Two 028 supers, a Lil Jon 36, and a 08s I just picked up Friday morning.
The lil Jon and the 08s are runners. Just need some cleaning up and new chains.
A bit of progress on the stock Husky 350 tonight. Removed and replaced the "doubled up" fuel tank vents from previous jackleg that caused fuel leakage...installed vent cover filter as well... new oil pump drive pinion... new spur drum in the 7tooth-0.325 variety with new bearing... new case side plate... new bar cover plate... replaced missing screw in recoil spring housing... new chain catcher...
Removed stock looking muffler to inspect melted plastic near said muffler to only find out muff is gutted with stock outlet location and spark screen still installed! I need to grind down some of that melted plastic on chain brake side to install the heat deflector that I believe comes stock on the EPA version. Looks like muff bolts came loose at some time and hot muffler fell down and over to do the melting. Piston looking great on the outlet side of things.
Final assembly with new 18" bar and X-CUT chain hopefully tomorrow then stick it in some wood for a final tune.

So... today was truck Sunday. All went pretty smooth but now I need to replace front brake hoses, (rust has chewed the banjo fittings way down), and the right front caliper too. Should always do them in pairs if you can swing the extra cash. Here I just have the left front because I broke the bleeder screw off like 5 yrs ago when I replaced the pads and rotors. Just now getting around to it.... gotta let things marinate under the healing bench.

Getting rolling on building a P39.
Removed muffler.. see light scoring. Ok.. not so bad... removed carb... oh s**t... cracked piston. Was a free saw so what the hell.. tear it down for fun anyways.
Holy O f**k boys what a pain!!! Rip rotating assembly out... crank seals a bit hard as tiny as they are...all bearings fine... rings free (a shocker)... little transfer on cylinder that should clean up... but the kicker is piston is NOT cracked! Looks to be maybe defect in the casting as it is "worn in" with the rest of the piston.
I have not decided if this is worth dumping money into yet....
Thoughts???

It's your rabbit hole, you have to decide how deep you want to go. But I'm guessing you already have your answer and just want us to confirm it.
Well got new 36" bar for 076, however a 108dl loop of .404 won't fit with a 8 pin .404 sprocket? Seems to just barely be too short. Guess I drop to 7 pin or add a link?
Just had to put bar on for a pic though!

Fell from tree the owner said and knocked the run right out of it.
All straighten up again too.
Easy peasy. He got lucky.
