I picked up a cheap husky 350 last year and it runs fine but when I checked compression it was a bit under 120 cold. It was pretty cheap and the case is patched due to a loose muffler. The cyl has one helicoil and one thread insert. The squish was about .040". The piston looks great and the ring has an end gap of about .015". The cyl shows some signs of cross-hatch, I'm not sure if the cyl was off for repairs and it was given a light hone or it comes that way from the factory. This particular saw has the 45mm dished piston.
I'm thinking just replace the ring and remove base gasket with appropriate sealer. What would you expect the compression to be cold and no break in?
Should I replace the metal carb boot clamp with a screw type? If not what is the prefered method to reassemble the husky style clamp?
I do plan to add a top brace to the muffler and run the saw a while before attempting some rookie grinding on the jug.
I did use the search feature and there is a TON of info on this model.
I'm going by a local husky dealer today----what's a WAG on what they'll want for a ring if they even have one?
