“Husqvarna 350 muffler coming loose”

Written on: 06/04/2013 by andysmithal (1 review written)

I have had the Husqvqarna 350 from new since 2006. I became aware of the muffler problem from reviews. For five years it worked fine cutting ten tonnes of timber a year. When I used it to help out in a local forrest and did some serious 'bucking' the saw became very hot the bolts fell out. They are about 100mm long and expand when hot, become loose and the vibrations rattle them out. I tightened them when hot and that worked except that when the bolts cooled they pulled the threads....

“The Husqarna 350 chainsaw”

Written on: 19/02/2013

I do not know what the people who write all the horror stories about the 350 muffler bolts that come lose have for justification of this complaint. It's never happened to me! Now any machine needs maintenance. I try to check my bolts after a hard days use. Might be that I'm lucky, I've never found them loose but have found a few others that were. I tighten them- it's no big deal! If all of the complainers can not take time to maintain their machines ; than all I can advise is to hire your... (read more)

I also have a 2004 husqvarna 350. It has very little use and it was reliable until now [2011].A dead pine tree fell in my yard and as I was cutting it up the saw quit running as it became very hot. I was using that type oil which is supposed to suit any gas-oil mixture requirements and had very good luck with all my 2 cycle engines. I opened the 350 and it had a broken ring. The cylinder wall had some scoring and also the piston had some scoring I sanded out most of the worse and installed a new standard ring as it hasn't been used much up till then. Now I have no compression and will be installing an oversize ring soon. It gets very hot here in Florida and maybe the reason for the problem of it getting so hot with constant cutting.

I have fitted lock washers recently so I hope that will work. Failing that I will have to come up with another solution. I also have a 61 which is great for large rings 16".

Muffler Falling Off: Bought the Huskie 350 last summer 2009 and use it occasionally to trim trees on our two acre lot. Didn't need a larger Huskie for the work.

There has been some problems with Husky 350. These were a cheaper built husky saw, but for the money it has good power. As for the muffler falling off, I have found installing a muffler bracket off of a 353 chainsaw sometimes fixes the problem. All you need to do is buy a muffler support bracket for a 353, have to cut the left side mounting ear off. (353 has another bolt hole opposite the felling dog.) And install. Husky has a fix out that includes replacing the cylinder and muffler, but at... (read more)

I own a Tree Company and started out with Husky 350 over five years ago. The Stihl Chainsaws I purchased at the same time are still working perfectly.

Husky 350 is a beast! However, I have had problems with muffler. I took it to repair while under warranty and they tried locktite and put another smaller bolt to hold muffler in place. It worked for few jobs but came off again. Now I am considering tapping head with little larger bolt to keep muffler on.

Written on: 16/11/2009

After owning a Husky model 61 for many years I decided to step down to a lighter saw for smaller logs. A Husky 350 seemed to fit the bill. Although not as powerful as the 61, the 350 did all I expected of it. Less vibration than the 61, in my estimation it ran at faster RPM's than the 61 and was more comfortable all around to use than the 61. I did, however, notice that the oiler was not lubricating the chain properly. In-as-much as the oiler is adjustable, it still seemed to inadequately... (read more)

Awzap's Comment

Written on: 26/01/2010

I found this review very helpful because I had a 350 that ran fine but overheated, leading to some of the problems reported. I have also been advised not to make the mix richer as it will clog the carb. It may be that after three years of use the 350, now with a blown cylinder, was affected by ethanol in the gas. In earlier years there was no ethanol - now there is 10 percent in our gas here in California. Ethanol can dissolve rubber in the fuel line or, if the gas tank is plastic, it may dissolve the inner wall - as power boat owners have discovered. Does anyone know if this occurs with Husqvarna tanks?

I would never run any of my petrol-powered hand tools on pump gas, only clean-burning synthetic alkylate fuel (a premix for chainsaws in this case, 1:50 or 2%). This is the same type of fuel professional lumberjacks have used for decades in some parts of the world, e.g in Scandinavia. The advantages far outweigh the higher cost of this fuel: - far cleaner exhaust, much less risky to inhale for the operator (almost smoke- and odorless) and of course much better for the environment - much better for the machine with less carbon deposits, far longer spark plug life - the fuel does not become stale with time, works just as well after months and even years without clogging the fuel line. Apart from that, I'd say the number one factor to prevent a chainsaw from overheating is a correct carburetor adjustment, number two is to make sure the muffler (including the spark arrestor mesh) never becomes clogged. The carburetor adjustment takes experience to get right, too lean fuel/air-mix will kill any chainsaw, too rich and it 4-strokes also under load and will perform miserably. I have a saw very similar to the 350, an almost ten year old Husky 340 that still works perfectly despite being heavily used. Sounds and feels like a furious racing engine, these are truly awesome saws and a pleasure to use!

My Husqvarna 350 Chain Saw ran awesome, cut great... then muffler came loose. Retightened.. loose again. Took it to an authorized repair facility. "Fixed" it with new bolts, hexicoiled the head due to stripping wear of old bolds, and two washers I assume to assist in vibration dampening. Well after a few uses its off again.

