Rebuilt the carburetor and all seems well. Diaphragms were pretty stiff.

Ok, new ring installed with 0.009" end gap. Compression seems suitable. Pops on 2nd or 3rd pull, fires one or two pulls afterward. Low speed screw set and it idles and revs fine, but its running lean up top. I've opened up the high speed screw and can't get it to 4 stoke at all. It also...

Yep, have a 3 pack ordered. Surely 1 of 3 will have appropriate ring gap. Appreciate the feedback.

Yes, used the piston to push the ring into the cylinder and measured 3 locations between the roof of the exhaust port and 1/4" from squish band. All 3 measured 0.021".

Definitely no air leak. Carb is tuned, both low and high. I decided to pull the jug and measure ring end gap. I'm coming up with 0.021". I'm no expert but this seems to be really high. From what I read on here I should be in the neighborhood of 0.006-0.010". Can somebody provide some...

I tuned the carb where it revs nicely from idle and 4 stroking cleans up in the cut. It's a flat top piston.

Got the toppling issue resolved. Thanks guys. Backstory on this saw. A buddy of mine handed me a Husky 340 in a box and said it didn't run and I could have it. The chain brake handle was stripped and it had a broken clutch spring. I decided while I was tearing it apart I would convert it...

I added a 346 muffler brace so this thing is hopefully good to go. Waiting to run it through its paces

I ended up taking one off a 372 and "wallering out" the holes and cutting a notch to fit the case. Have a 372 chain catcher coming to make it "more gooder". Had to quote you Stump Shot, you're my kinda people.

Thanks for the ideas. I assumed this itch has been scratched before.

A friend of mine gave me a Husky 340 that he said didn't work. I diagnosed it and it needed a new chain brake handle and clutch spring. I like to tinker so I decided to turn the 340 into a 350. I got rid of the plastic intake boot clamp and replaced it with a metal one. I got the 350 base...
