“Husqvarna 350 muffler coming loose”

written by andysmithal on 06/04/2013

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. Eventually stripped the the threads. Bored out the head and inserted 5mm helicoil inserts and used the same bolts to secure the muffler with the addition of a support bracket with one leg chopped off that came from a slightly later model. The bracket supports the mass of the muffler and dampeneds the strain on the long bolts. A year later the saw is still going stong. Lots of power and great for snedding and cutting fire wood. I have not used it all day cross-cutting. Bought a 555 for that. I am very pleased with both saws.
