Found my leak, crack across the top of TREE. Looks like it was weakened by the engraving and then hit hard in that spot. That's the very bottom of the tank. Will it do any good to vee it out and JB weld it?
You might want to take a look at what this guy did to repair his case: http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/192138.htmFound my leak, crack across the top of TREE. Will it do any good to vee it out and JB weld it?
My 346 is in the shop right now for leaking. Ill post in this thread on the outcome.
Got the word today that my dealer fixed it. Even though it looks like it was just a dirt issue (no warranty) he still didn't charge me. It's nice to have a good Husqvarna shop close to me. Plus he said my 562xp was in!

I bought this saw from dsell today. Very good guy. Got home, gonna clean the oil tank out and try JB on the inside of the tank. If that dont work, I may end up just replacing the case half.
This saw impresses me a lot with how light and fast it is!
I've gotten so used to saws leaking bar oil, I have no idea what is normal or not.
I guess Ill ##### and complain too . Ive got 4 Huskys and 1 Stihl on the shelf, Only one that leaks oil is the 346.... I gotta keep a pull up on it ....and its the newest one and less run than any of my others.:msp_confused:
I must be lucky with my 346XP because it does not leak at all. Now my 357XP which has about 8 tanks use leaks like a sieve. My MS361 which is also almost new and not yet broken in leaks pretty bad but not as much as the 357. It would be nice to have saws which don't make a huge mess.

If you care, just put some old newspapers under them, and/or open the caps now and then, to let any pressure out.
Just open the oil cap now and then, if you really care!
JB'ed inside of the oil tank, yanked muffler, carb, and jug today. Squish was at .034"! Gasketless it measured .019". Perfect.
Modded the muffler, increased stock outlet by 50% roughly.
Set it up and tuned it to rich just off the limiter, then tuned in the wood to where it it just 4strokes under light load, cleans up nice loaded in the cut. I don't like limited coils, I think this has one. (blue coil). It tunes like it anyway.
I was warned by Wigglesworth not to run it too much or I might start really liking it. I do like it mucho!
18" .325 semi chisel oregon chain right now, all I have that fits the saw. I cant wait to swap it to 3/8 and a new Stihl RSC chain.
I bought this saw just to try it against my 261, then sell, not sure what Im gonna do now. It is a fantastic running saw!
