Husqvarna 350 / 346xp cylinder options comparison video is up!

[Red97]

both the oem and the kafar kit saws run fine

Video or it never happened...

Lol

 

[Mattyo]

oem and kafar kit saws have brandy new chains on, fluids drained, and are ready for the gtg. ...

i'll likely be hitting up NY state gtg first, so they will get first crack at these

I'll ask them to not post any conclusions until after the ct gtg

 

[Mattyo]

ha, no vid, otherwise you will get a look at what saws are what. this is a pseudo blind test. I can assure you, the saws have been disguised well enough for most people to not know which is which

 

[idiotwithasaw]

I'm interested to see your results.

Me too

uk kit saw... just a teaser

 

[Mattyo]

ok, maybe a few more....

 

[Mattyo]

Ok...just for completeness. ..I tore into my hyway saw...I found line on the piston....so I figured I'd put a new ring in and shine up the cylinder. Here is what it looks like

 

[Mattyo]

Yes. ..the above pics is the saw from last year's gtg that everyone liked. Porting is darn close to what I did to the other saws of the bunch. But here's the new twist.

Let's put my hyway cylinder combustion chamber next to the new hyway cylinder Bruce sent me a couple months ago.

Old



New

Keep in mind...I did not cut squish band on the old one. Both of these cylinders are supposedly hyway cylinders but from different years and different sources.

Anyone care to comment?

 

[Keith Gandy]

The older one looks to have a cut squish and the new one not

 

[Mattyo]

I assure you...I did not cut squish...but you are exactly right. A very wide band ....stock.

Smaller combustion chamber

 

[Mattyo]

Yup...

Here's another pic to ponder...

 

[Mattyo]

Notice on the exhaust side transfer tunnel...looks like something has been rubbed off.

 

[Mattyo]

 

[Mattyo]

On the flywheel side is a similar rub on both cylinders. No marks on the cylinders say hyway. But....

 

[Keith Gandy]

Cylinder extensions on the side have been lowered

 

[drf256]

The old Hyway should give more comp from what I'm seeing.

 

[Mattyo]

I lowered the extensions and did quite a bit of grinding on all the cylinders.

But yes...the old cylinder does give more comp than any of the new ones. quite a bit more in fact.

Problem is...I can't speak to the new hyway cylinder....haven't used it yet.

Looks like your going to need another 350 to build Matt!!!
