I own a Husqvarna xp 365 special that i bought brand new ...has very little use . Thanks for sharing this video . Wishing you & your loved ones a Merry Christmas and All the Very Best in 2025
Heck yeah! Great video . Really enjoy the longer format. I really enjoyed this series. Merry Christmas to you and yours and all the wonderful subscribers. Thanks for sharing Stay safe
Since you mention you're open to suggestions - I've got one for you to consider... In a previous vid you mentioned about having to split the cases on these 3 series saws to change out a bar stud but you could try this: Tap the old one into the oil tank, fish you a wire in thru the stud hole and out the oil cap hole, tape the new stud to the wire and fish it out thru the stud hole, orientate the rectangular bolt head to line up into its slot and suck the bar stud into place with a spacer (I use a piece of copper pipe) and the bar nut. just food for thought...
That is an excellent idea!!! The thought never crossed my mind as I haven't ever had to replace one myself. It was driven in to me as a young kid to never over tighten those studs! I suppose it would have to be a super thin strand of electrical wire you used. The diameter would interfere it were to large? But yes! Excellent idea Sir, thank you! Mind if I share that in a video?
@@sawsonthefarm Yeah you can get a lil more than 1 wrap of electrical tape around the threads then tape the wire with the tail of the tape as it hangs off below the end of the bolt - it's a tight squeeze and you have to hold your jaw just right. Share away - we're all here to learn...
Just found your channel and can see you've lots of interesting saw videos to keep me going over the Christmas holidays. I've subscribed, will be looking forward to getting to know more of what you're doing there in time too. Wishing you a Merry Christmas all the way from Finland!
There for a bit i thought my memory was going or tied up but then midway you mentioned you did the timing, way to go on that saw, i thought for sure it wasn't going to run smooth with the gasket delete but heck sounded real good, i bet it's only going to be minor adjustments now. Have some good holidays, got a mini heat wave here for a couple days got to get myself out in the garage as well
I've never built a 362 but those timing numbers seem pretty hot compared to the 365s & 372s I've worked on. It's almost like the cylinder was machined but perhaps Husqy just sent a lil hot rod out of the factory...
I was kind of thinking the same... why would it be such a high intake duration factory? Thy cylinder is OEM and the base looked untouched! Maybe you are correct about it being a stock Hotrod! I'll post up a cutting video this morning! I think I still have it a touch fat, let me know what you think! I could always take it down again and throw a gasket in it just to see! Thanks!
@@sawsonthefarm I'd run it with that intake duration and see if she's fussy to tune or spits back into the filter before changing anything - it should rip with those numbers...
There's no way you got 158 degrees of total timing by just removing the base gasket !! I've been building saws for 17 years and I've never got 158 degrees of total timing on the intake side. most you should gain for example with base gasket intake should be 71 to 73 degrees, and the exhaust should be around 99 to 100. Now I don't know the # for the 362 xp but when I built mine the intake timing was 77 , and the exhaust was 102 and the saw pulls a 32 inch bar and chin like it's only 20 inches long, I'll look it up , I'm not saying your wrong bud , but that you only get numbers like that after porting not just removing the base gasket.
Exactly! But there's no way this saw was ever rebuilt. The local tree guy I got it from bought it new and he would never have a saw ported, just how he is. Taking out the gasket got me maybe a degree on each end so is it possible it was 156 stock?

@ lol! That cracks me up! 🤣 my father always says, " your not holding your mouth right, that'll never work"! I love it! Thank you!
@@sawsonthefarm your Dad is a wise man that has fixed a lot of stuff!!
It's all those years of "Farm" experience! He's always got an idea!

I did some test cutting today, video probably tomorrow, it cut pretty good! Lucky on the heat wave, it was 0 this morning here! Enjoy the holidays!
@@sawsonthefarm I think we got up to 37 today that's the heat wave :)
