Cleaning out at my in-laws farm and ran across this stash. Looks to be enough parts for 1 full saw, maybe 2? Not sure how collectible these are. Assuming not much. Just don’t want to see it trashed if someone could use it. 3 bars, 3 tanks, 3 cylinders, only 2 lower ends…And a bunch of other...

Anyone have the initial carb settings for a Dolmar 5105? Is it 1 turn out on both jets? Background. Picked the saw up lightly used and I could not get this to tune at all so I was all over with the high and low jet. I thought I had an air leak. Turns out the air filter did not have the vent...

I have an 044 that I have been fighting for some time. For the life of me, I can not get it to idle (stay running). Here is what I have done so far. Cylinder was off and cleaned transfer from scored piston. New OEM piston and rings. New seals on both bearings. Put together, pressure and...

This just rolled in as a barn find. Was told to take a look at it and see what I thought. I really don’t think much of it. Seems big and heavy, but looks to be in fairly good shape. Haven’t done anything yet but pull it over. It’s free and has some compression. Have pulled the plug or...

Hello. I am working on an early 044 that scored the piston and cylinder. Going back together after replacing piston and seals with OEM. Now I have a leak on the PTO side between the crank and the oil pump bushing. It's bubbling out that small crevice at about 5 psi. Trying to figure out how...

Hello, Relatively new to rebuilding saws. My FIL asked me to take a look at his Husqvarna 350 that wasn’t running correctly. Well it was scored pretty bad so I popped for a meteor piston and cylinder to replace. New aftermarket bearings and seals on the crank. Went back together with...

Hello, Looking for some opinions. I bought an early 044 a couple of years ago. It was an impulse buy. Didn’t need it, but well you guys know how it is. Anyway, the saw sat longer than I intended and I’m finally getting around to it. It runs ok, but I wasn’t satisfied so I decided to take a...

What do you do when someone brings you saw that they say don’t run. You notice that the saw are relatively new, but dirty, with a bar and chain the need serious attention? my SIL just brought me 2 husky 450 saws saying they don’t run. Picked the first up, confirmed it had gas, put the choke...

When was the 353 last produced? The reason I ask is I was walking thru a store yesterday and they had a brand new 353 on display. I should have checked the DOM on the saw, but was in a hurry. they also had a 576xp and a Stihl 461 sitting on the shelves.

Question: If the stock settings on a carb are 1 turn out each. What would you assume to be in the normal operating range for a stock saw? I always thought you would want to be pretty close to the 1 turn on both screws and then maybe a 1/4 to a third turn in if needed and then maybe up to a...

Recently purchased an 044. It appears that one of the recoil bolts is wrong since the bolt head won’t fit in the counter sink. Lower right when looking at the recoil. Does anyone have the correct part number for this?

Looking for some touch up paint for some of my Jonsereds. I have a 2171 and 2159 that need to be touched up on the front of the case. What do you guys use? Is there a specific color number (RAL # or similar)? Where do you get it from? A spray can would be awesome.

I know I can buy a new one, just curious if anyone has one that they want to part with. Shoot me a pm with a picture and cost if you have something.

Does anyone on here use a 3 point winch? What brand do you have? What do you like about it? Dislike? Any specific brands to stay away from? I'm probably going to be buying one (new) sometime over the next year and have done some research on-line, but its all company marketing and I don't...

I have a couple of saws that I'd like to have some work done on. one needs a rebuild or minimally some maintenance that is beyond what I'm comfortable with. any suggestions? my local dealer will just change plugs and fuel lines. Both saws are Jonsered. I have a 2159 in need of major help...

I have looked at both these saws and the Jonsered equivalents. What is the difference? Is it different porting in the cylinder or different carb jetting? Could someone make the 555 into a 562xp? What would be needed? Just trying to understand the $100 to $150 price difference. To the end...
