Hello,
Relatively new to rebuilding saws. My FIL asked me to take a look at his Husqvarna 350 that wasn’t running correctly. Well it was scored pretty bad so I popped for a meteor piston and cylinder to replace. New aftermarket bearings and seals on the crank. Went back together with motoseal. New impulse line. Fuel line was fine when I checked it out. Upgraded to the metal clamp on the intake.
Pressure and vac tested fine.
it’s running great on its second tank of fuel, but I’m having a hard time getting the carb to stay in tune on the low end. Today it seemed lean on the low end so I was going to give it a 1/8 turn. As I touched the low speed screw, but hadn’t moved it yet, the idle dropped from lean to way rich.
I’m assuming that there is an oring on the jets that needs to be replaced? I haven’t been into the carb yet but seems like that is my obvious next step unless I’m missing something?
Any other thoughts or insights from the experts?
I want to get this running well for him before I return it.
