[Mattyo]

I thought I posted this, but now I'm not sure... A visual comparison of the options for husqvarna 350's ... as of 2016.

oem 346xp, hyway 45mm big bore quad port, kafar kit 44.3, uk "forester?" kit 44.3, oem 45mm openish port plus others!

I just uploaded this one, a comparison of stock squish for oem 346xp, hyway, kafar, and uk kits.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to comment in here. Tried out my 350 with new Farmertec top end and was pleasantly surprised by the performance. Although I cannot comment on the 350 OEM as I picked up this saw as a project, I'm not unhappy at all and with a price of $35 delivered for P+C it's tough to go wrong.

Any mods to it? This is the one with the removable transfer covers right? 45mm?

No, yes, and yes.

I do have a muffler mod but that's it.

In a couple of weeks I'm going to have a chance to run it against an all stock 350 with the same exact muffler mod.

whats the compression? all stock 45mm 350 has fairly low compression due to the dished piston... was this one flat top?

I texted Nick to see if he remembered but I think he's asleep already. It is a flat top, iirc squish was .023 after base gasket delete and compression was somewhat over 150 but don't remember exactly what it ended up being. Will post up when I hear back.

I as of late cannot fault Farmertec cylinders (for the price), I have tidy up the intake where the intake boots usually go on as I had one split an 038 intake boot but apart from that they seem good for AM parts and super cheap. I think without a base gasket delete them may be a bit low on compression as the squishes seem overly toleranced on cylinders I have used.
