Husqvarna 350 chainsaw top tips for rebuilding and modifying

Awesome video, first one I've watched from you I will be checking out the rest.

Hello! I'm a fellow Connecticutian, of the South Eastern variety. Glad to m have found your channeI. I am about to pull the trigger on a 350. The seller said ran yesterday, not so much today. He's asking 100 but I'm not so,sure its worth that. If I asked im sure you'd say it's worth what I'm willing to pay. So I won't ask. The real reason for my comment is that I'm hoping you can clarify what you mean by squish. Thanks. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I noticed the cylinder from HiWay that the cylinder wall looks like it comes up even with the base of the cylinder at the transfer ports. On the Huztl cylinder the cylinder wall is about 5/8" below the base, and then about another 1/2" to the transfer ports. I guess a semi-open port? Also on the Huztl cylinder it has removable side covers over the transfer ports for access, so at the base when I was porting mine to match the bearing cap I accidentley ground through. A very small area about 1/32" by 1/4" next to the edge of the cover plate. I'm going to try patching with JB Weld (good to 600*) and push the gasket and cover plate down over the spot. Or I guess I could weld it with some these propane aluminum welding rods???

350 is an awesome saw.

Do you have the Husqvarna part number for the updated metal band?

Great video!! Great information!! Thank you

I know this is a older video. Just from what I've found in rebuilding old poulan clamshells I've used both 1184 and permitex ultra blackasket maker and the ultra black seems to be better because of it being thicker and not as thin I would recommend both and ultra black for a clamshell over 1184 becauseof the thicker gasket maker material. Don't get me wrong 1184 is a damn good sealant and works just as good if not better. For someone who hasn't ever used 1184 and is rebuilding a clammy style saw I would recommend ultra black over 1184 because 1184 seems to be a tedious gasket sealer.

I just bought a good running stock one from 1998 very good shape but bar was burned off from trying to cut stumps with it… after seeing all this im going to have to go look these things over kinda annoying but oh well i am not going to tear it down to seal all these spots up until it decides to chew the piston up then i will rebuild it properly with all this involved. But also built with a big bore kit too next time.

I enjoyed it, well done. 👍👍

Hi Matt. Thanks for the video. I bought a pretty descent 350 for $25 at a garage sale. After replacing a couple of missing parts and changing the diaphragm, it starts but dies. It's obviously lean with an air leak. I'm going to reseal the crankcase and replace the plastic clamp. Is it worth replacing the crank seals at the same time? Are there aftermarket seals that are good quality that you recommend?

I'm rebuilding a 345 putting new bearings and seals what's the best way to put the metal clips back on the seals

Hey Matt, thanks so much for you video it has helped me so much! But..... I'm rebuilding a husky 350 the new piston has 2 rings ( kit was piston , rings, cylinder) I cant seem to get piston to go into the cylinder fully. I compress the rings and they slide into cylinder but it will only go in about 1/4 inch then it stops and gets stuck. Any thoughts?

Good video, bud! Thanks for sharing your tips. Your camera and lighting look good too... I tried a couple and my videos looked aweful ... Hands shake to much... It bothers me watching so I'm sure I'd get fifty million negative jackwagons busting my stones. I really need to get more degree wheel study under my belt so I can get into those transfers... I got plenty of time the only little 90% I saw that looks like it could work for me is almost $400 bucks.... I'm a hobby guy... Not a pro... Great video, again, thanks!

Do you have a video on installing metal clamp on intake carburator boot?

Great info, thank you

Thanks . Good video. I'm the one who was messaging you

That muffler bracket needs to be cut down on the 340 too.

Damm no wonder Iam having troubles w my carb the clamp I did reversed.

Amazing

Waoo modification if you are engineer right, make sure what do you do because can burn easily.
