395 Thoughts

Did some tree work with a guy for the first time, he has a
395. 30 tanks of gas run through it so far. He asked me to
adjust the carb as he says it doesn't feel like it has the power
it should. Well carb was set pretty much just right. I ran the
saw and felt the same thing, just doesn't cut fast, seems
lifeless, seems like it has a rev limiter. We did side by side
cuts him on the 395, me on my 365 with a big bore kit and we
were even. Both lgx chain freshly sharpened.
So what can you all tell me about the 395, is it a detuned 394
to meet epa specs? Crappy port timing? What has anyone done to
wake the saw up?
Thanks,
Al

Was it in small wood? 395 is pretty strong normally

I ran a new not broken in STOCK 395 at a gtg. Was a friends saw
and thought it was a pig. I was hoping to myself it was just
because it was on the first few tanks.

20'' white ash. I checked compression, 144 psi. Squish .040
plug was perfect in color.
Whats with the carb, adjustment screws only go from fully closed
to about 5/8 turn out?

I had similar experience comparing a Stihl 660 to smaller saws,
including a Husky 365. I think it has some to do with the torque
of the big saws and the fact they turn generally lower rpm. Take
the same 2 saws and bury 24" or 28" bars in some hardwood and
there will probably be a much greater difference. JMO though, I
could be wrong and don't have that much research into it.

Johng28, good point, we did a few runs, leaned on them pretty
hard, same results.

Compression is low unless you're at some altitude. Most are
normally 165-175.

If running a relatively short bar going up to an 8p drive
sprocket would get the chain speed up some and improve things.
