The loosing sleep comment was because your post was near 2am, not being a smart***. I also loctited the bolts after the picture was takenJosh, pump your breaks buddy, I'm not losing sleep. It was a question, if you look at that picture it looks as I said. Doesn't take away from the saw. Some saws had course installed from the factory and some fine. Thought maybe we had a unicorn with both. (I hate this text crap because people don't truly get your intentions and snap back with a snippy response)
PS (hate to say it) dont see any loctite on those bolts after you reinstalled them?
I love the 359/357 but after picking up a really clean 357 i decided to sell this 359 and let the 357 have it's spot on the shelfOk, got ya now. It was near 2am, your right lol. Man I have to get a life. All good josh. If i didnt have my 357xp (that I dont use) id be justified to buy this beauty and not use it also.

You must not have read the whole thread my friend ."Because the original carb was a walbro 199, didn't want to scare a newby off."
Good idea ditching that problematic carb and the crap plastic clamp/boot combo. All 359's / 2159's after 2008 (i believe) used the Zama carb for the exact reason of the 199 being JUNK. I wont own or sell a 359 that has a 199 on it. It is NOT worth the headache. Folks should be pleased to buy a saw from someone that has a clue about stuff like this instead of "saw runs great".. but they forget to tell you it will only run great during WOT.. wont idle.. barely starts.. etc (in reference to walbro 199 carb).
I realized you weren't responding to me.I wasn't responding to you. Just adding that the seller is doing the right thing by a potential buyer
So you'll make an offer if he puts the "junk" carb back on .199 is the carb Id want on that saw. Ive had 2 359s- one mint, one nos, both ported. And I have a brand new ported 357xp that I will not cut loose any time soon.
