Not totally unrelated here, I've lengthened the throttle rod on all of my 346/350/2152/2153 saws and I prefer the feel of the trigger compared to stock. You will get a little bit of pushback on the trigger if you really dog in and compress the AV but overall I like it better. I never liked the amount of dead trigger before it starts opening the throttle plate the way they're setup stock. It doesnt take much, just tweak the last two 90* bends before it enters the handle and it helps a lot IMHO.

A VERY good point, done that plenty of times. nice

Did exactly this last night actually.

Gonna tear it down now

Bummer. Will you share your findings please I got a 350 that's going to probably need something like this to.

Loctite helps

Yessir

I was worried thinking that maybe theres was already locktite on it and it shook loose from that.

course or fine thread ?

 

[Mattyo]

one of the problems that nobody talks about is the fact that if you drop the cylinder head by cutting the base of the cylinder or trimming the riser block that the stock cylinder head bolts are too long and bottom out. so I shorten mine so they fit.... but even I get lazy and don't always check

and yes, pretty sure there is loctite on these. ....my other 350 that I use regularly this doesn't happen to... so I dunno ... i'll tear her down one of these days when I find an hour lol

 

[Mattyo]

Yup....a new problem..

I was going to try and fix my 345 up and make it into a 350, but I am having 2nd thoughts now. Maybe it just isn't worth it.
I gotta try and just fix that intake boot clamp. Saw runs fine otherwise. For a stock, OEM Clamshell.

 

[Mattyo]

i've never seen this before Jeff... these are oem too... I just don't know what happened.

The bearing cap bolts were very tight. no issue there. I'm wondering if my 1184 job just wasn't good enough for the bearing cap...but this is odd that its on both bearings. too hot? but it doesn't look like burn marks

 

[RI Chevy]

OEM or AM Bearings Matt?

 

[Mattyo]

oem bearings... and the bearings themselves are fine. its the seal that is somehow eaten.... very odd

Jeff, you are very diligent about how your saws run. The clamp hasn't failed so run the Saw! You will know before you burn it up if it fails.
And if you decide to upgrade it, we can make it a little 346 screamer!

I should, but I just can't push myself to run it without fixing it. If it blows, I will be pissed at myself.
