Hi I have a Husqvarna 350 chain saw that reaves way to fast almost to the point you think its going to blow up, thats when i chock it out to stop it. I have tried to make all the adjustments, on the carb but they done respond in any direction. It acts like there is no governor control???????????

Here is the manual for the 51 saw. The sprocket should not wobble and I think you are on the right track, probably should replace it!

Hope this helps !
Cheers!

The chain you should be using should be a .325 pitch and not a 3/8.

Never over tighten the chain, it will wear and stretch with time, which is why you should regularly check the chain tension. To get it right you should be able to lift 2 drive links clear of the bar. The chain will naturally wear groves into the spur sprocket, there is no conversion to a rim spricket for this model. Rim sprockets allow the chain to move along the sprocket easier and takes the wear away form the clutch drum.

THERE LINKED TOGETHER SOUNDS LIKE, TAKE THE SIDE PLATE OFF THE SAW AND BLOW IT OUT WITH COMPRESSED AIR, THIS I THINK WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM . IT'S JUST A GOOD IDEA TO BLOW OUT THE SAW AFTER EVERY USE .THINK SAFETY !1. JAY THE POOL PUMP GUY IN LONGWOOD FL

Remove the chain and cover holding it and check the hole that the oil comes out is not blocked by sawdust.

If you take the bar off, and then run the saw, does oil come out of the saw? If it does, then the oil pump is likely working O.K.

If the oil comes out of the saw and does not make it onto the chain, it is possible that the oil exit slot on the saw, and the hole on the bar are not lining up properly. This happened on my Husqvarna 141 saw. The oil was coming out of the saw fine, but it never made it to the bar and chain. As a consequence the chain was always dry and very, very hot.

The other saws we use, always have plenty of oil on the chain. I think Husqvarna may have made a design flaw on some of their saws, and the exit point of the saw and the entry to the bar are not properly aligned. I wonder how many saws this affects.

Place a piece of white paper on the ground
Start your saw and point the tip of the bar at the paper, this will allow you to see if it is oiling or not
I am assuming that we are dealing with a newer saw and not an old manual oiler
Blowing air back through the oil ports in to the oil tank ( with the cap removed and oil tank drained) should help clean out whatever is plugging it.
Once cleared run a bit of diesel through the oil tank, drain it and refill with clean fresh oil
I never use old oil in my saws for just this reason

Hope this helps

I fear you are correct about the oiler problem. I see a lot of oiler problems on these saws. Sooner or later Husky will have to address it. Ask the dealer about modifying your oiler; the 350 has an adjustable and might fit 1 or both of these saws. I think Husky needs to admit the nonadjustable is a mistake, and come up with a fix.

If you want to do some research start with the IPLs here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000)
15 = week produced - March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week
Please post back (below) with what happens at the dealer. Take your buddy and his saw with you! Good Luck. HTH

If Husky starts modifying all these with 350 oilers I want compensation...LOL

Hello. Try this link to Ebay,I saw lots of them there. If the link don't work just go to Ebay.com and do a search for the manual. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m38.l1313&_nkw=husqvarna+350+manual&_sacat=See-All-Categoriests

Kinda hard to hook up the throttle rod incorrectly. When you replaced the piston did you notice which way the arrow on the piston head pointed. It should point towards the exhaust. Also, you probably should have replaced the two crank seals just to be on the safe side. Sometimes, those little creatures can cause total agony and most guys do over look them.

had the same problem the other day with my model 55 rancher found the pin missing that
holds the handle to the trigger mechanism once i found the pin put it back in the handle the unit works fine. the pin is about 1/8 X11/4 " long.
