I bet the saw is good to go if it’s running and cutting. I’d hang onto it. I love mine. I am in CA and would look at it/update the clamp if you wanted. Or send to this feller who ported mine, but he is up in WA. @Benwa
I should note that I have a couple by @huskihl as well as having attended a GTG at his place and he knows his stuff. But Ben’s waiting list is probably shorter.
Your chainsaw scrench works on the decompCleaned up the screens on my muffler, filthy. She started right up again. The well used model 48 chain vs the new 80 chain I put on, well I will
replace with another 48 soon. I do not need training wheels at this stage.
Cleaned up around the decompression valve since I don't have the deep 13mm socket to put the new one on and will monitor oil seepage.
Getting the parts ordered for the clamp, partition and impulse line. May attempt to do myself. Will have the carb tune up kit on hand just in case
it acts up.
I thought I was taking good care of these saws 353/359 but both were used and put away wet after some Spring usage. Living and learning.

@Benwa video on my saw again :Might there be a how to vid on the 359 metal clamp replacement that call for these parts to be replaced. I might just leave the carb alone if it gives
no further trouble.
@Benwa video on my saw again :
***you want to replace the clamp before it's a problem, not after. Because after is a piston and maybe a cylinder.
if that saw becomes more than you want to mess with i would be happy to take it off your hands
Like you said on cost of new saws....I'd stick with that 359 to the end.Went to the local saw shop and lifted some Echo and Shindaiwa's 50cc saws. They seemed larger and heavier than the 353. No 60cc models in stock.
The Stihls were on all under lock and bar. The price on the new Husky's made me slink out of the store. Going to invest some time and money into the
359. If I butcher it up I will pm you.
At the 19:40 mark in the video it shows how I go about doing it. There are a lot of other clamps & methods but this has always worked without flaw for me.Might there be a how to vid on the 359 metal clamp replacement that call for these parts to be replaced.

I've been using the 390 onesI'm 90% sure I use a 372xp clamp on mine. May have been for a 390xp. Can't remember I bought a pile of them years ago just to have in hand. They fit quite a lot of saws.
