Husqvarna 351 were like the 353 or the 350. Thinking it was the metal crankcase like 353. Come with 44mm bore or the later 45mm bore. Dished or flat top piston stock? #Post#: 73073-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: 660magnum Date: August 12, 2016, 1:30 pm --------------------------------------------------------- 44mm but looks like a 350 cyl mag crankcase like a 353 flat top piston #Post#: 73080-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: old guy Date: August 13, 2016, 8:11 am --------------------------------------------------------- Same saw as 353 - 346 except has the 44m/m open port cyl of the 350, both of mine now wear 346 cyls, one OE & one NE. #Post#: 73092-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: wild262 Date: August 15, 2016, 6:54 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Cut4fun . link=topic=6056.msg73071#msg73071 date=1471025962] I cant remember the details on these.

[/quote]Easy way to know what cylinder you have is to look to see if it has the removable transfer caps on the side. Only the 45mm had them. And if its not wore off, the number "44 or 45" should be stamped on top of cylinder. 44mm mostly were blue ink, and the 45mm were black ink. The (EPA) 351 came out in late 2002. After 2003, the 351 had the 353 45mm jug on them I believe as I had one. Be careful about mis matching the cylinder bolts as the early ones had course thread and later ones had fine thread. Fine thread started around 2005 and affected most all models with metal case, 351, 353, 346xp, Jonny models: 2147 (346oe), 2149 (351), 2152 (353), 2153 (346ne). #Post#: 73143-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: SawTroll Date: August 19, 2016, 5:52 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=old guy link=topic=6056.msg73080#msg73080 date=1471093886] Same saw as 353 - 346 except has the 44m/m open port cyl of the 350, both of mine now wear 346 cyls, one OE & one NE. [/quote] True - and the 351 never got the 45mm 353 cylinder with a dished piston like the EPA version of the 350 did. There is a possibility that some late production 351s had a closed port 44mm cylinder that was made the same way as the 353 top end though, as it is a fact that some late production Jonsered 2149s did (basically same saw). The 351 was replaced by the 353 some time in the second halv of 2002. Everything except the top end was the same between the 346xp (OE), the 351 and the 353 - with the usual exception of changes that was a matter of production time and not model. #Post#: 73226-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: Bluegill Date: August 26, 2016, 6:10 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I picked up a good 351 and gave it to my brother 4-5 years ago. Had planned to put a 346 top-end on it, but it runs too good to mess with. #Post#: 75609-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: SawTroll Date: January 20, 2017, 12:16 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=SawTroll link=topic=6056.msg73143#msg73143 date=1471647120] [quote author=old guy link=topic=6056.msg73080#msg73080 date=1471093886] Same saw as 353 - 346 except has the 44m/m open port cyl of the 350, both of mine now wear 346 cyls, one OE & one NE.

[/quote] I finally found evidence that some months worth of 351 production in 2002 actually came with such a top end, in one of several hundred service bulletins made available to me by @ray benson. #Post#: 76019-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: David Young Date: February 13, 2017, 8:16 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=SawTroll link=topic=6056.msg75609#msg75609 date=1484936185] [quote author=SawTroll link=topic=6056.msg73143#msg73143 date=1471647120] [quote author=old guy link=topic=6056.msg73080#msg73080 date=1471093886] Same saw as 353 - 346 except has the 44m/m open port cyl of the 350, both of mine now wear 346 cyls, one OE & one NE.

[/quote] I love the service bulletins some great nuggets of information. I wish they were availble all in ones spot for various models. #Post#: 81716-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: Chainsawrepair Date: March 8, 2018, 8:18 am --------------------------------------------------------- Thread I was looking for to read up. Buying a 351 and had to buy a 350 too. #Post#: 81717-------------------------------------------------- Re: Husqvarna 351 By: wild262 Date: March 8, 2018, 12:22 pm --------------------------------------------------------- That 44mm motor runs darn good and will impress you when you do a gasket delete and muffler mod. Try it sometime. Sure like mine. ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
