My first build thread. I put a 359 into a 350!

What was the stihl at the end??? It was pretty impressive!

Tree monkey's 026. Impressive is not the word, more like ridiculous.

Very impressive work! Man is only limited by his imagination.



Now, make room for a 372 topend:msp_thumbsup:

Very nice!

This is a rare guy here. He is not limited by his imagination this saw is proof of that. I've personally ran this saw and no words or pictures can express how this saw runs and feels, and the sound....wow! Getting a 359 in the 350 is a feat on its own but to get it to run as hard as it does is another on its own! Well done!








A 372 in a 350..... Now that would be "Stupid!"

 

[Mastermind]

Cool stuff! :msp_thumbup:

 

[Rudolf73]

Nice build!

Okay next build, 390 on a 372... :msp_ohmy:

it's about time you get this posted:msp_tongue:
can you cut a clamshell cylinder?

 

[RBurtcher]

I love Machine work. Thank you for sharring your 1st build. I look foward to a few more. :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[parrisw]

Nice build!

Okay next build, 390 on a 372... :msp_ohmy:

That's actually not that hard to do. Would be fun though.

Yeah I remember reading about it ages ago. A 385 cylinder would probably be better suited to the crankcase volume. So you got some spare time Will? Its not like you are busy with any other projects atm... :cool2:

Finished adapter assembled in saw.

Nice work. I should make an excellent little firewood saw.

A few years ago I installed a 357 cylinder on a 346 case. I loved the little saw but so did someone else.

I sure would like to know if anyone comes across this ugly saw.

350 flywheel lightened by 1.5 oz. about .06 clearance to the transfer cover.

372 intake boot clamp.

Compression cold.

Cut the case to accept cylinder.

Muffler. I had to cut a quarter inch off the bottom to get it in there and not burn thru the oil tank.

Shaun, Yes it squeaks I have the crank to bearing clearance too tight and when she gets hot I have lil squeak.

Jim, 357 stuffers wont fit. I ground the shoulders off of the crank and if I stuffed whats left then there wouldnt be enough to feed the cylinder.

359 and 268/272 share the same stroke..........Yes I made another adapter to put 272 cylinder on top:msp_wink:

 

[Homelite410]

Exh port. My second saw so i didnt get too wild. My goal was to make it run then make it go fast.

Flywheel side transfers.

Pto side transfers.

350 tag.

Stamp on top of cyl.

The cylinder was BADLY scored when I got it. A couple of my good friends helped me clean it up and put back into service. The pitting and scratches you see above the exh port is whats left.
In the video its 4 strokin at 13600 and in the cut 11500 to 11800. I am ptretty happy with what i have accomplished thus far.

 

[sunfish]

Excellent work! And very cool!

 

[arborealbuffoon]

You are a sick, sick guy. Gotta love it!

And, yes, the little bugger screams...

 

[nmurph]

I love this type of engineering!!

Let's see the 272 cylinder on it.

I've raised the crank in a clamshell before Scott. You have a mill and I know you are a guy that could figure that one out.

 

[jropo]

I don't know what to say.

For those curious I did use a 350 flywheel and reduced the weight. Timing was another thing, the timing from 359 to 350 is way different. I mounted359 flywheel to the crank and indexed the leading edge of the magnets to a fixed point on the case then removed flywheel and put prussian blue on the 350 flywheel key and just made a mark on the crank where the magnets were at the same point. I used a cutoff wheel and made a new keyway. So... as far as timing numbers, I have no clue, but it sure is snappy on the trigger!:hmm3grin2orange:

finished adapter block.
