Swaying towards Stihl

[Cut4fun]

Here is the Husqvarna recall info.

 

I never seen a recall on carb Walbro HDA, I just know it was replaced with a Zama C3-EL42 and cost here is $40-$50 for carb. The original 357-359 Walbro 199 was the worst of the bunch with issues.

 

 

Service Bulletin for 357XP, 359, 353, 346XP

This service bulletin is not new. I thought that there might be some out there who were not aware of it so here it is. If your saw has a black plastic clamp around the intake right next to the cylinder it is applicable to it. If the clamp is of steel construction then you should be ok.

SB, 357 XP, 359, 353, 346 XP,

Partition wall and clamp for intake system,

2006-03

 

The existing intake system on 357XP, 359,353 and 346XP currently consists of an integrated plastic clamp in the partition wall. As the clamp is made of plastic, there is a risk of deformation. This results in impaired clamping force against the cylinder, which in turn can result in leakage in the intake system. To prevent this from occurring, we have now introduced a metal clamp and a new partition wall.

 

The new partition wall is made up of polyamide with 30 % fibre glass.

The new clamp is a hardened steel clamp. The new material and the design of the clamp reduce the risk of deformation and the subsequent risk of leakage.

 

Full replaceability prevails.

Introduced from serial number:

357XP 061100201

359 061100001

Mowmaintenance in Stoke. However I did buy the 357 second hand but it shouldn't matter if it is a recall.

 

Absolutely right, I'll have a word.....
