Husqvarna 350/346 Repair Thread.

[Milkman31]

Is there anything that can be used from the 440/445 on the 346?

What is the proper way to run a rim sprocket on the 350 I bought the drum kit and oiler worm for a 346. The crank is larger od on the 346 where the worm rides. It is sloppy on the 350. Is there a bushing? I have the spur oiler worm on it now but it is not a tight fit to the drum ribs.

I just buy the Oregon Powermate rim setup for a given model, they work very well.

How does that work with the oilers worm? Does it have the spur type ribs on the spline drum?

 

[huskihl]

The ribs and notches don't line up perfectly and are sloppy, but it works fine. There is no bushing to run the 346 worm that I know of

It's sloppy but it does work

 

[psuiewalsh]

Looks like it could be 1/2" id bushing, .585" od, .340" long. There is also a difference in thread length as the 350 worm is deeper. Not sure if a washer would put the worm in a bad place on the oilers?

I have been running the setup on my 350 for a while and it seems to work fine even though it's sloppy

 

[psuiewalsh]

Sounds like a good aftermarket worm upgrade. If they could machine the core in the mold to fit the spline drum on the spur oiler mold.

Trying again with a problem child 350. I have had issues with sealing the case and bearing cup. Just installed new bearings and seals tonight. Will P&V tomorrow evening.

That one needs the 350 bearing cap then the 346 piston and cylinder.

you need to buy the worm gear for the 350 Keith.

Looking for some assistance. I put a 346xp, OEM, p/c on my 2007 353. Same time I change the rubber/plastic from the carb to the port inlet.
I can't get this thing to idle. Right now I have adjustment all the way closed and it works best like that, but I still have to feather the throttle to keep it running, until good and hot. Any adjustment to the right and the saw will die quicker. Was there an ignition or carb change I should have made too?

Pulse line have a hole in it, or possibly pinched?

Unlikely a hole since it's new, but I'll check the route for pinch.
Thanks
