"I don't need a ported 394... but I sure do want one!" You're speakin' my language, brother!

I'm not nor have ever been a chainsaw bloke, and I stumbled upon your channel by chance. I never thought that watching some one tinker with chainsaws could be so therapeutically satisfying. Thanks Tinman.

Thanks Tinman, from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK 😊👍

Appreciate the video. It helped me split open a 353G e-tech.

WoW, You broke that saw down faster than I can carve a Thanksgiving Turkey !

I am building a 576xp right now, I just used 1/2 allthread a few 1/2" nuts and 2 1/2 all thread rod couplers. screw all thread all the way into the coupling nuts, put 2 nuts on the rod exposed. cut it to a length that fits between the case in 2 separate spots preferable 180 degrees out from each other. then just use 2 cresent wrenches turning the all thread out of the coupling nut. pushes it right apart. put one piece where muffler sits and other where handle and gas tank run on back side.

Been waiting to see you tear down one of these beast!

I overpaid $350 for a " low hour" 026 with a scored piston and cylinder, it was the best purchase I ever made, it got me into a great hobby and learned new skills

I found a 394 for almost nothing. I’m gonna have it done 💪🏻💪🏻

I just picked up a 394xp and so stoked for this video. I don’t even need this big ole boy but man do they eat!!!

Thx again for sharing ! Keep up this school ! :-). Keep em coming ! :-)

Man' these 394s are popping up on you tube all over the place. that one your playing with has the Mung. Ironhorse showed two saws that had been waxed.

great saws ive done probaly a thousand of them just a great torque saw im doing one for myself for milling you will love it tinman good job bud

I'm pretty pumped to see this thing maxed out!

Love the videos tinman. Making me alot more confident to work on my saws more and tune them alot better.

I like leaving some of my older ported saws a lil ratty lookin. Kinda makes em a sleeper

That tool works great, thanks for sharing

Great video as I'm bout to do the same thing

I love your videos buddy keep it up

Awesome job, love the fact that you admit your not a know it all, and your spot on, when you admit you don't know, your opening your mind to learn. Can't wait to see it run. Stay safe and God bless

The one saw I've split that that type of splitter didn't work on was a 357xp with crank stuffers.

Try to remove your fly wheels with a air punch. It works great and it is so easy.

I wish I found this video after I hammer split opened my Stihl MS341 😅 well, it happened, not sure if the case body is still good cause I hammered that one. It didn't open so I took a bad nut to screw it a bit to the crankshaft flywheel side and hammered it down and it split apart. Anyway, it's my experience I guess will check tomorrow if the thing is still good

a pick and compressed air do wonders on those screw heads.

i found that drop the saw bodys in a hot tub with dishwasher tablets make them like new!

Mung-what a descriptive name for that stuff. Loved the video will be following this build. The 90 plus saws I don’t really need, but they sure are fun to run:).

Awesome video bud.

Interesting, my old friend the saw man wouldn’t do bottom ends if they were shot he tossed them. He always used a pressure washer to clean parts . Works well nontoxic, the costumers couldn’t believe it was there saw so clean

Good video. Educational.

Hey buddy I'm sure you know this, but figured I would put it out there. Usually when I have bolt heads full if stuff I will put the tip of my blow gun right up to the head and it usually cleans the heads right out. If need be scratch at a little first with a pick. Anytime I tap the bit in, it really packs that stuff in and makes it tough to get out. Just figured I'd throw it out there. Really enjoy the videos buddy!

Cool 😎 thanks for the tips

When I had my 395xp I had a 20 inch bar on her and a 8 pin rim sprocket ,,bucking firewood that saw was nuts my boss at the time couldn't figure out how I was cutting so much firewood as fast as I was ,till he seen the saw I was using lol

This saw will be a monster :)

Just got in to the huskies i recently got a 395xp an waitn on a 2100.

Very exciting project! I have a NIB 395 XP yet to be used. Purchased years ago on a good deal. Not exactly sure how that saw compares to the 394? I've heard they both oil really well! 💪👍

That saw has lived a life! Someone got their monies worth from that one.

Love the shirt Zoo York ! Lol

Man tinman, you have me wanting a 394 now. Gunna have to keep my eyes open for one now. This was a cool video man. Keep em coming 🤙🏼

i like the oiler you left in at 1443

Tinman do you ever or have you ever tried the ceramic bearings? They say they are good for 30,000 rpm and give the saw 500 more rpm plus run cooler etc. The cost is the only factor a set of bearings for a MS461 Stihl is around $100-120.00 compared to SKF bearings.

I have a Solo 681 completely torn down - case gasket was bad and it was letting oil from the chain reserve leak into the crank case. I need to replace its clutch as one of its springs was broken, but I'm unable to find a source. Would it be possible to use someone else's clutch on this machine?

Freedom 🇨🇦thank you!!!

