Hi Paul, I too am in the Gers and am looking at the CS30/31. How did you get on? Perhaps we could get a trainer over here for the two of us? Nick

Hi Spud, thanks for responding to my question. I wonder if you might help me a little further?
How difficult is it to remove & replace the cylinder & piston kit? Do I need any special tools? Is this all I need to remove & replace if the wrong fuel mix has seized the chainsaw? How do I cab pressure check the engine? There are a number of cylinder & piston kits ranging from 47mm to 50mm - which should I get? It's just that I've never done it before...and I don't want to spend another £60-90 and find I can't do the job. Many thanks for helping this junior member. Nick

Thanks Stumpgrinder. I'll check out the 372 if I give up the ghost on the 357. Spudulike, I think you pretty much lost me on EPA model & closed transfer ports. I guess there isn't a guide for dummies like me to do this ?

Hi, got myself a used Husky 357xp with a 20" bar - was running fine & dandy until I made my own 2 stroke mix and the saw stopped working after about 5 mins running. I know I added the right amount of synthetic 2 stroke oil, but perhaps it just wasn't mixed in enough ? An expensive lesson learnt! Anyway took it to the local Husky French dealer (I'm in France) who quoted €470 to fix it....I know I can get a new one for not much more, but wondering if it's worth buying the OEM parts off Ebay (piston & cylinder) & replace them. My questions are: Is this worth doing? How tough is this job? Are there other things that will also need replacing at the same time as the Piston & Cylinder? Any guidance much appreciated. Nick
