Not me... But I'm gonna have Stumpy port the tired old 039... Otherwise, it would eventually end up just a parts saw... :msp_tongue:

They run pretty well opened up. The next time I do one I hope to build a popup for it.
 
:clap: No since in makin it a parts saw. But it might be after I git done with it.:hmm3grin2orange:

I sorta doubt that Stumpy. You seem to be doing a good job on your work. I've made scrap metal out of a few jugs. But I knew I was pushing the limits when I did it. If you are like me you just have to know how much is too much. :laugh:
 
This spring me&a buddy sawed up a downed pine tree in his yard. He had a new MS290 20" and i had my year old MS390 24". He was wishing he had initially got the MS390. And guess what, we're just homeowners!:buttkick:

Thanks.

So far I haven't scraped a jug yet, but have had to fire up the tig to fix a couple. Just been lucky so far. I figure there is two types of porters, those that have scraped a jug & those who are gonna scrap one. Just hop when I do that it's not an expensive one:msp_w00t:

I'm really hoping this hasn't happened within the last week, or so..............:msp_unsure:
 
I'm not saying your MS390 will explode in your first hour of testing, but i will say that this would be a fantastic time to invest in a nice flip down face shield. We only get one set of eyes.

Audible, I always appreciate the ray of sunshine you consistently cast upon every thread you visit.
 
Thanks.

I've not had any that wouldn't still run, just not like I wanted them to. I've raised the port timing too high on a couple and lost to much low end torque. They still make good saws for cutting up toothpicks. :laugh:

I'm over building high rpm screamers. Now I build saws strictly for torque, if it won't pull in bigger wood it's a waste of a good saw imo.

I think you are gonna like the new and improved 390. The chain that it was wearing in the videos I shot had the rakers a bit low for a 64cc saw. I'll do much better with a less aggressive chain on it. The rakers were at around .040 on that chain.

I'm looking forward to hearing your report on it. :)

Stumpy and myself both "liked" this post. Jonathan did not! :laugh:
