Husqvarna 357xp hybrid build

[SHOVELHEAD]

Jim,
When you go through this again will you be posting & sharing pics?
I would be, as I'm sure others would like to know the timing degrees.
What other carb do you have in mind?
Do you feel the 199 is @ its limits?
It looks like from the pics you shared that the Stihl intake boot, along with the intake track was a go combination.
& everything fit under the hood nicely.
Did you ever have any pics of the peened muffler?
Thanks

I'll probably have to get some more pics of the muffler and whatnot next time I'm into it. We'll see about those timing numbers too.
The 199 on it isn't at its limit yet, but it will be...eventually.

 

[SHOVELHEAD]

With the 361 having to be peened to fit are there other choices that would fit the cylinder bolt pattern and give the saw the OEM look?
Maybe an older J-Red?

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

There are so many different mufflers out there that there must be a good match. Something should eventually pop up. I'm going to build another one and I'll dig through my neighbors garbage if that's what it takes to find a direct fit. Lol

 

[SHOVELHEAD]

I wonder if a 2171 would fit?

Ok so after Digging around I have a muffler that fits the case.

But will it bolt to the cylinder?

Anyone know what the bolt spacing is for the 272XP Cylinder is?

The Muffler is from the following saws
HUSQVARNA 435 440 445 450 JONSERED CS2245 CS2250 Part# 544 14 77 02
Thanks

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I'll get a measurement when I get a chance.

Did @old guy ever finish his Build?

 

[old guy]

No, lost interest in it, put the 357 back together.
Did a pop up piston in a 372

@Chainsaw Jim
I should have ask before ordering a piston from @Mastermind,
What was the reason behind using the Stihl Piston?
Thanks

I think it was just a matter of what I had on hand at the time. I'm not remembering at the moment.

 

[old guy]

If I remember, the Stihl piston was used because it had same size piston pin as the 357, the 272 piston uses a larger pin.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I believe the 272 pin is 12mm. I might have also thought it was 13mm at the time.
I don't have a 272 piston to measure, but the ipl shows the same wrist bearing for it and the 372.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

272xp piston wrist pin is a 12mm

@Chainsaw Jim
Jim is there any chance you can replace the crank seals in the Hybrid & run it again for all of us.

I especially, would like to see it run against a stock or near stock 357 or 2156.
Using the same bar & chain and same log.
Maybe 3 fast cuts back to back
for each saw.
So we can see the time difference between them.

I really think all of us here on OPE would love to see that 357xp Hybrid again.
Thanks

I will as soon as I can get some seals. This is as close as I can get until then. The 357 in the first video has a mild port job.
