That’s a nice saw, looks like you weren’t pushing it to hard. I think it has a beast within ready to be unleashed.

@Matt DigginNH they are definitely growing on me. Never dealt with one until I got the 346xp. Honestly I was blown away at how they run. 👍🏻

@Darin Ritter It's definitely growing on me!!! For me and what I want it for, I hit a sweet spot, she's pretty dang sporty, and still has plenty torque for a great work saw.

I picked up a 359 recently that had a bad impulse for 100 bucks. Gotta replace the seals too. Also looks like someone swapped a 357xp crank in it also. Excited to see how she runs
@novicelumberjack Жыл бұрын
Hmm...I wonder if the 357 crank would give it more power. Should just make it snappier.
@RMosher11 Жыл бұрын
@@novicelumberjack Yeah that's my impression too. Should be a fun little saw. Think when it's done I'm going to give it to a friend of mine who cuts firewood with a 450 rancher

I had a not so desirable experience with my worked 359, but it came out ok. A circlip came out or broke when running the saw, and it resulted in about a one-sixteenth inch wide perfect looking straight incision going up the cylinder wall to near the combustion chamber, well deeper than the plating. It bummed me out because I had modded the cylinder, milled the base and all, so I feared no longer unusable with the compression loss and whatnot. The solution was filling the slot with some JB weld and smoothing it flat after it dried. I wouldn't have thought it would hold, but heavy use since and the saw runs real well as before the damage.

It definitely needs it. My buddy's very mildly ported and muffler modded 359 is as fast as or faster than my 562xp. So yeah, this one here is tremendously limited.

I split the can on mine and removed the divider and it woke it up. Base gasket delete and a little clean up on the cylinder and it’s my go to saw now

Definitely lucked out on that one👍🏻 smooth runner, bout perfect for soft hands Steve😅 Really does sound constipated to me. A muffler mod should really help it out!

359 owner! I dont now what to say but i dont recognise the perormans compared to mine. Maybe because mine is the older version whitout katalysator. I seems yours is boggin down a lot.

Yah my 359 was about the same in stock form , not great , not bad , just meh . I sent it to rich dugen who ported it, totally different saw now , pulls a 28" no problem, i do wish it oiled a little better though , barely enough for the 28 " .
