I got a hold of another Husqvarna 359 e-tech saw with the Walboro carb on it.
I'm looking for opinions & options as what to do to increase the power or open it up.
The 2 OEM heads I have for them are shot, I did try to clean them up but too much plating damage.
I have 2 different heads( 1 Hyway & 1 Dukes ) for it neither of which seems easy to port the upper transfers and with my limited knowledge of porting I'm afraid to do anything to aggressive and yes I have a Dremel & a Timing wheel. Here's the kicker, I understand the basics of porting and how to use a degree wheel but I've never done so.
With that being said I think my best option is a base gasket delete, a pop up piston from LRB with some Caber Rings and a Wide open single port muffler and some carb retuning.
Or I could buy A Meteor Head Kit and do a base delete with their flat top piston. I'm also going to run new gas and oil lines, new filters, a new bar plate, and possibly replace the crank seals if there leaking.
What would you do if this was your saw??
