Digging through a box of junk parts, came across this 372 crankshaft, the clutch side has been damaged, in your opinions is it damaged beyond use? I fit an e-clip on it, tried to spin it around to see if it would pop off and it didn't, but that isn't to say it won't at 8-10k rpm.

Does crankshaft from Husqvarna 340,345,350 and Jonsered 2141, 2145, 2150 fit on 346xp?

Some shop sites say that it fits, some say that i doesnt.

Run it. I've got saws that look like that that have gone years without issue.

Hit it with a few tack welds and clean it up with a Dremel? Id try that before tossing it.

Sounds good, the crank is in really good shape otherwise!!

I have a welder now, will have to practice some before I make it even worse

NO. Plastic saw crank does not fit mag case saw.

Fit the e clip on and shove some JB Weld on it . Call it a day.. Heat the glue if uninstall is needed lol.

They are not the same. Gap between two bearings is not the same. Wel…if you can machine it.

So I got all new seals and gaskets for this 440 ..
Do I use any sealant on the case and cylinder mating surfaces or are the seals enough?

On my clamshells with my Stihls and Poulan, I just use sealant on the cylinder mating surfaces since that is where the potential air leak will be.

The huskys have a runner type seal that fits into the groove on the bottom of the cylinder... I'm just not sure if sealants actually needed or maybe it's a good idea for some added insurance?

Some new goodie’s, for a old school sweety,

 

[GerbrandR]

Just came across this creature. It's a 181, but it's a weird thing.





No bar studs, strange 'air filter', weird handles, extra holes in the case on the front and more...

Anybody seen anything like this before?

That's definitely interesting
Looks like the invention of "air injection" !
