Husqvarna 350 comparison video with cut times!

[Mattyo]

On the 340 I had, I changed out the oil pump for the adjustable one.


I think there is a small amount of space between the cylinder skirt and the side of the block enough that the impulse hole does have some communication. Really kinda bass ackwards if you ask me, so gotta get the dremel in there and make a good size communication.

My stock 350 cylinder has the impulse hole on the carb intake where the boot slides on the cylinder. Am I really confused or is the 346 different?

 

[Mattyo]

That's the "out" hole.

Look for the in...

 

[blsnelling]

Did you go for 357 carb and filter system Brad?
And, if I got it correct 340 oil pump is not adjustable, dont know if you checked that part out...

Not in that video. It's NE346 takeoff parts. I did add the 357 parts later when I added the impulse passage.

It's Out For Delivery! Here's to hoping your mail runs early.

Thanks to Mike, I got the bearing cup/cylinder base today and got the saw together. I've not yet priced the shipping to get it there in time though. This saw was parts in a box when I got home from work today.

Another Bad Braderized saw

Besides the 340 & 350 what other Husky homeowner saws will the 346 top end fit on?

I'm not sure if there are more but the 345 fits in there too. Anyone know if the crankcases are the same on these and how they compare to a 346 bottom end cc wise

 

[Addicted2HP]

351 and 353 are on that list too....

 

[blsnelling]

340, 345, 350, 351, 353, and of course, 346 NE and OE. Both the 340 and 345 will need the modified 350 bearing cup/cylinder base.

Husky sure covered all the cc bases

Never heard of a 340/345

 

[blsnelling]

The 340 and 345 are essentially 350s, only without the bearing cup/cylinder base that allows for bolting on a typical pro-style design cylinder. They use a clamshell type cylinder where the upper half of the horizontally split crankcase is an integral part of the cylinder.

they sold quite alot 345 in their time in Norway, they are good performer in their class even it's a pure clamshell, there is lots of them that is still in duty so I guess they wasnt so bad after all
I never had interest for them, but I never had interest for any of those 3xx serie saws, first with my last 346 XPG OE I got interest for those neat saws, nowadays I grab them all, 345 included, those 340/345/350 provide me with super cheap parts.

What model is that from?

 

[Mattyo]

Actually the 350 oiler and 455 rancher are the same but with different rubber.

Either way...better than the 340 oiler

The 350 dyno runs!

 

[blsnelling]

A huge thanks to all the hard work that went into making these graphs!

I'm stoked. It's making at least 4 HP from 6K-13K, and is peaking at about 5.3 HP @ 11,750! That's what a 372XP is rated at! Perhaps more importantly, it's making close to 5 HP from 9K all the way to 12K for a really nice wide powerband. All this from a cheap little homeowners saw It makes me want to know if an actual 346 would be any stronger. I don't have a dyno but I will be doing some additional testing myself.

 

[Mattyo]

On saws 1-5 I'm confused on the graphs...there is so much data to look at... I will have to get a summary somehow and post it. I agree though, huge thanks to Erik and Bill!

Yes.

Good job Brad!

I'm wondering that myself Brad. Isn't a 350 lighter than a 346?
