Husqvarna 357xp auto decomp repair and intake repair sorta

In this video I'll go through and repair a faulty husqvarna 357xp automatic decomp. I attempt yo fix the intake but realized I had the wrong parts.
thanks for watching.

[@markmacdonald6452]

There is an updated intake boot available from Husqvarna. Or Just cut the plastic clamp part off the original intake boot. Clean it up and use the metal clamp to reassemble. I’ve done it on a couple saws, works great.

What promotes a good ring seal to make power & prevent blow by into the future....Gas pressure! How do we achieve that? Rpm & load. Idling a recently built saw is the opposite of what is required. 'Heat cycling' is a term from an old era where tolerances in parts were nowhere near what they are today. If a part is to fail it will do so wether or not you 'heat cycled' the saw. After a short brief warm up get that thing into good size wood @WOT. U will end up with a saw that makes more power and compression. Don't want to upset anyone...but its the truth.

[@johncoleman2495]

Can't wait to see more with this saw. These and the 346xp are 2 of my favorite hotrod saws! They respond to mods very well and in my opinion this is the best 60cc class saw until the 562 came along. And I know there's a bunch of people that disagree, but these can easily best the beloved 262xp!

[@HairlipButcher]

357... also an amazing gun caliber!👌💪

[@SCouch-cw6je]

Love the 357!! I have a mean 359 I just rebuilt and modified and mildly ported. Power to weight ratio in these saws are my favorite!! I love the 3 series hisqvarnas

[@DavidBergman1776]

346xp 359 372 395 3120... You can do anything with that lineup! :))) Wish I had more of those than I do

[@SCouch-cw6je]

@@DavidBergman1776 I have 4-346, 2-359, 2-365 specials, 4-372 two xtorq two non and a 390. 3 series are easy to work on and run great stock

Little big saw. You are going to love it.

[@jasonmercer9962]

Glad to see that you found the decomp issue and that the 357 has good compression. Can’t wait to see it in the wood.

[@aaronpowell4885]

Such a sweet little saw👍🏻 good find, on that auto decomp line👀 heck it's not uncommon for me to tear down a brand new saw! Just to check it out🤪

[@robertsmith7580]

I'm gonna have to keep my eyes open for one of those 357xp !

[@tdawg8605]

Always cool delving into a new adventure. Great stuff as always. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@markstrand7957]

Now your cooking 357/359 are great saws and you can get parts! My 262 xpg is great saw But can’t take to tree job. damage saw it’s done. 357 has small 095 mount. My issue is 562xpg has D009 mount not the same! What you should try is get 359 with no stuffers And see if you can get it to out perform 357!

[@charlespeacock8360]

Bought a 562 convinced I would sell my trusty 359. Could not bring myself to do it; ain't gonna. That 357 looks like a lot of fun too. Thanks

[@takeashawnoutdoors5518]

I received a new to me, 257. That I have been looking for a long time. 2 days after you received your 357. They were great saws for firewood.

[@RMosher11]

I just picked up a 359 for a 100 bucks. Guy shot it with a parts cannon. Replaced the cylinder, piston, carb, fuel line, fuel filter and spark plug. It wont start but will pop with fuel directly in the carb. I'm betting impulse line. I'll be watching what you do with this saw closely. Looking forward to more Tinman!

[@johncoleman2495]

Check the carb for a vent in the diaphragm cover as tinman mentioned. Seen it be a problem many times. And as Tinman mentioned, afleetcommand has a saw college video where Bob(spike60) shows the carb issue in detail. (Search afleetcommand 357xp)

[@ben-me9jy]

Thanks for that info! I plans on braking down any new saw I get either new or used! Great format glad you are feeling better!

[@RocklandRednecks]

Love the 357XP we have an old 257 on the farm too, awesome saws. Look forward to the comparison to the 562xp. Going to end up with a 562xp soon enough I hope its as good as the 357xp.

[@naturundhund]

Ich habe seit 12 Jahren die 359 , ist Baugleich mit der 357 Nur mehr ccm und weniger PS.

