1988 Husquvarna 50 modifications

[Tclow1518]

Hi all,
I bought a 1988 Husquvarna 50 and want to mod it I don’t mind some extra modifications to make stuff work.I am new to the 2 stroke world but not new to motors and mechanical stuff.

Is there a 46mm cylinder and Piston that will fit (I heard about different crank case sizes) ?

Carb rebuild or is there a larger carb?

Muffler build or porting ?

Port and polishing ?
Thanks !

Welcome to AS.

How about telling us how the saw is running and what you want from the mods.

Welcome aboard!
These are great little saws, was my first saw I ever got to own and rebuild, I have two running 50s that are converted to 55s! Ones ported and still in development phase. And then there’s my slightly modded everyday saw! You can Check out my thread here https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/1990-husqvarna-50-work-saw-build.366843/ and get somewhat of an idea from what I got done.
Since that thread, I now run the saw with a pipe I made recently, and all I can say is…wow, you wouldn’t be disappointed if you had one!
