Hi all quick question, is the adjuster assy the same as a MK1 550 545 etc? Ta Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

This is perplexing me. My newly rebuilt 42 special is starting fine, idles well. Revs well and then suddenly leans out bogs and stalls if I don't feather if back to idle. I've replaced the tank vent and regardless I've ran it on the side with the cap off with the same issue. Tank is debri clean...

Guys, Is a decent looking smooth piston with 0.008" clearance to the 42mm cylinder too much sloppy slap?? I have just bought a nice looking OEM cylinder and piston, but the piston measures 41.74 at the skirt.... Hmm..... Should I run it or buy a meteor?

I am assuming I have debris in the vent as it leaks oil out of the vent when sat and down the clutch cover and into a nice little puddle. Other than emptying the tank during storage I cannot seem to get it to vent as it should, when stored. I have tried lightly rummaging inside it with a...

Looking for a knackered,scored,leaky 346/351/353 which still looks nice from the outside if ya get what I mean for a winter build in front of the fire :) Cheers guys

Anyone know without me actually going through the hassle of popping the cylinder off whether I can delete the base gasket. Is there room, so they have an excessive squish like the 372xp’s.. I am happy to measure etc just wanted to check if there is room without popping it all apart if it’s a...

So guys, any of you want some CAD files drawing up feel free to message me.. haha Not looking to advertise as this is just for fun really, more that I enjoy doing stuff like this and it breaks up my day at work. From what I use I can produce part files for 3D machining, 2D drawings etc. I...

Anyone know the bearing numbers for 346xp’s. Searching the SKF catalogue and need the number. Haven’t actually got the saw to hand to check sizes. Thanks in advance.

As the title suggests I may be in the hunt for a used ms261 crank if my engineering 'expertise' fails on my latest project.. Thanks!

Hi there, Does anyone know the diameter of these Stihl ms170/180 series tank vents? I have a 262xp over here in the UK that needs a new tank vent. Cannot find an OEM one here and a vent from over in the US is costing around $22 upwards... I can get these OEM Stihl ones for £5. And if they fit...

I am sat here at work looking on ebay (as you do) This bar popped up. It's an Oregon replaceable sprocket nose bar for £8 posted so far Just a bit of surface crap by the looks of it, maybe a rivit or two to replace.. What size is it (it isn't 29" as stated) and I have nothing in front of me...

I am looking for a way increasing compression on my 038 mag, already base deleted, had a sniff from somewhere and someone that the OEM 038 52mm's are domed to raise compression? my mag is an aftermarket ms380 meteor piston and flat topped.

As the title suggests, I have a 372xp, pulls a 20" lovely. I have deleted the base gasket and ground a couple of holes in the muffler bolt holes. It runs nice, but I notice that a lot of people remove the material on the cylinder skirt around the port transfers. How much better can this make...

Had these two beauties out today side by side. Two different generations and two very capable saws. I love them both, who else loves these two models of saws and why? I love the magnums never say never torque and build. I love the 372's super speed and feel and it's smooth sounding motor.

Hi Guys, I have now got bored with just fixing, selling, base gasket deleting and muffler modding saws and I have the following to tinker with.... An 038 mag that is now a semi redundant saw for me as I have a 362xp w/ 372xp top end, so i thought what better use this 038 than to port it.. I...

I have a 362xp with husky small mounts (same as a 254, 357, 359 etc) I now have a 372 quad port top end. Any idea if the mounts can be changed to husky large mounts? or are there collars or the like that can be put on the mounts to allow for a bigger 25" plus bar.. And also do the oil holes...

I have adjusted the metering lever to spec, still no joy, still floods on full choke. But it still starts fine if you miss the full choke procedure and works perfectly on all other accounts. Any suggestions as this is starting to bug me, as it is just not right..

So what is the difference between a 362xp and a 362xp special? I have picked up a 362xp special and have not even managed to look at it to see what makes it so special...

Can't find an OEM 038 mag cylinder to do some port work with, need a quality AM cylinder!