[@johncoleman2495]

These saws are definitely screamers! Like a bigger 346xp....and if it was me, I'd go with an OEM top end even if it needs one. The meteor is about the same money and although 1mm bigger bore, no match for the stock one from the factory. And I've not been able to match the OEM cylinder ported either. (Both ported)

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Thanks for all these great insights, Tinman! Can't wait to get into my 357 and check it out!👍

[@richardguidotti8595]

Trust me on this exhaust 104, intake 76 👌💪 open the lowers a bit, leave the uppers.

[@rob066101]

Auto decomp and plastic intake the demise of many 357s . The plastic intake clamp has been used many husqvarna and jonsered saws and were their demise. When I run into this I change the whole partition and clamp and call it good. Walbro 199 is the problematic carb.

[@Cholton327]

Awesome dude. I like your style mate🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@julianalderson3938]

Like the 357xp

[@johncoleman2495]

You can cut the tabs off and reuse the intake and bellows. I've seen it done and most times it worked but a couple I've seen leaked. The kit to upgrade all 3 parts is cheap and the route I always go. I plug the decomps exactly the same way! Although I've always used yamabond as a thread sealer.

[@DaveyBlue32]

Pretty hilarious when you just plop your old size 15 onto the top cover as your big old dogs definitely aren’t slipping into your real handle area!!!! Ahahaaa!!! Thought that was my move!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@tinmanssaws]

The only way my feet fit in the handle is if they are bare

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Another great video as usual brother. Keep up the good work.

Hello everyone

[@justinweaver8107]

Hope all is well buddy

[@GavinEarnshaw]

My 2002 357xp has manual decomp and metal boot clamp. So maybe it has had the upgrades.

[@T_Goff]

I have a later model 357xp since brand new (2008). Manual decomp, carb has a vent hole, and metal clamp on the intake. Maybe Husky fixed issues on later years of this saw?

[@henrymorgan9797]

Why do you pull the cord as you turn it off?

[@sweetpea2627]

When the motor slows to a speed that lets the starter pawls lock back into the pulley it turns the starter the wrong way and puts stresses on all the parts, pulling the rope out gives slack in the system and less wear to your saw,

[@wilkey40]

Every new saw to me I just do a complete break down then do a complete cleaning then sand blast the cylinder and piston and rebuild

[@Steve_K_MS660]

It is possible that the reason the crankcase was so black is that the decomp was leaking while running. So it would be cycling exhaust in with the fuel air mixture causing it to run lean. I believe Tin-Man pointed out that it was lean in the last video on this saw. The auto decomp was operated by crankcase vacuum I would hazard a guess that it was stuck open with carbon(I have replaced decomp’s on many hot saws over the years for that reason) causing the power stroke and exhaust to vent into the crankcase. I hope this explanation helps anyone in the comments that is new to two cycle engines.

[@olefugle]

The metal clamp works with a corresponding intake/impulse plastic part. It’s sold as a kit

[@larrywarner9314]

You can cut that plastic clamp off and use a intake boot clamp from a 371 or 372 will work ,

[@kristopherdavis4764]

You are correct, I personally use Roadformer narrow band hose clamps.

[@eugenecunningham491]

How's it going if it starts it works that's all it needs to do

[@jamesmorgan1024]

I had a model 61 back when I had switch problems until one time I took it in the guy took the switch out and I said could I see that and I noticed it was not sealed I asked is there a seal switch in another saw sure enough and the problem was gone

[@julianalderson3938]

Yer gona buy one old but looks good.

[@justinweaver8787]

I to want a 357xp 4sure

[@mikecook2714]

Or more ?

[@quadvloggs6876]

All you do with the intake block and the new clamp is you remove the rubber and trim the plastic clamp portion away and then the new clamp just squeezes on the rubber boot

[@Witschor]

Never seen a Decomp like that!

[@NPC-mk7ng]

what is the deal with pulling the starter while shutting off the saw? 🤔

[@jameswilson322]

It saves on the recoil and cord , when u shut the saw off it pulls backwards on the string , pulling it out a bit gives it a little room to go backwards. I think , never tried it
