Great thanks, any solvent recommendations? 👍

Outside thanks

Just purchased a 550xp cylinder which was obviously overheating due to its orangy/brown colour. Anyone used any type of cleaner successfully so it's back to silver alloy colour? Thanks

Due to rebuild a Mk1 550xp and read somewhere that the crank bearings were upgraded from the original nylon caged oneswhich failed. Anyone with any info and if possible part numbers please? thanks

Anyone with a knackered 550mk mk1? Need crankcases and various other parts? Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me, oh right you know him better than I but retirement isn't always what it's made out to be if you're someone who is used to be busy. He has got back to me thankfully as i was beginning to think the worst 👍

Anyone heard anything from Adw? message him either side of Christmas but no reply which isn't like him. Does anyone have a closer connection to him? Thanks

Recently I've encountered many zama and Walbro carbing issues on saw rebuilds. Sometimes it's purely a case of a new kit and its sorted but when that doesn't work is where i come up against a brick wall. Could it be a welch plug issue or the check valve below the brass piece? What i'd like to know is is there someone or a company that will refurbish these carbs so they're good to go and as good as new again as they tend to be from older or saws that have been laying around for a while that i completely rebuild thanks

Can someone please refresh my dating brain, obviously getting rid of plastic intake clamp on a husky 350 and not a big fan of the alternative metal clamp. Don't want a jubilee clip but there are others which screw from one side and pull the other to it which i cannot remember what they are called or whatever else someone can suggest thanks

I build saws crank up just as a hobby really and when i saw 1/4 turn in the online manual i thought that's odd but as i generally build huskys i thought ok so hence the issue. So glad you ad a community are out there. I do have a genuine husky tacko so high jet setting won't be an issue thanks for your reply.

All sorted now thanks, i read in manual 1/4 out on low but obviously that's incorrect. Set it to 1.25 and like you said regarding the idle screw just touching and turn in until it idles thanks

Can anyone help as my fully rebuilt 441 won't idle. Low jet is at 1/4 turn out and idle screw fully in. Thanks

Already stripped and rebuilding crank up, thanks for your reply.

Not the same as a 441, thanks for reply tho.

Does anyone have a fuel tank/rear handle for the above saw? Thanks
