I finally got the Husqvarna 350 going....
I bought this pile of junk were somebody had tried to fix and lost parts, cylinder gone etc.
What probably destroyed the saw was the plastic clamp on the intake on the left letting in air causing a lean condition scoring the piston/cylinder. I upgraded with metal on the right from a Stihl 034.
I put a new 346xp cylinder/piston on with the moderations to the case etc.
Upgrade the muffler with a brace, drilled holes in the studs, wired and crimp. These studs can back out causing thread damage, lean running condition and possibel case damage. With the intake and muffler upgraded it should be better than new (about bullet proof). Why Husqvarna doesn't do this I don't know.
The Husqvarna 346xp NE is one of the fastest saws stock as it is rated 14700 rpms max (example Stihl MS260 13000 max) I tuned it to 14400 rpm. It is a screamer.
While I was at it I lined eight up which didn't take much more time and rebuilt/refurbished, pressure/vaccuum tested, upgrade/done moderations and then electronically tune. Anybody else like fixing junk?
