A R E A 51 Husq 365..."Here We Go!"

Cool.

I can't believe it's spinning that much with just a muffler mod. I'd still like to try a baffle someday. But for now, porting is on the way and enlarging the stock muffler port some. I want to keep that muffler stock looking.

Thanks for the help fellas.

I did set this saw up with the high top air filter like the 372XP. That might help the saw pull in a little more air.

Good info bro!

I'm also missing the air injection piece next to the flywheel. I don't know how much of a diff that makes.

That plastic piece helps with the air filtration.

 

[CHEVYTOWN13]

Instafan of closed ports

Yeah, that injection piece was crushed by the flywheel as was the wire that killed the motor

I'm a big fan of closed port designs now. The Kita knicked it by 3/10, maybe 4/10. So I'm going to guess the Husq will be in the low 3's. It's time to order a

Cold cuts to hot cuts. Both running fairly rich. 18" LGX not sharpened, but still looked good and felt good in the cut. Got carried away with the six fo, it just sounded cool:greenchainsaw:

It just dawned on me that I also installed a new Walbro carb, the same one that fits a 372XP.

That along with the 372 filter set up and dual port muffler is likely why it's 4 stroking at 14200.

It seems to cut just as well and the 372 now, and I go to it more because I like that 2 port muffler sound. Not too loud, just a deep throated growl.

Course if I blow it up, that will give me an excuse to install a BB Kit.

The low top mesh filter flows more air than the HD setup I believe.

I think I have read that somewhere on AS. hard for me to get my head around that though because the big filter has a greater surface area. But there is plenty I don't understand.

That's why I depend on all of you guys so much.

I am thinking, you are the guy that said that stock Stihl saws need to come with a factory installed diaper so the when they see a Dolmar you would not have a mess on you hands. :hmm3grin2orange:

I laugh about that every time I think about it.

Am I right, did you post that one time?

 

[CHEVYTOWN13]

Good info guys.

I'm breaking the saw down this weekend ala Dr. FrankenHusq!

I'll post when I get something done.

something like that...

The MEX PORT coming your way

Simple jig using downcut spiral bit.

Wont tip over to ruin milling or go beyond the ears of the jug.

Be back with some more photos.

Who's victim #2?

MEX PORT in action:hmm3grin2orange:

I think I milled too much off. I forgot about the ring! Oh well, it's my practice jug.

Alstar, what do you think?

I have to work the right side a bit. And I slipped on the last plunge Sand paper will take care of that, though

 

[CHEVYTOWN13]

BTW, the camera was balanced precariously, thus the shaking. The router was solid.

Your rings never get any where near that low. They never drop below the top of the intake port.

Can you get a radiused edged bit? I would be leary of sharp corners, for fear of promoting a crack.

 

[CHEVYTOWN13]

You beat me to it. I just checked and they don't go that low. I forgot, they go just below the transfers. Ooops.

This one will have the finger porting. The piston will be blocking this area anyway, so there will be a pocket of charge to start off the finger ports. The other jug will only go as far as the decking. That will be the traditional woods ported jug if indeed it is the aluminum from the piston that damaged it.

I'm not worried about it cracking. There's plenty of meat. These jugs are thick. I'm going to sand the edges smooth.

 

[CHEVYTOWN13]

Now it's time for some hand porting to finish it off. Looking forward to the hand porting from here on out

Next is to find a rubber abrasive to see if the scoring is indeed from the aluminum from the piston. Not bad for $20 bucks so far.

 

[CHEVYTOWN13]

Anyone run a gasketless 365?

I'd like to lower the squish to .023, but I'm wondering if the ears, where the skirts ride, would hit once the jug is bolted down? I'm away from my studio, so I can't check. I was just wondering about it. It's buzzing in my mind right now. If it does hit, then I'm going to have to mill it down a bit.

 

[blsnelling]

I've never seen just pulling the gasket cause the cylinder "skirts" to hit. I've only seen it once after milling the base of the cylinder down on a 359. You're probably fine.

 

[CHEVYTOWN13]

It's good to go then as I'll be making a .003 gasket sprayed with copper.

 

[AUSSIE1]

Personally Rick I wouldn't run a gasket if you have .023 without.
Also you won't have any clearance issues.
Also I don't think you have gone to far, just roll em in.
