Never ordered from partstree but I will check it out. I've had parts on order from another place for two weeks and my patience is running thin.

Tank complete have # 501761310, choose then more detail
You get up one list of different Huskies this tank fit

So should I just leave the cylinder untouched?
The lowers are begging me to match them to the case but I've heard through the banana vine just to leave em alone.

I did mine and there were gains, I think anyway, I don't remember how it ran stock.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Anyone have a spare clip they'd be willing to part with?
Preferably grey, but doesn't matter

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Only thing I think I'm gonna put a burr on is the intake. Just match the intake to the boot.
You can see the scribe mark on the roof. The only place exposed within the boot.
Probably won't net anything from it, but it'll make me feel warm inside.

Case compression?

Yep
Anything removed from below the intake floor effects case compression.

 

[paragonbuilder]

Right. So some say case match for better flow. The banana vine says leave them for more case compression/ velocity.
Anyone know what makes a stronger 346?
Is one faster, and one torquier?

So what caused the melt down? The 353 that I'm working on has a plug under the clutch cover that was basically gone. It goes directly into the crankcase so I'm certain that's why it melted down. Just wondering what you found??

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I found a few things.

1st thing I found was a chain so dull, would have been better off installed backwards.

2nd thing I found was water in the fuel tank. Lots of it.

3rd thing I found was a torn impulse nipple on the intake boot.

 

[beaglebriar]

It amazes me what people do to these things. Then again neglect and ignorance has landed me some nice saws.. After they're repaired of course.

I have one topend that is untouched, for the same thoughts you are having. I have one that is matched to the base gasket. I did it because I've yet to see a 365 that did not gain from it, and thru extensive research over the Internet, It's been done for years.

If it were me and if it helps you make a decision, I would open up the rear some but not fully. That way you can have a mix of both,the saw should perform well.

Front or rear?

What is closest to the exhaust. Sorry, should of been more specific. A lot of dead area there, no?

No mistake to me. The mechanics of it makes sense to blend and match up. But they will run without the work. The end results is you want what is in the crankcase getting up top to make power.

You can put a piston in the cylinder where it would be at BDC and look at where it will flow from it into the transfer tunnels.
