The basterd saw......Thank god its twin is gone.........

I've gotta stick up for the poor basterd 335, coz there's something there you guys are missing! Now, the 335 has two unbelievable design faults that affect the whole saw and how it runs. First off, the muffler is outrageously stifled from the factory, and, to go with it, the tank breather system is all stifled to hell too.
Easily fixed! There's a caged beast lurking under those orange covers itching to be released. What ya do is remove the engine from the case to get at the breather outlet. Dig out the outer plug and remove the restricting inner plug. Simple. Next, unbolt the muffler, grab a pair of pliers and tear off the small exhaust deflector, then drill two more outlet holes, one either side of the stock outlet. Done!
Bolt her all back together, fire it up, tweak the hi/lo's to compensate the change - and feel the kick of extra power for yourself. Now it'll run like it was supposed to run, easily matching the much praised 200's response and grunt, with the bonus of superior anti-vibe and a nicer ergonomic handle(no bulky air filter housing crocking your wrist at bad angles)
The basterd saw becomes a good basterd! Forget tachos and 4-stroking too, tune her to howl, the motor's super-reliable and damn near indestructible, the XP tag ain't just decoration. Only trouble is, (Lake'll hate this), sadly, your 200's will likely now be the ones queued up for the 'get rid of' basket...

The tank breather problem was fixed along with all the other 35 or more Husky service issues that this model had......I got a huge list from a great Husky dealer (spike60) and he helped me through the major issues with this model....

Well, I don't have a 15" bar for that one - but I have a 16" one....
I can have a 16 on my 3120 or 372 in about 30 minutes. On the 066 in 5.
