Chainsaw Repair

I have a 2008 Husky 395 -32" I bought new 3 yrs ago. It came from the factory with a little 7 tooth 3/8 rim sprocket. It seemed like it was always coming on with the rev limit, so I put a 8T rim on and the problem went away.
Good smooth power ,better compared to my Stihl 066 Mag but I don't think it would be as durable as my 066 over the long haul. From how the carb is mounted on that spongy intake for example I have my doubts for toughness.
But you know the 394-395 design has been around as long as the 066 so its got to be a good saw if their still making it. Too bad Husky couldn't put a side tensioner on the 395, but I guess they probably don't sell alot of those big saws so why bother. Husqvarna probably is testing a 95-100cc saw right now to replace it.

Its a tough sounding saw with a stock muffler, I bent the exhaust outlet flap restrictor out and it really sounds tough. I don't have alot of hours on the saw, so every festival chainsaw carving compertition I loan it out to the carvers to slab their big spruce blocks.
