Husqvarna 350

[Oldfeller]

what a piece of shit, everything about it shouts cheap and flimsy, plastic crankcase lower, self tappers instead of proper threaded metal fixings, looks like it was assembled in tingtong land by chimps on a friday afternoon.

not what I expect of Husqvarna, more like a toy than a useful tool.got one that had low comp, turns out the crankcase halves bolts are coming loose and destroying the cheap pot metal, no wonder they are so light,, hardly any decent metal in them.

gudgeon pin is imfeckin'possible to get out as the poxy clips that hold it it have nothing to get anything on them to remove them. whole thing is a bad joke.

Hi, is this still available?

The disappointment in the 350 husqvarna, was quickly surpassed by the joy of finding two immaculate Danarms a 125, and a dd8f fully working condition with a box of spares and the original operators manuals.

sometimes your the tree and sometimes your the dog.

I'll see if I can take a few photos and post 'em up, maybe it would help to identify it.

all my husqvarnas are older examples and the build quality is testament to how they have survived decades of use, and even abuse, this 350 is pitiful both in design and build, every corner that could be cut in its design has been taken, I doubt it would last a season if I was still working  a saw daily. 

I managed to get a few shots, but its hard to show the crap fixings, course threads like self tapping screws into plastic.

The 350 is/was ( obviousely ) a non pro saw . More a home owner type of thing . 353 was ok but the ( closed tranfers )  346 was brill . The origional 346 with no de comp had a smaller engine than the later " silver side " one . 50cc .

I'm fast approaching a 100 saws of all brands, sizes and categories Stubby, I can honestly say my opinion of this particular one is extremely low, even as a homeowner saw, plastic fecking crankcase!!! every saw I own will surpass this pos with no effort at all, glad I didn't buy the thing.

Not home owner, land owner estate management saw , still a good saw , 346xp or xpg  screamed but had no guts to it

 Never had one in that many parts , mainly because it lasted really well and was still going strong when it was sold  i resent selling it as it was my first chainsaw that got me through forestry college and in industry afterwards .

The ones I had a dull view of was the 340 and 345.

Is that the genuine pot or aftermarket one? 

Did like the 351g..
