Husqvarna 350's "Tech Talk" (Saw Geeks Interested In these 350's ONLY!)

It will be like watching PAINT dry for most of you...... I pick over some parts, define differences & check squish & port timing on... (boring) Stock cylinders... 350 and 346's

I absolutely love my 350

Excellent video. My local shop rebuilt a 345 with the larger jug and a flat top piston, all factory parts. They called it a 353 build. I called it a good deal and picked up the saw for $165. After seeing you test squish with solder wire, I'm thinking about checking mine. The shop probably used the factory base gasket, and I had to buy an updated exhaust gasket after the muffler kept loosening. Thanks for the info and tips.

I'm getting surprising power @ 86 EX with a Meteor 45mm kit. Compression 6.8:1 about to move it to 7.8:1

Cut three full turns out of the metering lever spring. It makes throttle response alot beter

On the stihl

Great video! Question: How would you bring the blowdown on the 350 cylinder to match the 346xp? 350-> 22 and 346xp -> 18. Would you raise the transfers or lower the exhaust? Oh, and do you prefer Intake duration around 78?

Thanks for the video. I am new to chain saws. I have a bone stock Husqvarna 350. It seems to be a decent saw, compared to the craftsman and poulans I have sporadically worked with in the past. I was wondering if there was something special about the 350 or was this just the model you wound up with more than one or two to tinker with? Thanks!

Why mess with the spark/port timing if your goal is just to raise the compression? You can simply fill the piston (either it’s dished or flat) with a mig/tig, lathe it and set the compression as you like.

GO right ahead...the entire point is there are many ways to skin a cat.

Way my 350 floats the silinder help please

[@lawnmowerman1271]

Hi mate. How what number did you use to get the blow down. I see you measured the timing but what to do with them is what I'm not sure on? Could you give me guidance? Or if so email me? Cheers mate

[@afleetcommand]

Blow down is the time from when the exhaust opens to when the transfers open. You can see the transfers on the XT's by pulling the caps. ACTUALLY that saw ended up needing a change as the x-sectional area of the transfers was cut down too much....so ended up down in the 14-16 degree range. Sometimes those small blow down numbers are simply about getting x-sectional area BACK after dropping the cylinder...:)
