husqvarna 345 rebuild!

Recommended Posts

After being told my husqvarna was beyond economical repair i put it to one side however i found the exact part i was after:001_smile:

 

The problem was i had a severe oil leak from my oil tank (via the bar bolts) covering the exhaust:sneaky2: I am now the owner of a oil tank/ saw body for the exact model a 345.

 

But i am now left wondering how hard/easy it would be to strip my old 345 down and rebuild it on the new body. I am not a complete mechanical muppet but also i am not that much of a motor head either. Will i need any specialist tools? What do you guys think? I have a spare day to do it so its not a matter losing money but more of a good challenge.

 

Opinions good or bad please, except stihl are better blah blah:lol: Cheers in advance for your comments

Just give it a go James, youv'e already done the hard bit (i.e. get together the bits you need)

 

Its a great way of understanding better how somthing works.

 

My golden nugget of advice would be to take photos as to take it apart (pictures are cheep, so take loads as you go from all angles)

 

This makes putting stuff back together sooooo much easier.

 

As long as you don't need the saw desperately, you can give it as long as it takes.

Hi guys

 

Just some photos of the project

 

Spent an Hour on her tonight!!! had to finish as i forgot the piston stopper:blushing: I am hoping now that i can get away with stripping any further than getting the clutch off. As you can see in the photos its glistening with oil. That was the problem an horrendous oil leak prob. Spent ten minutes scrubbing and degreasing casings, filters and gubbings. So far so good but with my luck i am bound to run into a prob tomorrow:thumbup1:
