Good information on the open and closed port cylinders. I had several 394s tore apart and noticed open and closed ports among those as well...good one sir...
Just wondering if in the end if that is a denso spark plug. Aka the reason the saw didn't run!! IMO no reputable shop sells denso most are lucky to last an hour! On the other hand gotten some great deals and simply installed a real spark plug. Aka NGK, champion, auto lite etc!
@@stanleymason8155 that was a Bosch plug not a Denso. Most everything that I put back into one is NGK. we were going from the open port to a close port cylinder anyway, so running or not was irrelevant.
I have a husky 240 and it’s closed port but only because it has plastic pieces that make it closed port. Are them nessary or can I just leave the plastic pieces out of it. Just the port opening at the bottom is tiny so was thinking of not putthin them plastics back in the cylinder
My old man does small engine repair as a side gig and scored a 51 in a trade. I cut a lot of wood so he said he is going to send it up, and i'm pretty excited. My middle ground between my 3510 echo and the husky 460 only has a ms271. While it's a decent homeowner saw, its too heavy for the power that it has and too much of a beyatch to work on. If you have to take a belt sander to a socket to pull a carb you designed it wrong. Pisses me off. Where are ya'll located? If this 51 is sound I wouldnt mind having one souped up for fun.
It is the same cylinder. but I’m doing something a little different on this one. I actually have a video coming out soon of all the grinding on this cylinder.
@@JKSawShop Thanks, any tips for porting the new head? am new to the whole saw game. just got a free ported 51 thats cylinder scored pretty bad.. runs fine for now though
I don’t really know because I have not done anything with a 346xp. I have had a lot of 51 and converted them to a 55. I hear the av on a 346 is better though.
JK, amazing educational videos:) Bless you for sharing your life and wisdom with us:)
The 55 is my favorite saw. I really enjoy watching your work.
I’m glad I can get some of the things that I am doing out there for people to enjoy, and possibly learn from.
Loving this build! Looking forward to seeing it ripping! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video, but it would be more enjoyable and easier to follow if you declutered your work bench a bit 😉
Great little saws. Built like tanks

I put a close port on every 51 it comes through the shop. Why not get the most bang for my buck. Are you on Facebook?
@@JKSawShop No. My wife says I can't handle it. My daughter says I'll get in trouble..I really can't handle YT....they are right, truth be told....
@@Brian2bears That’s too funny. I just seems like the easiest way for me to get in touch with somebody.
@@JKSawShop My friend Jimmy has all that stuff and he showed me INDIANA DOUGS pictures over there...
DeWalt has an awesome set of long allen wrenches that comes with a rachet t-handle
I’ve gotten a set or 2 of t handles now.. I do like DeWalt stuff a lot though.

You could probably leave them out, but they are there to increase velocity of the charge up the transfer
Thanks for your knowledge on this saw. I’m looking for parts online, any suggestions. Thanks Terry
Some of the parts are gonna be better found on eBay, the flywheels are discontinued.
Thanks so much.
Thanks. There is not alot that I can find out on making power out of the 50s
I actually have a video of one for Daniel Donnelly. It rips.

I’m in Kentucky USA
Dan Kain @Kain Kustom Garage has this one now.
im building pop up 50 rite now screamin huskys lmao
Are you using the 55 cylinder
Isn’t that the same set up on the saw you gave me ?
It is the same cylinder. but I’m doing something a little different on this one. I actually have a video coming out soon of all the grinding on this cylinder.
Another one. I was hoping to see how the throttle arm went.
Lever goes under the filter base
I have a video where I put the carburetor on the 51/55
@@JKSawShop I had it right but the new replacement carb needed a good dose of wd40.
thinking about ordering the HyWay 46MM kit and wondering how i would properly block off the decompression as i wont be using it?
They come with a plug to delete the decomp.

I do have another video where I show what I do.
@@hondaowner2995 I am also on Instagram and TikTok. Same name no spaces
@@JKSawShop followed your vidya to a T! saw runs great and cuts even better!
How does 346xp compare to a 55?
I don’t really know because I have not done anything with a 346xp. I have had a lot of 51 and converted them to a 55. I hear the av on a 346 is better though.
Dandy saws....sure it will be Another RIPPA....51 is a 45mm bore..55 is a 46mm bore🤙🏻🪓😎
Not a whole lotta difference in them.
One year the Husky 55 had a 45mm bore , closed transfers ,with a compression release. I think it came out in 1998 Only.
@@lennie8098 That is cool to know 😎 thank you for sharing.
1 mm = .03937
So 1 mm is just under .040 thousandths
Thank you
how about some power tooll?. Too much time watching screw removal.
I’ve upgraded a little bit since this video, mainly because I got lazy. I use a quarter inch impact driver a whole lot now.
Intake on them are junk .
I will have to agree
