Husqvarna 350 comparison video with cut times!

[Mike Gott]

That's why you use a pop up like Brad always does. I wanted to have Tree a Monkey port it but he wouldn't port an AM cylinder so I bought the OE and I ported the Hy Way kit myself. For being AM and having a pop up piston which most of the porting experts say will never run as good well I beg to differ

Does the 353 jug bolt on to a 350?

AFAIK, no one has ever demonstrated that a cut squishband delivers better performance than a pop-up. It's personal build preference and little more. It's a tool to be used when necessary, but certainly not required.

How tall a pop up? So a pop up and a stock cyl? Thanks I've been wanting to try (like I need another 350 ) but I may need a 2150 lol

I didn't write that down, it's pretty tall, sorry. I should take better notes. My cylinder isn't close to being stock now though

They sure talk like it has

That's called marketing

Are the chains of the same spool at the Same time or different part numbers & such? Some have more hook and a sharper grind and some are what I call "factory dull"
That would make a huge difference.

 

[Mattyo]

They are the same type of chain from the same company...lcs. I agree that there is or at least can be a difference in factory grind. Personally...I don't think that was the difference here.

Would you give $100 and drive 2 hours round trip for a like new 340 that's hardly been used? He won't ship. The only thing I'd need is a riser block.

Riser blocks are cheap, I got a couple extras

 

[Mattyo]

The plastics get pricey....so yeah...100 is reasonable. 50 for a blown up one. That stupid clutch cover is $50 for oem....

If you can ....upgrade to a 455 rancher clutch cover.

 

[Mattyo]

Check for a burn hole from the muffler into the oil tank. The intake clamp needs replacement as well.

 

[blsnelling]

Are you raising the exhaust at all?

IMHO, you need to raise the transfers more and widen them. You need that fuel to make power at higher RPMs. A stock 346 only had about 17° of blowdown. The strongest 346 I've run only had 14°-15°.

 

[Mattyo]

Ex 105....the transfers are hard to measure....I aimed for 124....maybe got 121 on some saws.

78 intake.

 

[blsnelling]

Stock 346 exhaust is around 106°-107°. I don't raise it at all. I give them 14°-15° of blowdown and put the intake at 80°. Transfers are widened and the base case matched. Compression is 180-190 PSI with a .030"-.035" pop-up.

What's the difference?

.030"-.035". You'll then have to turn the cylinder base and extensions down to set the squish. Shoot for .016"-.018".

Yes.
