Can I turn a 2149 into a 2153

[modder]

Mine is still 44mm top end with the side transfer covers. From what I read, that is the same top end the 2150 started with before it went to the 45mm (52cc) top end. I am sure they just did it to save $ in production costs, just as they later used the same top end for the 2150 and 2152 but in 45mm. They used different pistons in those models though.

Interesting - maybe some test saws before going to the 45mm one and changing the model name to 2152?

As far as I know, the 2150 Jubilee was the 2150 with special decales. Plastic cased saw vs. the mag. case of the 2149.

The 2152 was the replacement for the 2149 - same story as Husky 353 replacing the 351.

2002??? We had mag cased 2150's, the soon afterwards were clamshells.

Sorry, but I believe your memory is a little off - the 2150 always was the Husky 350, which always was a plastic cased saw. Sort of a clamshell, but with a non clamshell top end, and a seperate bearing cap/cylinder base. Same case as the 345/2145 and 340/2141 - but those had true clamshell style top ends.

I remain curious as to how many other places the 350 bearing cap/cylinder base might fit.
There's got to be a clam shell somewhere that this piece would allow us another hybrid project.
If so, is there already another thread covering it somewhere?
