I was kickin’ around the idea of bringing a Husq 51 back to life a couple months ago.

Ordered a meteor piston kit and cleaned up the jug a bit. The case leaked oil so I might as well split it and replace the case gasket, I will need the case splitter. If I was gonna split the case I may as well replace the bearings & seals. If I gotta replace the bearings I figured I might as well throw in a new crankshaft as the threads were chewed up on the original. If I’m gonna do that I may as well find a another flywheel. Figured I should replace all the rubbers while in there so I went ahead and replaced all the hoses, manifold, impulse nipple and fuel filter. Can’t put a dirty worn out plastic bulkhead in such a fine piece of machinery so I ordered one of those and grabbed a couple new air filters cause they’re cheap. Oh look.. those muffler bolts are pretty cheap too (add to cart!) but I couldn’t possibly put a rusty muffler back on them shiny bolts so probably should throw that in the order also. Of course I’ll need that there specialty tool to pull/push the oil pump worm gear duh. Replace recoil cord cause.. why not? And I couldn’t possibly put the nasty old bar and chain on so I ordered a new one, but that calls for new bar nuts :rolleyes:

I also went ahead and ordered a bunch of duplicate tools, another work bench for more room, compression tester, tachometer, heat gun, everything Wiha, a new impact driver, dremel and all accessories.

I plan to reuse the old spark plug as I didn’t want to piss off the wifey by spending too much on a saw I’ll probably just give to my brother in law to straight gas :D

I purchased a non running 372xp haven’t pulled the cylinder yet. She was seized.
Now the most it can run is a $200 parts kit for rebuilding. I’ll be a few hundred away from a new saw. Well maybe $500 away. But a want a hot saw when I’m done.
 
I was out of NGK’s so it was basically used for pressure/vacuum testing purposes only and wouldn’t you know.. after soaking almost everything in ye ole bubble juice to find the leak.. that champion was the culprit :cry:
They have cost me a few bucks over the years until I wised up.
