First start up on a new NeoTec NH895 (395xp clone), failure 1 ☹️

[@richarddodds9326]

I got 892 and it runs good and got to get some stihl parts. The screws are soft and will strip some of the plastic too. The 1'st time it was working hard the compression release button got soft and the valve dropped in and dented the piston and cylinder on the top ring and had to scrape the bump out of the ring groove to free the ring, got new valve, it's ok and discovered saw dust lightly scratch the bore. Not very much. I open muffler and turn H screw in 1/4 turn and it is very powerful. Got 3/4 wrap handle 36 bar, the chain had busted side link and I fixed it and got 24 stihl bar and chain too. The chain adjuster is junk.

@@richarddodds9326 yeah there is some little thing that you definitely need to replace on a lot of the clone saws. Nice to hear the you saved the piston after dropping the decomp in the cylinder. Stihl definitely has a bed design on that one. The Husqvarna design is much better on must of there saws. Thanks for watching my video

[@richarddodds9326]

The aluminum saw dust from machine work was not cleaned out. I think the screw holes for the cylinder were tapped after the case halves were assembled and the shavings left.

@@richarddodds9326 dang that doesn’t sound good. After having both a NeoTec and the Holzfforma I would say that I rate the Holzfforma’s a shade better in quality.

[@dn0682]

They for sure look great, I don't think they are reliable as OEM, personal choice used one and full rebuild with original parts and then for sure reliable saw.

[@garengtutorial8923]

Keren sekali. Mungkin tenaganya juga tidak jauh berbeda dengan yang asli

[@SomeGuysSawShop]

Those clone saws have HORRIBLE recoil issues, it’s usually better to just use an OEM one, and the carbs are harder to adjust for sure I’ve noticed. I can’t wait to see that 390 you build, you gonna port it?

[@sunbear1973]

Yep I will be porting it and working on the piston to lighten it up some. I did that to a 2186/385 and it turned out really nice. I did sell it to a tree guy and it has been doing really good for him, it turning out to be his favorite big saw. I might just get an OEM starter for the clone 395. Thanks

@@sunbear1973 that’s awesome, I really need to get myself a 390 husky and port it, I always hate sending 390s back because I love them so much😂

[@Gary67242]

exactly what was suspected..thats neotec lol...thumbs up !!

[@billbertagnoli4226]

If it's an actual clone it's a saw that Shouldn't require tuning. Especially on the first start.

[@sunbear1973]

Thanks for the comment. But I live at 7000ft elevation and pretty much every saw that I would get is going to need tuning. Most saws coming from a factory are set to a 0 - 2500ft elevation so all have come running rich.

[@billbertagnoli4226]

@@sunbear1973 so I'm guessing it's Not an auto tune. Sorry. I live at 1,363 Ft. Never had to tune either of my Husqvarna saws. Good to see reviews On the clones. Lots of folks can't or Don't want to pay a grand for a saw.
