I'd be a buyer

Hi guys. Was just given a low hour (looks brand new) non-epa Husky 359 with scored piston. I have a good late model 357XP cylinder sitting on the shelf in my shop that I was contemplating porting out a bit and throwing on there with a meteor piston. I have been skimming through the threads...

I picked up a 55 parts saw today. Piston has light scoring through the exhaust but cylinder will likely clean up. I can pull it apart and assess if you are interested. Mike

The part number is still good, 503 51 31-01 Bailey's has this listed as a HVP still available?? $14.95 Should also fit 41, 45, 49 Huskys and some Partners...

Chainsawr World's largest inventory of Chainsaw Parts if you do not see it listed call him or email I would all but bet he has one. There are a few parts saws going through ebay right now, not sure how much you were looking to spend but that is a good option especially if you plan on...

I've had similar luck with Baileys. UPS ground takes all of a week. The USPS rate is always better to my door from Baileys and it only takes 3 days. As for fedEx...I was shipping about $300,000/yr with them through our company. We ship equipment all over the world for projects. Their rate...

Echo owns Shindaiwa, both are good machines, both are tried and true. The 770 I have drinks fuel..it is moving some serious air though. I am sure the others are fine machines too. Echo has an excellent reputation in the blower industry and is made in USA, that answers question for me. The...

Echo or Redmax for a blower. I have the 770 and as far as a blower goes it puts Jenna Jameson to shame. I've never tried a Stihl or Shindaiwa, their reputations speak for themselves of course. If specs are anything like they are with saws its about 75% BS anyhow. I have some landscaper...

The 46mm 55 top end bolts right on

You could relocate the pin for the ring..but seriously a cylinder can be had somewhat on the cheap...so long as it isn't that hens tooth 55 EPA. I would buy a parts saw, take a chance on the jug, sell the remaining parts. I just picked one up but the saw was nice enough to fix and baileys...

:jawdrop:Holy smokes man you really grinded that one:jawdrop: I love getting drunk and working on the saws...you live and you learn.:cheers:

All the 55's I worked on were single ring, traditional Husky center of intake...

I have seen OEM slugs and jugs going for decent prices on evil-bay. Seems everyone wants to throw those big bore kits on their 365. Just another option, I'd take OEM any day.

Some of those 55's are open port and some are closed. narrows your options a bit, make sure you know what you got before ordering. I usually try to buy a good used cylinder or take a chance on cleaning up one on an ebay parts saw before I go aftermarket. A ported aftermarket cylinder will...

I'd replace the case half before I tried the tig but both would work of course. Really your only option there.

Too lean = poor throttle response. Saw should also idle higher. Proper method to adjust the L would be go to where throttle response gets poor. Then richen it until throttle response is good. Adjust the idle screw so saw idles there. Put saw upside down, left, right, etc. If it loads up...

Yeah, I think if I did anything I would widen the ports. There really isn't that much room for improvement though. Probably easier to make a slight popup piston and run no gasket. I think I could lighten the piston substantially as well. They were runners out of the box...I guess we know why.

LOL no offense taken. I imagine it would flow good and be nice and loud without cover. I've never seen the 262 front cover. I'm guessing it's similar to the 261? I don't understand where the muffler gets more flow if the exhaust outlet is the same. I was shooting for 125-150% total >...

That is a stock 262 muffler. I do have a cover on mine.

I think mine is still fairly quiet but runs ok. There again I guess I'm comparing it to my 372 with a dual port. I don't think it will ever be that loud. I would try a 262 muffler if I could find one on the cheap. I guess I could open it up some more? I have another 261 that I bought that...
