Don't ever bend you cooling fins. Ever!

Family picture after some service and tuning from few days ago. Rear R-L couple of 357XPG, OE/NE 346XGP, 340/346 Front R-L OE 372XPG, OE 362/372XPG, NE 346XPG, 351/346G

Grind with diamond stone slightly above chipped part, cut with carbide tip and round towards transfers. I did that with my Meteor cylinder, no chipping so far -> I pulled cylinder after some milling work to see the results.

Yup. I even found appropriate clutches from my parts stash.

Major score here today! NIB / NOS cranks for 162/ 266 and 160/ 163 (and many other that era saws). All I’m missing is rest of the parts, lol.

I don’t have numbers in front of me right now, quite busy at the moment but I get back into this at weekend. Thank you everyone for the tips.

Thanks for the tips. Your sigline is telling… :lol:

That is correct. It is doing it only when tilted 90 degrees to right. First time I got that thing running I cut only few cookies to get it warmed up and tuned (rookie mistake). I didn’t run the saw in different positions and was happy with it. Well, my neighbor wasn’t… This is driving me nuts.

I replaced crankseals, OEM. No chinesium on critical places, if I just can avoid it. Before pressing new seals in place I cleaned and checked crank and bearing seal surfaces, no visual signs of scratches or anything alarming. Only thing was small carbon deposits on flywheel side seal pocket...

Looks like I had hair trigger moment and hit enter too early.

Asking for help because my desperation is getting biblical levels. I’m struggling with my neighbors Husky 242xp, which he got for free after some tree felling project and gave it to me to make it run again. Saw was missing cylinder cover and everything between intake and trigger mechanism. Parts...

LoL

I’m somewhat new to this forum and surfing around found this thread. Title made chuckle. :biggrin: My 3 saw plan is/ was: Dolmar 109 (built and converted to 115 by friend of mine) Another Dolmar 115 Husky 340/ 346 also made and ported to oblivion by my friend And this is where thing started to...

Size is right but threads don’t match between 346 and 357. 346 clutch is M10x1 and 357 is 1/2”.

Well, that code was easy to crack. I just had to do that, since original decal was lost in heavy fights in the woods.
