Thank you for the good info and video I greatly appreciate it ,I’m open to any and all advice/info. I’m definitely not “in the know” I’ve only done muffler mods and carbs so far haven’t ventured into changing any pistons or anything To hop them up, I’m still at that stage where it’s almost like...

I guess I should have added that in there, it does have the 45L stamped on the top, so the 353 is just a direct swap for that cylinder? And as for sealing the cylinder just rid the base gasket and use a little bit of gasket maker to seal it then?

I’ll def look into this, so far it’s seemed to be fine but as I said the saw was given to me so there only may be more problems to come as I keep running it… but hey a free saw is a free saw.. I’m definitely not against plastic case saws, just been fortunate that we’ve had a bunch of old 0...

I may have to switch it for a different piston then, the old locust probably wasn’t the best for testing it out but it chugged through good just slow.. after my first modded saw(450P) makes me want to wake them all up… can’t believe how much power was choked off in that muffler… the muffler...

Thank you guys again for all the replies it’s been very helpful! Bench time has been limited lately. have a lil 7 month old boy and works been 12-14 hours/day the past few weeks.. Did get some time to mess with it and from what I’ve found it may have been a carb issue… I tore it apart again...

Good looking saw there! I’ll have to try the bracket for that issue.. and how did I not come across that thread before :BangHead:…I appreciate it. I’ve been lurking on here and arborist site and forestry forum and all trying to find more on the 350… I know it’s a question I can really only...

Thanks for the replies so far, I’m by no means a mechanic but started,as my wife would call it, d*cking around with small engines about 4-5 years ago.. and caught the bug of trying to fix everything… I appreciate any and all help from everyone! Wolverine, now you say that, shortly after I...

Also forgot to note I cleaned up all around flywheel and coil, cleaned up all the wire connections and regapped the coil

Ok I’ll try that to check it this weekend, the guy I got it from said the exact same thing to me as soon as he started to cut with it and it was warm it just loses power… does 115-120 psi compression seem right he for this saw though? Only other homeowner type saw I have is a echo 450P that was...

Thanks for the reply… fuel line and filter are basically new.. not even a spec of dirt on the fuel filter , air filter is almost new looking also very minimal use on it, central in between state college and Harrisburg

New here, can anybody help, got a husky 350 for free… starts and seems to run/rev good, once in wood loses power. Tested compression and it’s 115-120. Replaced intake boot clamp with a metal clamp, cleaned carb, popped the muffler off and spark plug cylinder looks good… anything else to be...
