What's on your bench?

2094

I thought maybe. It has some similarities to the 920/930.

Picked up a husky 350 with a scored piston the other day. Cylinder(aluminium transfer) cleaned up pretty nice...minus a slight vertical groove above the exhaust port....a new chinesium piston on the way. If the existing cylinder has problems I may look for a good used 346xp cylinder/piston...

Never worked on these little 350s before...any model specific input would be appreciated.

Mityvac it, update the inlet clamp to steel, support the muffler.
Great little saws otherwise.

2 all oem 200t complete builds coming soon, everything except for flywheel side crankcase.because I cannot find anyone with one, but mine are in excellent shape anyways.

Will do. Much appreciated. After its running the plan is to run it stock for a tank or so....then port the chit out of it.

My adapter for my 395 didn’t fit my 288 so I ordered metric tubing and made rings that fit over the bar studs. The tubing was pretty long so I have a lot of them if anyone wants some.

I could use a little.
TIA

Remind me in the CNC building tomorrow ;-)

Scabbed together some shelving for my mill stand/cart, mostly organization for tooling and cutting fluids.

Also getting flywheel off a ChiCom clone of a 543xp was quite the ordeal. Usually I can get these off with a light tap and no puller. I had to make a puller for this one and then use heat and a heavy hand to get it to pop off. I'm pretty sure the timing came fubar'ed straight from one of Poohbear's factories...I'll play with it some more tomorrow.

I've still gotta force the flywheel off to replace the fw side seal, but the powertrain is back together and she's looking sharp!

I always have something on my bench but rarely anything too interesting to post here. But today I was going through an ugly duckling 266se and found something I haven't come across before. What size fuel line grommet do you suppose goes in that large "custom" fuel line hole in the top of the tank?

I’d jb weld the hole and drill a new hole over the jb weld, fit a nice snugged normal fuel line threw?

Yea , that’s a custom job.

That's what I'm thinking. Shame to throw away a good tank because of something like that. Here is what was installed for a grommet when I took the saw apart. Yes it leaked like a sieve. I guess it was just too muck to ask to get the proper grommet from Husqvarna - nope, gonna drill out this $200 tank and fixr my own way. Watch this!

 

[CJ Brown]

That is the fuel line bellows that is supposed to install in the crankcase. I wonder why Husky didn't think of using it as a tank grommet?

Just finished building this, and running the fool out of it. Great saw, lots of power for its size. New from the inside out! There’s a few used parts for sure but all the major components are new. Sachs Dolmar 143. 95cc’s. I built this one with a metal tank so it’s a bit heavier than its brother with the plastic tank. It’s prettier than a plastic tank I think. I’ll have one with a plastic tank up shortly. Pretty saw hope you like.

Excellent job bringing that old saw back to "like new" condition.

Any, particularly size ?

I actually did try that route, but met with failure. The hole is so large there is no lip on one side - just a wall so there is nothing from a grommet to "bite" on that side of the hole (near the wrap handle). I'm thinking JB Weld like @JD22 suggested as my next plan of attack.

Husqvarna has been doing a lot to piss me off lately. I mean jb weld or even plastic weld would do the trick I believe. Like plastic weld a strip of plastic at the top maybe about 1/16in thick or thicker and drill a hole and fit a grommet. I’ve done it that way many times and it worked great.
