Yeeah!.Great score!
Put some petrol down the carb and away she went, runs mint, oiler even works!Was given this today along with a bunch of bars, looks in pretty light used condition with good compression, will throw a carb kit on and see what happens, will go nicely with my five other 009s
Stopped by the local Husky dealer to pick up some chain tensioners, happened to ask if they had any junk saws in their yard - girl at the front said she’d check. I mentioned I’d be interested in any 300 series or earlier as she walked out the back. A minute later she came out with a little 240 and the beauty I ended up taking home with me. Seemed like she was locked up at the shop, but I took off the bar & chain when I got home and the crank rotated! Didn’t feel any play in the bearing on the PTO side, which is encouraging so far. Definitely looks like an old logging saw, and it’s missing a lot of small pieces, but it’s a 394xp, for the price of $0, and it came with a 28 inch bar with an almost new chain on it.

That, or possibly increased cooling capacity of the clutch under heavy load?And it has that limited edition access port to grease the clutch needle bearing on the go!
Steal!
Looks like I may have lucked out, but further verification is needed and some cleanup on the inside at minimumStopped by the local Husky dealer to pick up some chain tensioners, happened to ask if they had any junk saws in their yard - girl at the front said she’d check.

Yep, fertilizer for the garden, an potentially a still good oem 394 cylinder!Lucked out how?
Are there a crop of potatoes growing in all that muck packed in against the cylinder?
So that's how a straight gassed chainsaw/ piston looks like...MS391 - straight gassed -$40. Debating on selling for parts or replace with new top. The good…View attachment 983304View attachment 983305
And the bad…

If it's premix how could any sensor detect the presence or lack of 2 stroke oil in the gas?! This is up to the user/owner job. Not mentioning the oil to fuel ratio for a good lubrication... One incompetent user could screw that up too...The good is good- the bad is ugly!
Somebody made a bad and early in saw life mistake with that one, you would think in this day and age we live in, saws would have an oil sensor in the tank that could detect oil or lack thereof and interrupt the ignition....... but then I guess they would not sell as many new replacement saws!
These are the pictures that crack me up when loggers tell others how they baby their saws! A fine example of maintenance.Looks like I may have lucked out, but further verification is needed and some cleanup on the inside at minimum View attachment 991558
