As the title states this is a 2003 Husky 365 Special. This saw was just completely rebuilt with new bearings, seals, carb kit, fuel line, fuel filter and plug. It has a new Forester piston with a new Caber ring. Original OEM 48mm cylinder. Now for the good and bad.
First the bad:
Cylinder has one fin broken at the top corner(see pic)
Tank is a new AM tank(although it seems really well built and sturdy)
Now the good:
Compression after one tank of fuel is 145 on my gauge.
Runs great, oils great and brake works as it should
Case is nearly flawless with only a small amount of pitch on the front
Original recoil and clutch cover
Being sold as PHO. Shipping only to the US. I would like to get $350 shipped.
 
So I have the original tank assembly that has a crack in it by the front AV spring. It is still very functional but I didn't want to try to sell this thing like that. If the AM tank is a problem I could always throw in the other tank to be used instead.
 
The original 365 was an open ported transfer cylinder, with a bolt on intake boot. The Special has a closed port jug, and the same intake tract as a 372.
 
this 365 seems to have been frankesawed. the top fin on the cylinder is exactly what the open port 365 and 371 cylinder looked like. the 365sp and 372 had a different top fin that had a rubber grommet support for the top cover. hopefully it has a 371 cylinder on it :)
 
just looking at the lower right pic i see it has a clamped on intake boot. i bet that saw is actually a 371. original 365 would be a bolt on boot. very very tempting if i only knew the whole story :givebeer:
 
This saw was in pieces when I got it but I can assure you this is a closed port 48mm top end. Here is a picture of the cylinder before it went on the saw.

Would be the first closed port 365 top end i've ever seen that had the top fin that way. They may have done it for a few years after the swap to the special but that would be closer to 99 and yours is an 03. The 99 i sold last year had the 372 style top fin. Did you measure with a dial indicator. 2mm is easy to mistake measuring with a caliper. I still have a feeling it's a 371 cylinder but then i'd have to measure the bore myself to be convinced it wasn't.
 
I see it too.:clap: It has a 48mm piston in it too. It has to be a 48mm.

BTW-I bought three of these from Goofy saws when he had his very short sale on Husky saws. I only wanted two but he didn't know how complete they were so he added some parts for me so that I would definately end up with two complete saws. This was included in the parts along with some other jugs that were toast. I took the best of the best and made two saws, this being the second. I cant prove which saw this jug came from but it is definately OEM and it is definately 48mm.
 
Now that i look i see it to. There's a first fr everything and that it the first special i've ever seen with that top fin.