Chasdwarren's Response to ChasDWarren's Review

Written on: 03/08/2009

It seems that the pot & piston design are at fault. A sharp edge on the exhaust port easily picks up on the single piston ring, which resuts in momentary seizing & scoring of the pot. The 350 also runs leaner (as factory set up) & therefore hotter than older designs which makes it more prone to over-heating if worked hard.
<br/>
<br/>After a repeat of the first problem the dealer cleaned up the pot, replaced the piston ring & adjusted the carb settings (outside of Husky's recommendations) - now running in with fear & trepidation.
<br/>
<br/>Basically cheap & nasty design. Very disappointing indeed.

“Overheating on the Husqvarna 350 is not due to fuel...”

Written on: 03/11/2008

Overheating on the Husqvarna 350 is not due to fuel mixture - it's poor quality petrol i think. I've never had a problem in a Stihl, yet my 350 has failed twice - probably because they rev higher than the equivalent Stihl and the fuel was UK petrol. Use fresh fuel or Aspen petrol (it's hard to get hold of!) with blue Husky 2 stroke oil to reduce the heat. Also don't run 'em at full chat and you should be OK. (read more)

291866_Pleasant's Comment

Written on: 12/11/2008

Oil used in the fuel mix ratio acts as a lubricant. A lubricant reduces friction, which in turn reduces heat. Therefore out of the two ie oil and petrol, it is the oil that contributes to engine cooling and not the fuel- poor quality or otherwise.

The studs that hold the bar are mounted in weak plastic and allow the chain to be pinched when the nuts are tighten enough to hold the bar securely. When loose enough to let the chain move freely, the chain tends to come off, damaging the chain in the process.

Has enough power but if you try and put any weight into the cut the chain stops. Overall not a bad saw for lighter yard work. Stock bar not as heavy as on the Stihl's and tends to flex allowing chain to fell off. Tip also has a tendency to freeze up. Most of these problems where corrected with an after market bar. I've used a Stihl 025 which is smaller but tends to cut better. Value wise I'll buy a Stihl next. (read more)

Written on: 06/06/2008 by wcprv (1 review written)

I am going through the same thing with my 350 as many other people are. I take the cover off to change chain, and must have bumped chain brake lever...cannot reset the re-install. I COLLECT Chain saws - I own over 30 Stihls, Partners, Homelights, and a MALL two man. I hate this Husqvarna. (read more)

Written on: 26/05/2008 by powrguy (1 review written)

I've owned Homelite Super XL, Poulan Pro, Poulan Farmhand 2900, and this Husqvarna 350 Chain Saw is by far a superior machine. Not overly heavy to use, and good balance and power. Oiling was set at factory, and works perfectly. Just the right amount of oil and no problem at all. Plenty of guts for the average user, which is my use, and cuts easily through up to 12" - 14" branches/trees with the 18" bar. It can go up to 20" bar length, but the optimum in my opinion is no more than an 18"... (read more)

“Well I just cant resist this. ”

Written on: 19/04/2008 by nolly (1 review written)

Well I just cant resist this.
I have just had a read of these reviews and they seem to be up in the tens or down in the ones.
I just find it hilarious!
The 350 is a superb saw, I cant fault in any way, the engine is sharp and responsive, lovely weight and balance. It starts every time and ticks over like a dream when sat down.
All I can say to the low score reviewers is read the manual, try some oil in the petrol, and don't pull away with the choke on. It will flood then. (read more)

The Husqvarna 350 is a great chain saw for around the house, despite its small size tank. It starts quick and is easy to use and handle due to its lightweight. (read more)

Written on: 17/04/2008

I would recommend this Husqvarna chainsaw for any serious wood cutting work. I have had several other chainsaw brands and an electric chainsaw. The Husky has been the best thus far. It was not the cheapest but it certainly was worth the money and I have not had any problems with it at all. You can tell the difference between this chainsaw and the cheaper brands. I went through several Craftsmens and Homelites in my life thus far! If you want a good, durable chainsaw which performs then buy a... (read more)

“Worst product I have ever owned. Ran through two tanks...”

Written on: 07/04/2008

Worst product I have ever owned. Ran through two tanks of gas and saw would not restart. Took back to dealer and at first they tried to blame on improper fuel mixture. Then after three weeks they found defect with the saw. Fixed it under warranty for no charge (tried to charge 280.00 for repair at first). Got saw back after 10 weeks and it ran ok. But saw would not stay running after second use. Back to the repair shop. saw has had 4 to 5 tanks of gas ran through it. Should have bought a stihl. (read more)

“Supplier said the saw has not had any oil or wrong mix...”

Written on: 07/04/2008

Supplier said the saw has not had any oil or wrong mix used. This seems to be standard. Two stroke isn't that hard to mix. I then went to my local tool hire shop picked up the most worn looking chainsaw in the shop asked how long it had been on hire (seven years)and I bought the same make and model. The local garden/tool shop do have staff that can give you advise but how pro or good this is varies. The tool hire shop gives you chance to see how the tools respond to a hard days work day in...
