Testing my 395XP at buddys cabin after felling rotten spruce. WCR- screw adjusted wide open.

359/357 help please. I thought it would be a little easier to make a video than to type a book out asking several questions. Thanks for your help!

It looks like someone has assembled 346 worm gear, reason why there is too much side to side play. There is significant difference in them, see picture below. 357 worm gear has small shoulder against crankshaft. I discovered this when I was building my first 357.

You need new metal clamp and intake boot, new small spline clutch and .325 7 pin sprocket and worm gear.

Some crack repairs today...
My neighbor gets bored and liked welding challenges, lol

266 clutch cover, 2100 tank that had separated in front.

 

[Woodwackr]

Have a few more, lol
Waiting for more 1/16" rod to show up...

I am in need of an oiler gear (worm) for a 181SE. I bought one from LRB, was supposed to be PN 503557501 but it didn't fit the crankshaft properly (I.D. too small) and it seems that the O.D. is too large to fit in the oil pump.

I've done a little more research and it looks like what I need is 501803001 but I'm hoping someone can confirm before I order something else that won't work.

I bet you have the small journal crank
501 80 30-01 is the bronze one
501 29 27-02, plastic
Same through early 288s

Grabbed this nice cosmetically looking 345 cheap the other day. Top end smoked, so it will be either put back stock, or I may go the route of the 346 top end. It was too nice on the outside to pass it up for what I gave for it.....

I have a 345 cylinder I think will clean up if you decide to go back with stock

Does this saw have an OEM or aftermarket top end?

 

[heimannm]

The 345 is a clamshell design, the 346 is a split crankcase with a bolt on cylinder. They are not interchangeable.

Not quite true, if you get a stock Husqvarna 350 cylinder base like the one pictured below you can run a 346/350/353 top end on a 345.

You can use the 350 riser block on the 345 and use the 346 cylinder

I've learned something, guess I can quit for today...

Bought the wrap handle because it was still available for an ok price.

The parts that help the handles at the bottom where come together and the aluminum chain stop. If you don't , please advise who may , help me in locating these parts,
