93 year 394xp in. Refresh time for rings piston. Still runs, just down to 125psi.

Pro safety full wrap worth a bit of change.

Found out saw came from Oregon close to 20 years ago. Noticed it had some of their style porting theories in it.
Before clean up. Lucky no transfer. Then after cleaning and quick fresh crosshatching for new rings and piston when arrives. I'm talking just seconds on the crosshatching each way to remove glaze etc. Also can do by hand with emery clothe.

Much better getting rid of that carved up piston in that 394. New piston kit, cylinder cleaning.

Back together and test cut with and tuned.

Much better throttle response etc. Old voodoo piston IMO was holding back a tad.

While I had that 394 down for new piston etc above.

I had ordered one of those pistons kits for the G395. The $4.25 piston that comes in the Farmertec is hair off specs. Still runs good and great psi. But makes alittle noise from being out of spec.

Only difference is the SawSalvage Dukes flat top piston kit added with their rings used too. Not even half tank through it.
Other with lower psi is the Farmertec $5 piston with caber F cast rings with less then 2 tanks. The piston that is not to specs. Like 55.86 compared to 55.94 55.95 55.96 A AB B
Base gasket still used. G395xp .045
