The site has been hurting for build threads lately, so I thought I would document what is a standard job for a dealer. We all know how failure prone the intake clamp is on the 340/345/350/351/353/346/357/359 and this is what it takes to replace one on the "junk" saws.
Partially disassembled and initial cleaning.
First step is to remove the clutch.
