I have a soft spot for Husqvarna 350's. Today I walk into a pawn shop I frequent and see this little saw sitting on the shelf. The price tag said $200 but after a little sweet talking I walked out the door with it for $150.
It's in dire need of a cleaning but mechanically seems pretty sound, good compression, no cracks in the plastics and it fired right up and sounded good. One of the muffler bolts is incorrect so that gives me some concern that the threads might be buggered or that leaky exhaust may have caused some issues. At least the oil doesn't leak so hopefully there's no hole burned into the tank. It has a very nice 18" Oregon bar and a fairly new chain but the chain is an anti-kick back. I'm not a fan of those so I may swap it out.
How'd I do?
