Did it run ok with the pop up piston? I just ordered one from hl supply for a 261c that came cheap because the guy couldn't sharpen his chain lol never seen a bar and chain that had been so roughly treated.didnt want to spend much as I'm not sure what other damage has been done.
Do you feel like your making a statement Joey? You got no vids...no pic. No nothing. 181 likes...what is it you're doing? Lmao ima laugh at you fool. But with no gay emoji
You mentioned these were simple to work on I have a271 looks identical to the 261. Had to replace fuel line found it to be tedious to say the least every thing so tight, but got it done. Thank you for your video helped a lot.
Awesome saws 👀 👏 😎 I purchased a 5105 off eBay and be here this Wednesday 😀 very excited. Looks like very good condition 👌 like you have fixed 👍 Washington state coast 😂🦅🦅🦅 Gray Eagle 😊
I'm thinking about doing the same setup on my 036 pro. Just curious, did u run a squish test on it after doing the base gasket delete? Should I do a squish test? Since it is a pop up piston, do i have to do the squish test differently?
What brand pop up did you go with? Just curious....but no that shouldn't matter. I built a lot of these and I've always had room for a gasket delete. But still you should always check to make sure that you do.
The Stihl is a saw that a homeowner could push through on the dogs with a dull chain, the Husky will run faster and smoother than the Stihl on higher rpms with a sharp full chisel chain, without being dogged in. Like both saws , but love the 3 series Huskies. ❤
New Sub, Thanks for this Awesome vid!!!. Just got a 261c that's seen better days...this is helping me refresh it. I have one question: I am using Lucas assembly lube-semi synthetic for rebuild-Do you think this is a good idea? Thanks Again!
They don't feel very heavy to me. I just recently bought a dolmar 143. 17 pounds powerhead only. Now that one feels heavy to me. Close to the same weight as a 395xp
Hey again heh, Something strange happend, the dealer`s small engine mechanic, whos a veteran and our local pro to say it in that way, tried to replace my cylinder and piston today. I owe a 2152 jonsered, or a 353 if you will. the new parts was a un-original 346xpg, or a 2153 cylinder and piston. he told me : the original inside my 2152 was a 45cc, and the one i wanted inside the jred, the (346xpg) was a 44.5cc so he said he couldnt fit them could it just be as simple as someone just sent me a wrong cyclinder? x) anyhow, good evening :) PS: Could it also be that there are different year models with slight modifications between the saws?
It's really hard for me to help ya without seeing anything in person. You want the 44.3 millimeter cylinder kit though. If that's what you have it will work
Exacly what is the difference of these saws? Ive got a jonsered 2152, but want to convert it to 53, and i cant get the dealers to tell me how many parts i need. U seem experienced
The only difference is the cylinder and Pistons. Case is exactly the same. All you need is the 346xp cylinder and piston. I'd recommend a metal intake clamp if ya don't have that already.
I have a realy mint 346xpg NE. And a unused 2152. I want to make it a 2153, and Even buy the house cover that shows2153, Just so itl be true 😄 so ill have someone dismantle the 346xpg and put it over the 52. Just hope they will be as malticilous as you were
When you rebuild M-Tronics and there's no information and no smoking gun on why it was running too lean, are there liability concerns for a potential send back? The MDG1 device is pretty much out of reach for most back yarders so there's always a question mark on what the microprocessor/solenoid is doing with the carb.
I usually chalk it up as user error. Especially when 9 out of 10 of the saws I rebuild run just fine once put back together properly. Some.of these people out here just pour a little bit of oil in each tank of fuel. I know that cause several of these guys have fessed that up to me. That and dull chains. I see it all the time
Why? The 353 e-tech has a 1.7 cc larger displacement that the 346XP. You're going backwards. The sharper chain would be the advantage to either model. The XP runs a little faster . . . but only a tiny bit faster. Maybe 8%. Easier to buy a new & larger chainsaw than all that. I have an 18 year old 353 e-tech that keeps feeding the boiler and wood stove. Great saw as it is.
Quite simple. The 346 is the Rockstar not the 353. Number 2, that's what the customer wanted, he knows just as well as I do. #3, we're talking 50cc saws correct? So why even mention the larger saw comment? Makes not a lick of sense. But to answer your question, that's why. Thanks lol
I'll paint a picture for ya follow me here... the 346xp makes more horsepower than the 353. Also makes more horsepower than a husqvarna 460 rancher. Which is a 60cc saw. Ya gotta do your research man...more cc don't automatically make it more powerful. I know what the hell I'm doing
@StumpkillerCP you have yourself a merry little Christmas bud. Tjis is the part where I'm gonna have to sign off let ya try n catch up with the conversation lol cus you're obviously clueless
Ported it..muffler mod. I got the empty muffler also. Hyway pop-up and a timing advance. That chain was filed for soft wood...that wood was too damn hard and the hard-nosed bar didn't help probably. It's a cutter tho. I love that saw
@jeremythomas9134 Always wanted one of them missed a beauty in the summer nice and clean and still kicking myself now, I did pick up a pretty rough looking 254 xp for a good price and I'm impressed with it for what I payed, you ever done any thing to one of those?
Thanks Jeremy. I was tasked with fixing that exact saw...1 year ago. When I returned to finish it on 11.9.2023, it was 4 boxes of parts, and I had to review many videos on putting it back together. Was tempted many times to lose it in the garbage can. The failure gremlin was jumping from one part to the other. Fueled up for the big test, and it dumped the gas right back out: fuel line. Waiting for parts... Some machines are cruel and require that extra bit of patience and help. Thanks. -- North Central Florida.
Just subbed, thanks for doing this video series. My son just brought home an 036 Pro from work, they threw it out. It has low compression, but otherwise is in good shape. These seem like great saws, really excited to tear into it and see what is causing the low compression.
Sounds like a good project man. 036's are excellent saws...getting one for free is even better. I'd recommend a good quality piston like meteor. Put er together well and you'll have yourself a darn good saw for years to come!
