395 build update
The 395 that i bought of ebay to build showed up yesterday. I was pumped to open the box and see what kinda shape it was in. I peel open the box and pull out a fairly nice 394xp. I was kinda bummed that it was a 394 and the item desciption was for a 395. I contacted the seller and tried to find out what was going on. The seller didnt respond in a few hours so i said the heck with it and tore into the 394 like a mad man. I compression tested it and saw a very nice 155 so i continued going thru it. Spark was also good so i stripped it down to the cases and gave it a hot water pressure cleaning. Bottom end bearings and crank felt tight so i started the reassembly. Cleaned carb, new fuel line, decarboned the top of piston, and the exhaust port on the cylinder. Got it all back together and it fired right up, idled well, oiled, and reved out. Cut with it this afternoon and it ran really strong so i was think what if the seller wants it back? The seller finally responded and said i could keep it if i was happy but never offered up why it was a 394 and not a 395. Said he must of got the shipping wrong????? I guess after contacting the seller and really not getting anywhere ill keep it. What do you think? Good deal? Bad deal? Or now i know that it runs tear it back apart and get to the mods? Should the mods be the same as you guys suggested?
