Spring AV is just better on the hands, Stihl finally got the hint.

Also numbs the saw. Gives you a feeling of less control. To me at least.
I never noticed an issue with a rubber mount saw.

 

[dustinwilt68]

As a firewood cutter I don't either but most guys who cut for a living can tell a difference and like the spring, not saying all but most. Even my dad who used to cut for a living has come around to the spring AV, he still cuts more then a casual firewood cutter.

Me nether I've ran both stiles and and always preferred the rubber AV mounts.

Rubber mounts don’t seem to last as long as springs before they deteriorate from age and use in my experience

Very cheap and easy to replace though!

New 359 left. Old 351 right. Wonder wich one flows better

So this is stock. 359 is about 3ish mm larger. Really need a shoe horn to get it in. I exhausted my 4 and 5 letter vocabulary to the max but its in. I even drilled out the extra hole u need in the gasket in the carb kit. My buddy set me the tree mokey vid that is very good for noobs on how to rebuild the hda 199. Much thanks to everyone that has throw knowledge my way leading up to this part. Tomorrow im gonna start building a hot saw just kiddin

R u refering to the hole in the top lid? Cuz itook it if u drilled the extra hole in the gasket/diaprham the hole in the lid wasnt needed. This was a gray area in the vid. Lol! I got scared Wayne! I dont wanna drill a hole in the metal if i dont have to. This wAs a serious question i had coursing through my brain during install. All is not lost, it still can be done cuz the damn AF wire/ hanger/ keep it tight thingy didnt come with either the new filter holder or the filter...... this project is not done..

I watched the video again. I think you did it right.

The carb has an internal vent for the metering plate. If one uses a gasket without the tiny extra hole, the diaphragm can’t move and the saw leans out.

If the correct hole is in the gasket/diaphragm, there’s no need to drill the metal. But drilling the hole is cheap insurance and easy/safe to do.

Have no fear of putting a small hole in the lid as all you are doing is allowing the atmospheric pressure to act directly on the metering diaphragm as needed.
It will assist the internal hole that Scot shows needing to be unblocked if using the different diaphragm.
