Hello! I wonder if there are any possible advantages with a richer than "nominal" oil-to-fuel-mixture such as, e.g., 3% instead of 2%. I seem to have understood that some people use richer mixture (including myself) but now I am wondering what the possible (if any) advantages are? I sort of...

So - I have bought a 10 year or so old "toasted" Husky 357xp for very little just to have something to pretend I am a mecha- nic a little with ... . Now when I am hoping saw is getting ready for use I was thin- king of changing the clutch drum to a Oregon 108565X with a large sprocket fit in...

Both Stihl and Husky Zama carbs proudly states "CHINA" on them ... and have done so for several years ... .

NO - unfortunately not - but there is a small company in my nearest bigger city which specializes in "triples" http://www.ebos.se/ - and I have planned to buy one for a long time (as a lot of other stuff as well :) ) - but hopefully it will hap- pen before I get too old - who knows :) ... ...

Like a Husky 576xp I suppose (which is a pretty bulky saw - quite high, for example) - still one of my favorites (have two of the very first model made) - the Stihl bar looks long- er than maximal recommended by Stihl 32" I suppose????

Thanks - that's a lot of weight if it is just the motor head ... . As for the power figures, I have seen those seriously critizied somewhere and have also written about it at another forum - but I have forgot the details - 13hp is about 50% more hp/ displacement unit than modern saws, after all...

Yes - let me explain myself here - of course the weight in itself of a 3120xp is no problem for a well-built bloke like myself :) - please do not misunderstand me there :) - it is the fact that the tip of my 3120xp hangs down like 40 degrees or so which makes it impossible to carry it at normal...

The most roll over inclined Husky is the 346xp I suppose, still many people think that it is one of the best saws ever maid :) ... . And outbord clutch (inboard sprocket) is me- chanically better than the opposite :) ... . Just the (void of fluids) 3120xp motor head is big as a full size...

Yeah - you are right - I have an older longer 125 page workshop manual also for multiple Husky saws - seems to be same thing there - says something only about tank vent test "Use gauge 502 50 37-01 to measure vacuum. Readings should be as follows: the vacuum should increase from 30 to 15 within...

I looked at spare parts list at http://www.husqvarna.com/se/support/ and found this parts lists for older Husqvarna 350 saw http://cdn.husqvarna.com/ddoc/HUSI/HUSI2004_AAaa/HUSI2004_AAaa_350_2004-03.pdf I don't know which screws and threads it is about - possibly those with parts number 503...

Before I got myself threading equipment I just went to (for example) a plumbing store to borrow a plumbing threading tap (BSP thread - not the most common th- ing you find at supermarkets etc) - no problems - they almost seemed to appreciate someone were asking for such kind of stuff ... :) .

If threads are gone - why don't rethread them M6 (instead of M5 as I suppose they originally were) - just drill out the worn M5-threads with 5 mm drill and rethread with M6-tap (and change bolts from M5 to M6 :) )? Well I am sure you know this already (if it is a good recipe...) :) .

What is "cylinder adapter"? (I have some strange kind of "plumbing" running on the outside of the cylinder of my 357xp (project) - is that it?) Or is it just the fit of the cylinder to the crank house? Edit: I think I have figured out what it is now - it is some sort of "distance" between...

So - now I have bought it - 26 GBP = 350 SEK - the Meteor 357xp pirate piston that is ... .

Thanks for the information - I will buy the Meteor then :) ... . Good luck with your 350 repair ... .

Orginal OEM 357xp piston costs 85 EUR - too much ... . The piston in above advertisement costs 30-35 EUR ... much better ... . Just from visual comparison that seems to be same piston as offered by well-reputed Swedish pirate part seller for less than 20 EUR - HERE...

I tripped over this scientific (?) report on "Long Term Repair and Maintenance Cost of some Professional Chainsaws" ...

Here are pictures of my Huskies - 10 of them here and another one that doesn't work as of presently here I also have Stihl saws, but them people doesn't Steal so they can be stored safely in the garage/outhouse sort of ... .

I have several .404 chains - I think they are nice even on not so very big saws - but most likely I am wrong as usual --- .

I gave my newly fixed 346xp a new Sugihara blade and chain to award it for having had so much patience with my would be mechanic attempts ... . However - this came much harder than expected as it turned out the Sugihara blade had 0,5 millimeter dia- meter or so too small holes for the bar...
