Then switch to aspen and never change them again !

 

Ah - that's a great tip - Aspen. Thanks

[arboriculturist]

I owned both and several of them. OE just less torque in cut and needs light hand and 325 chain. The NE loves 3/8 chain for bucking cuts.

 

The OE can be ported to run with NE that has been ported. If the porter knows what he is doing.

 

Also make sure you do the updates to the OE. Replace that plastic intake clamp before it warps and burns the saw up. = air leak. You can redneck the old partion and use 372 clamp or buy the updated kit. Have all the numbers on CSR posted already. If you need a copy paste here let me know.

 

That's VERY VERY good advice ! Ist hand experience of that.

I agree, haven't had a single fuel line issue with Aspen - even the lines in my in my 1970 vintage Jonsereds 621 still are fine!

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
