    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 oil the chain. It is now in the shop to trace the problem. More of an annoyance than a problem. When they fix that gremlin, I'll have a saw that should suffice for the rest of my years. I'm 75 and still making a racket in the woodlot.

    I don't own one of these, but work with a guy that took his in for a blown piston. He brought it in, and they told him it would cost more to fix it then to buy it new. He Lowe's hardware and raised a stink so they replaced it at now charge by giving him the 450 series. Both Lowe's and the repair shop said they have been having major troubles with the 350. It may be worth trying to take it back.

    I bought my Husqvarna 350 three years ago and it has been a head ache since the day I took it out of the box. The muffler fell off and stripped the bolt, had that repaired and it happened within half an hour. This saw is not worth the money or the wasted time.

    I have read all of the past reviews on the Husqvarna 350 Chain Saw and I know why there is a lot of people with problems with the saw. I think it is great I just finished my 50th cord of wood with this thing and have had it for three years. Not sure exactly who it is that states it should have a 50-1 mix, maybe the EPA. What I can tell you is that this is completely wrong. It makes the saw run too hot, causing the aluminum head to heat up thus mufflers coming off, warping the bar etc....It makes ...

    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.

    This time one bolt sheared in the head and muffler was just shy of melting into oil reservior. Thought I researched this saw, bought quality (I thought). I realized after t ...

    Husqvarna 350 has been a problem since purchased new.
    Out of the box saw ran poorly. Took in under warranty and was told it was bad gas despite my protests. Took home and started and still sounded funny, turned off and was unable to restart. Returned to warranty dealer: Motor/carb replaced.
    Started and sound great after this. Ran for short period of time when muffler fell off damaging female threads and plastic body of saw.
    I have a Homelite 14" saw purchased in 1987 that still works like a cham ...

    Ability to use shorter bars, or more aggressive chain if needed.

    Muffler came loose but was replaced under warranty

    Husqvarna 350 Chain Saw good weight and balance, held up well to extended use.

    I have the Husqvarna 353 saw and this is hands down the best saw i have ever had. In the past i have had Stil and Ecko. Make the smart buy and get a pro Husqvarna saw, just watch the fuel mix, and oil.

    The Husqvarna 350 Chain Saw is lightweight and easy to handle--liked the easy start button.

    Had trouble with 3 bars splitting in the tip in the 1st 10 cords I cut have had the saw for about 6 years. The sprocket that the chain runs on seemed to split for no reason. Saw dies out at high rpm. Very dissatisfied after owning a stihl and jonsered the prior 20 years
    would not buy another one after the troubles I have had with this one. Doesn't seem to have the power I was told it has

    My local supplier accused me of running my Husqvarna 350 on a weak mixture, which was not correct & indeed 2 Stihls & another Husky (346 XP) were running fine on the same mixture.
    After a bit of a fight, they replaced the pot & piston under warranty.Advised me to run it at lower revs on a rich mixture to run it in.
    After less than a gallon shared between this saw & a Stihl MS170, I seem to have the same problem again.
    It will be interesting to see what the dealer says this time (now outside war ...

    I dont use the Husqvarna 350 Chain Saw full time for work but it comes out quite often,ive used it for felling, cutting up fallen trees that were much larger than in width than the 18" guid bar and cut 1000s of logs for the fire,i have owned the saw for just over 3years and it has not failed, i like the 350 very much its the best for all round work i would recomend this saw to anyone

    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.

    After reading this forum I bought A stihl ms290 and had really been considering a Husky. I talked to the dealer about these bad reviews (he carries husky,,stihl and echo) He said the only reason the Huskies get these reviews is guys buy them at discount stores like lowes etc and fail to get the fuel mixture right. He says he services them and many brought in have had straight gas run thru them. I paid about $100.00 more than I woulda for a Husky.

    Run the engine on 25:1 mixture to avoid the overheating. However, in my opinion why bother buying a Husqvarna 350 when a Stihl MS260/290 isn't going to cut out when you're half way through cutting a tree down?

    The Husqvarna 350 is a great chain saw. I cut and block about 5 cords of firewood a year, so the saw gets a good workout. No problems with it so far. I've owned the saw for 3 years.

    The Husqvarna 350 is a great Chain Saw, I have had great luck with it. It has never let me down in a major way. I could use more power, but so could all my tools. I do wish I would have bought a bigger saw, weight is not an issue with me.

    Saw failed after 3 years - bad piston and cylinder. Local guy said lack of oil; water in the gas; or an air leak? Gas/oil mixture was right per manufacturer and the gas worked fine in a weed eater. Had a Poulin Pro that had a bad piston and cylinder (owned by Husquavara). Sitting on the shelf and I am thinking about buying a Stihl. Factory Service Support was terrible - never called back as they promised, etc.
