Dad ^^^^ wouldn't understand the CAD!!! :-)
The darn search feature does not fun-ction for me so I'm posting this up to learn about a particular saw, the Husquvarna 350. What is the story on this saw design(Pro or homeowner usage), how long of a production run(start to finish) and the general reputation of the saw????
The reason I'm seeking information is I recently picked up this saw from a friend that hadn't used it in at least 3 years and I want to get it running. According to him it's a low hour saw with the orginal chain. He also thinks it's a "Pro" level saw.......I don't know about that but I'm willing to bet there are numerous folks here who do!!! I DO know that it's got the MOST plastic construction of any saw I've laid my hands on thus far.....is it true the block on this saw is plastic also!!????
Any chance someone would know the production date of this saw with this information!??
I pulled the plastic top off and it looks fairly clean inside;
The engine under the plastic top cover looks pretty clean also;
Certainly a different style air filter than I've seen before on a chainsaw! Any way of knowing when it needs to be changed out since I don't have a clue as to actual hours on this saw!?? Any good on-line places to order OEM Husky parts!??
There is some residual built up around the carb but it looks pretty clean overall in there;.
Seems to be a fair amount of bar oil residual in these two pictures;
It's got a 16" blade and the chain seems fairly sharp but I'll know more once I get it running and attempt to cut with it.
Thanks in advance for any info that can be shared regarding this saw, it's reputation, things I should do to get it running and things to watch out for.
