Husqvarna 365 special died!

[spudulike]

It will get a full check over, my over indulgent pressure and vac checks where any loss isn't acceptable, the fuel system will get a going over and I think it is looking like a 372 top end but time will tell.

The saw is wearing a new Meteor 372 top end, the carb is the same as the 372 so no issues there. The crank seal under the clutch has been replaced along with a bit of tidying and a couple of helicoils and spare parts but the saw is now airtight, all the checks have been done bar the final tach tune.

 

I would say the issue was a mix of fuel and a slight air leak. Sometimes it is just a mix of a number of slight issues that can take a saw out. The factory limiters were still I place so unlikely to be a carb setting issue but will tach up to around 13KRPM and all should be good now.

Forgot to say that the bottom end had a good flush out and it took out a lot of aluminium powder but the bottom end is now smooth like silk:thumbup:

The saw got packed up today and found......a 12" bar and chain in the box:001_rolleyes: I now reckon that there were a number of slight issues that were exacerbated by a stupidly small bar on such a large saw:lol:

 

The 365 would be more at home on a 20" and it is now a 372 so 20-24" on that.

 

Needless to say, it is now tuned pretty fat on the top end otherwise on a 12", it will fail again - I use an 18" B&C to tach saws on the large Husky mount.

The damn thing went bang before I had chance to put a decent bar on it!
