    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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Already stripped and rebuilding crank up, thanks for your reply.
  9. Not the same as a 441, thanks for reply tho.
  10. Does anyone have a fuel tank/rear handle for the above saw? Thanks
  11. Ok thanks but i did specifically note ne which is (new edition) meaning 50cc
  12. Does anyone here have a cylinder for a 346xp ne they no longer require? Thanks
  13. Tell you what I've found useful is a sanding flap wheel, slightly larger as the flaps will flex into the bore size and it works a treat.
  14. Sorry adw i forgot to install pics.
  15. I want to change to a rim sprocket on my 268/272xp conversion and had these two given to me years ago. Unfortunately serial number plate missing on the saw but only have these numbers stamped on the case if they're any use at all identifying it and to which box to use as both look the same other than the plastic cover. Any help appreciated thanks
  16. Ok, was thinking of something between the 18" on my 562 and 28" on my 394.
  17. After building a 272xp im after a bar and chain combo for cutting hardwood firewood. Want to treat myself to a lighter bar(or not as occasional use) what are your thoughts Husky, oregon, Sugi,Tsumura, Gb Titanium? Do i stay with .58" or change to.50" thanks
  18. Are genuine ones still available?
  19. Can someone please help me source a carb repair kit for the above carb or at least the kit number i require thanks
  20. Been digging with chaps over the pond and have found 272xp was introduced instead of 268xp (Mahle cylinder closed transfers ) and the 268 open transfers(Gilardoni)was introduced to fill the gap.
  21. I thought the 268 was open port and 268 xp closed port and more powerful?
  22. Sorry if this has been a previous debate but I've been told that what i thought was a 268xp is now a 268 as it has a Gilardoni cylinder. Are the gains worth the conversion using a meteor 272xp top end? Can i use the same 268 carb if i do convert? Thanks

  24. Rebuild a few from crank up but don't have the knowledge to do that despite seeing enough over the pond videos. Think i have two stripped so would love a wild 346 if i could get someone to port.
  25. What a great saw, power to weight ratio is excellent.
