Husqvarna 365 special cylinder and piston

[spudulike]

It is a relatively easy swap, you need the cylinder, piston, new inlet manifold and clamp but the rest is shared. I would recommend the 372 OEM Husqvarna top end or the Meteor one if you can bet it. Make sure the main bearings are smooth like silk, if the cylinder has been removed, crap can get in the bearings so take care.

 

If the saw is a secondary one then you could go Hyway but personally avoid Chinese cylinders if I can.

 

Do make sure the saw is pressure vacuum checked or if you can't do that, set the carb on one turn out on the H & L screws and if you cant get an even idle without turning the L screw more then 1/4 turn then worry about air leaks!

 

I have done a few now and turned out well.

cylinder hasn't been removed yet so will have the whole saw spotless with the airline before removing it, I'll keep an eye out for either an oem piston and barrel or a meteor one. much appreciated.

I think the pot, muffler & carb were different- I would definitely put a 372 pot & mod the muffler. It will be a nice saw

They used the Zama carb on the 365 and the Walbro on the 372 but the Zama will do the job, just make sure it is tuned once done but it will do the job and work!
