Husqvarna 350 comparison video with cut times!

[Andyshine77]

Well there was that 461 from Chadhilman's dyno that made some crazy HP too!

What I meant was they gain the most, not that they actually make more hp than any other saw.

Totally understand!

You think the more open mains had something to do with it being stronger....

Stronger than your other 346s?

Definitely. It's the same concept that I applied to the 7910 and worked so well.

 

[blsnelling]

Brad, does that dog have an extra tooth????

Yes it does. I made it myself. It's the kickstand for my sideways balanced 346

They certainly converted me to Husky work saws, for the most part!

What were you running before??

 

[Mattyo]

actually, the question is... does the upgrade now contend w/ the 5105....

I'll likely be porting the 5105 tomorrow.

BTW, the 340 has a .034"-.035" pop-up. After installing and running that cylinder on my 346 it's making 185 PSI.

maybe my guage is a little shy? I dunno... I barely got 175 w/ it in that 340. wish I had a better depth gauge... i got .040 on that popup. ...which is pretty tall for a popup iirc, so 175 kind surprised me. that stupid plating lip is messing up the whole works

Probably different elevations messing with the reading too.

 

[blsnelling]

I'm at 650'-750' here.

Different elevations don't explain the pop up heights.

He only got a rough guesstimation with the end of a dial indicator. I measure with one of these.

 

[Paragon Builder]

Different elevations don't explain the pop up heights.

I'm referring to the compression difference

This is an awesome thread! I wonder if you don't get more power out of saws without pop up pistons. I would think that extra mass would slow their cycle speed?

Less mass. The outside of the piston is cut.
The question is more about transfer flow. Seems to work well on some saws, not so much on others.

 

[J. Talley]

So a pop up piston isn't taller than oe?

 

[Paragon Builder]

No, cut the piston, than cut the base of the cylinder to set squish.
Some have welded popups on clamshells but not normally how it's done.

Anymore 350 videos?
