Just watched a video on that. Quite amazing how well that works

That’s why I’m here. I would’ve never known. I’ll pick up some seafoam and scotchbright and watch the video. The advice is greatly appreciated

Yes so that was the first thing I put in the USC. I didn’t do a good enough job on the outside to get crud off, and I thought it’d take the burnt carbon off. Not with the dawn dish soap solution. Next I gotta look up how to get that off and hone the cylinders. I have I think 5 or 6 to do...

I’m unsure the cause of it, I just get to figure out how to fix it. The glory of a cheap parts lot

I made a thread of my own called “Husqvarna 3-Series lot build” that way I don’t hog this up with my updates if yall wanted to follow along

Here’s the clutch covers:

Figured I’d make a thread of my own instead of hogging up the Husqvarna thread. For those new to my endeavor: I recently purchased a lot with 365/372/281/288/385/394 parts of all sorts. I ended up buying an Ultrasonic cleaner (Central Machinery 6L from Harbor freight) to clean up the parts...

I hadn’t looked that much into it. Definitely not then. I’ll just call it a crop top clutch cover

JB weld might just be the answer

I can probably find someone to weld the 3rd clutch cover but I’m stumped on the first two

The Central Machinery 6L from harbor freight. Had good reviews. Now we’re trying it out on her ring

Well my excitement got the best of me. Here’s my advice based off my experience (394xp cylinder. Risked a lot and trusted my research lol) 1. 1 tbsp dish soap per liter of water 2. Set to 130° (55° Celsius) 3. Run for 10 min, flip, then another 10 min. Not sure if flipping helps but it makes me...

Just picked up an ultrasonic cleaner today. I’ve read mixed opinions on it so asking for real experience. What’s the safe temp and time for the cylinders/mag cases while using dawn dish soap?

After digging through it all and cleaning some parts up, I’ve found that a lot of it is damaged. May not be as good of a find as I thought. I cleaned up the usable flywheel covers and clutch covers and half are beyond repair. Top plastics are also a bust besides 2 high tops and a couple 281s...

Picked up a parts lot off marketplace yesterday and am hoping to be able to at least make one saw out of it all. It’s looking like the only possible option is a 394/395 hybrid. Here’s a list of the cases that came with it all to build off of: 281 385 394 (4) Got a bunch of carbs a cylinders in...
