Husky 350 crank bearings

[spudulike]

Brilliant! I've even found a workshop manual! The man's right, no splitting involved.

 

Thanks guys!

 

TBH, the price of repair doesn't seem too bad but should be tested before doing the repair - by tested I mean vaccum and pressure testing. It will prove if the seals are shot - running symptoms are the saw hanging on to revs when the throttle is shut off, the saw screaming when revved out and a higher than normal idle.

Yes, I bought a new 450 as I had a stack of birch trees to sort out.

 

Classic symptoms as stated by Spud though I haven't done the pressure test.

 

I think this one will go back into the shed until I have time to sort it out myself.

Hi there, I know this is an old post but I'm in the Highlands too and trying to sort out a Husky 353. Bit new to it all but likely narrowed it down to bad crank bearings {after replacing everything else!}. Likewise put off by quotes from MacGregors so on the off chance... did you ever find anyone who does home repairs? All the best, John
