & 365, shaved the cylinders down and ported the heck out of them.... makes filling the wood pile a whole lot more fun Now if I can just find time to tackle the 385...

 

[blsnelling]

LMAO. Kinda like the 372 build off. You can make comical statements like that when one of your saws beats mine at any GTG. I like you buddy but remember, when it comes to building saws,...I was in Baghdad when you were in yer dad's bag.

I ain't skeered. Bring on your best game

ParrisW will be doing one of these real soon as well, so he might give you both a run for your money.

Good stuff Brad.
I retuned the last 390XP you built me back to 13,800rpm down from 14,000rpm at this forestry course the other day. 200rpm made a massive difference, even on a 20" bar.
Have a play with the rpm's mate, I've found that they seem to pull better when richened up a tad. Both of my ported 390's seem to cut better at "slightly" lower rpm's than they came with.
Great saws.

Anyone have a good pic of these Tsumara light bars?

Yeah, it wasn't cheap to get it here, but it's one of those buy once, buy right kind of purchases. If I hadn't already had a few Tsumura bars for quite some time and been stoked with the way they held up, I definitely would of thought twice about this one. But the extra cost spread over the increased life of these bars is worth every cent and I'll keep buying Tsumura bars until, if ever, they let me down or go out of business, or get bought out and shut down by Blount, et al.

That 390 has both rpm's and low end grunt, a perfect large work saw IMHO. In that wood it needed more chain or an 8 pin, maybe both. I think you have a good recipes on your hands.

Sorry to let you down boys, but the weather is getting a bit cool for short pants.

Great saws.

This is what i have found to Matt, there is nothing wrong with a tad rich that is were the torque is and with the synthetic oils there is no ash or carbin and its a lot safer as well.:smile2:

Can you get us a weight on that bar? I have an Oregon I can compare it to.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I was wondering the same, weight comparison?

I have 3 or 4 of the 28" Stihl Light bars, but I need a 32" for my 066BB.

Brad, NEED or WANT? You do know there is a difference right? I need a 90cc saw but I want a 100+cc saw, see the difference? My 76cc saw just isn't quick enough anymore.

Uh......I'm pleading the 5th

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I have thought about trying one of the light bar's, just haven't had the extra cash.
