I got a little something in the mail today from @Overkill338 that might interest a few of you Dolmar and Husky fans. More pics with measurements tomorrow...

Tease

Not on purpose, I just don't have calipers tonight.

 

[HarleyT]

Are those your feet????

Tease!!!

 

[HarleyT]

You going to measure those dogs?

Can you get better focus????

No bare feats to measure in your neck?

40mm?

40mm?

45

 

[Sepia]

looks like a Dolmar 110 piston, so maybe a Dolmar 115 piston?

edit: Just checked - 115 is 44mm, so I guess I wait and see what I'm missing lol.

Oh no she got chicken feet with a chicken beek and I have no clue what to do. I need a chicken plucker first.......lol she has more body hair than I do......

Smells like a Husky 353

I have a new husky 353 I purchased hardley ever used it. At the time I purchased three new saws a 385xp,575 xp, 353. Cut 20 cords of big diameter wood while the 353 watched. Probably should sell the 353.

346 cylinder on a Dolmar chassis?

[WolfMann]

I want to know.

I'm more of a 2152 kind of guy

346 cylinder on a Dolmar chassis?

That cylinder already sits on the perfect case.

Is it tomorrow yet??? These suspenders are killing me!

Pics and an explanation coming shortly

Well, it turned out to not be what I expected. I've been keeping an eye out for a replacement piston for Dolmar 5100s and 5105s besides OEM which are pricey and VEC which work great but aren't great for people that want to grind on their cylinders. Also, the lack of headspace on those models pretty much demands the use of a base gasket, so there is no good way for people without a lathe and four jaw chuck to increase compression.

Then I was turned onto the news that Hyway was going to start offering some popup pistons. I'm sure that many of you have seen the fella in Austrailia testing the 066 model. Another of the models coming is the Husqvarna 353 and all of the variants. This got me a little giddy because I had read somewhere about using 353 and/or 51 pistons in the 51xx, but there was not a lot of detail. So that's what led me to the box in the mail yesterday.

I measured the two pistons today and everything matches except for the piston pin height. It's close to 3mm different between the Dolmar and Husky pistons. So apparently I was mistaken or there was more machine work needed other that trimming the skirts to make the 353 piston work.

Not all is lost though, because I have a couple of the small three series saws around in project form, and in red. So I can still report on any performance gains from the new popup piston on that saw. But, as usual with me, info and progress will be slow as saws are a side hobby to any side work I have to do at home. Here are some pics of the popup and non-popup Hyway pistons. If I only show one measurement of something assume they are the same, because they measured the same in every way except the popup. Would anyone like any other measurements?

Not seeing any pics here. Is the Husky piston taller or shorter?
