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
-
Ok thanks but i did specifically note ne which is (new edition) meaning 50cc
-
Does anyone here have a cylinder for a 346xp ne they no longer require? Thanks
-
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.
-
Sorry adw i forgot to install pics.

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
-
Ok, was thinking of something between the 18" on my 562 and 28" on my 394.
-
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
-
Are genuine ones still available?
-
Can someone please help me source a carb repair kit for the above carb or at least the kit number i require thanks
-
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.
