Nope, it's 100% quality Stink parts.![]()
still runs thoughPoorly
maybe he sent them to have jason rebuild ? sounds like a jmssaws jobNo pics, but this one's too good not to share.
Guy brings in 3 dead saws. He rebuilt them all with AM cylinders/parts. 365 and two 346's. Just triaged the 365 which he rebuilt with a big bore kit, plus an AM crank and bearings. Chunk missing out of the piston, and virtually no time on the saw since the rebuild. So, how many mistakes can a guy make when putting a saw back together?
1: How about no clamp on the intake boot!
2: Mixed up his hardware and used crankcase bolts for the cylinder. Crankcase bolts are 1/4" longer than the cylinder bolts, so they bottomed out in the case and the cylinder bolts that wound up in the case were so loose they allowed bar oil into the bottom end.
3: Overshot the flywheel seal and drove it all the way in.
4: Some thin wall yellow hose for an impulse line that was also leaking air.
Can't wait to get into the 346's.![]()
Hummmm....it always strikes me as very odd when folks have a go at something that they clearly seem not to really know enough about to get a successful outcome , be it a saw ....'Or 3 " !! .No pics, but this one's too good not to share.

Frightening what can happen if they make a bad mistake with machines !
My vote for farmer tech , since it's basically all China amHe more or less admited that Simon. Said he was good on his John Deere tractors but really didn't know enough about the "little stuff" Seems to have gotten the crank and bearings in OK. Crank wasn't centered, but a quick tap with a soft hammer and it's OK.
Thnig I'm not sure about is with an AM crank and bearings in a 21 year old saw, does it warrant an OEM top end, ($140), or should I just stick to his original olan and put a Farmer Tec kit on there for $100 less. He's more concerned about his 346's, and this 365 isn't going to see heavy use.
But I'd let him decideMy vote for farmer tech , since it's basically all China am

Like you say above " let him make the call".."Calls"in the end . 3 saws needing (or in theory needing) 1 full top and bottom on the 365 and whatever on the 346 's ...what do you put that down to . Not easy by any means if someone else has been in there I know . Only thing strikes me with the ..rebuild situation /OEM/AM or not at all ....is the condition of the rest of the saws. He may not really know how good or bad the 346's are and if there viable to spend coin on. You will of corse know but I am wondering if he may not be a fan of the newer saws , hence the efforts to get the 3 fixed.He more or less admited that Simon.

It will be your fault if he gets it wrong of corse DaveA guy brought me a ms250 and had used.
The green anti kink medical grade oxygen hose.
As fuel line lol
He blue siliconed it to the carb and it was pouring fuel that hose has flutes through the length of it for rigidness.
So he heated it with a cigarette lighter to get it round.
He trashed the kill switch drilling out the fuel tank the wire got caught in the drill bit lol
I showed his wife the huztl website to order the complete handle and a carb.
And told him to stop at a dealer for the fuel line.
All this because he didn't want to pay 11-14.00 for a fuel line.
He wants to fix it himself so i just showed them where to get part's.
I did show him how to tear down the saw but i doubt it's going to go well lol