When do you think you will post the 394 build again ? Thanks for sharing all these videos .

Informative video. I have one question. I have a 2100 crankshaft, that is broken on the flywheel side, but has a good connecting rod, and I have another good crank with a broken rod. Have you ever pressed the crank apart to repair or replace a rod with a bad bottom end?

The Jed Clampett Beverly Hillbillies saw. Might find a dinosaur in there...lol good stuff Tinman Mahalo🤙🤙🤙... Tdawg.

Got a 55 that doesn’t make a diff when I make adjustments on the carb jets. Any suggestions

Hey Tin man would you know where I could get a unlimited coil for a 394xp and what a good part # would be ???

I love my 576xp

tinman my friend will the 254 crank seals fit the 61 husky. thank you

I usually just screw an assembly tool on and give it a rap on the end and the flywheel pops off.

Hi Tinnman!!😀😀 Looks like somebody that ran the 394 used drain oil for bar lub in order to get that amount of gunk in the tank. Hope she is a screamer when you are done with her. Take care my friend!! Logger Al

Now come on Tinman this isn't the process Harvey showed us today with the tools of splitting the cases 🤣🤣 I had to laugh at him when he tried to split case's with crank install tool I was like now I want to see how this works out for him on the channel lol

Hey tinman I have a394xp that needs to be rebuilt how much would it cost to do something like that

Hello Tin Man Would you use a new case gasket or would you just use motoseal.

Hahaha you keep talking about how dirty it is.......you should have seen the last 4 I rebuilt . Bought them from one dude. I swear he cut molasses blocks with concrete mixed in hahsha.love my 394 and 395. What I didn't know until yesterday is the 394 had more power than the 395.

Hey tenman please answer this question if u got time but in the late 90ds what saw would keep up with loving not hot saw. I have a husq 45 husq 55 and they have been great saws for a long time with me. But I tried a brand new 261 c Stilth chainsawsnd it was a dog in bucking wood with it. But i tooned it with jet seething and it did ok. But I could never get my mind off my 45 and 55 husq saw. They ran circles around the stilth chainsaw I want to step up just a little bit higher saw and I know u can point me in the right direction. because I have bigger trees to cut down down here in Georgia and I need a little more saw and I was wondering what you recommend on the Husky side to buy used down here to make a great saw I love it I don’t need no rocket ship I just need something to cut wood quick fast and puts a smile on my face any info you can give me back I would greatly appreciate it and I wanna thank you for taking the time out of your day to help us you’re a great guy and I appreciate everything you do keep it in the wood my brother.

I always use my Dewalt 18v impact driver to remove Allen heads...having once stripped one out and then snapped the head off trying to use an extractor....arrrrggggghhhhhhhh!!! Maybe I'll try all this stuff on my G660 (92cc) and we can race them

Did you have to split the case on Buckin’s Jonsereds 920

If its hard to come loose, dont force it just get a bigger hammer.

I need to split my 181se and fix the oil leak.

I would replace the bearings I wouldn't take the chance

Us a pick to clean out your bolt heads!

Excuse me sir, may I ask, if the damaged piston is from a Japanese chainsaw, I will replace it with a piston from china, and the same size, is that okay sir?

Wow! Never seen that much gunk in a bar oil tank! I don't think kerosene and a good shake would've quickly taken care of that one.

May I know the price of husqvarna 394 xp engine parts ring liner piston

Do you have a suggestion to where buy that crank puller?

Now how do you get the bearings out of the case halves ?

Thanks for the video! Sent you an email.

A swedish beast that Tinman can run. I bet Tinman can get it to an 8hp saw.

And an awesome Husky lives to cut another day.

As cheap as you can buy good SKF bearings and OEM seals, it doesn’t make sense to not go through the bottom end.

Tinman, I have a pioneer p42hp that needs a piston and I’ve searched high and low for a oem and can’t find any, do you know of anyone who has one or maybe a piston from another saw that may fit? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Friend is it possible to send the puller thumb print to make new one at my place. Here this type puller not available if you can do a favour to make one thanks

how are you guys finding these 394s?

Remember wipe off xtra motoseal :equals 15 hp

That’s the definition of “mung” inside that thing. Running used motor oil for bar oil or something. Greeeeeeeasssy

They are close to a 395?

..split a crankcase?..three sharp wood chisels..drive one in the bottom at the split, one at the split on top of the oil tank, and one at the top rear of the crankcase..drive each one alternately about 1/8" at a time, until you can pry the crankcase apart...believe it or not, I have actually seen this done before.. :0 ....not a pretty sight!...

well that 394 may keep up with my 372 H O H /////// lol

Looks like he used pine tar for bar oil

Quiero. Que. Suban. Husqvarna395

Mmmmm, chewy.

Just put a turbo on it

at 2131 they are cheap like
