Just got this today. They were getting ready to throw it out at work so I got it for a freeby.
I pulled the muffler and the piston is scored pretty bad, so I will wait and see how bad the cylinder is.
I like that the fact that it is a split case saw and not a clamshell.
-
I think you will like it all fixed up
-
Being that it is 49cc and a split case saw I hope to make a few improvements with it. It has a 18" bar .325 chain
I want to pull the cylinder before I get to invested in it first.
Nice looking though and for free who can complain.
-
Make great racesaws with a ported partner 5000 plus top end on them or a stock 50 magnum with same.
-
Great little saws!
-
Thanks guys. I will probably get a stock piston for it and hope to salvage the cylinder. If I have to replace the piston and cylinder both then I may look into other options.
-
That closed port 46mm aftermarket p+c Adam C was showing looks like a nice replacement too. Any feed back on stock trail run yet Adam?
-
Kev, Runs really Strong on the p5000. I have a clean, seized 51 open port I'm thinking of buying another meteor cylinder for.
-
OK, I have a 50 here, top end is toast. Where can I get the Partner top end? Does meteor make one?
-
Tim, Greek Dude (DLA Store) has the meteor cylinder and piston kit 46mm nicely made. $125 or so. There's an ebay seller in California that has em, but a little more costly. Has decompression machined into the jug, the top mount stud for Partner type cyl covers is absent. Had to drill and tap for my p5000. Runs very strong on the Partner
-
Tim, pics in the Partner thread "44mm aftermarket pistons 5000 plus"
-
the 50 can be made into a sleeper saw its a great saw with mods
-
are there other husky piston and cylinder combinations that can be used on the 50?
-
I was thinking all the 346XP style stuff would work?

Be aware of the different stroke, for starters....
-
What about the 51 55 etc. 45mm then 46mm with little opening like Adam said.
44mm I only know of 500 5000 490 also 500 45mm 590 45mm and 325 46mm

I know this is not a '50' specific question, but after seeing your pictures of that fine looking '50' I had to dig mine out! Mine runs good till you tip it to the right side and it looses RPM. Just replace carb? What is the difference between a special and not? mine is not a special.
-
Check the pick up tube in the tank, also the breather on that series of saws can be marginal at best after years of use. Had to replace the breather on my 55 last week. Huge improvement

50 is 44mm, 50 Special is 45mm same as Husky 51.

Very under rated little saw I'm building an older model white top with an egay big bore kit and a carb off later husky 350 it runs strong with that combo. you need to grind out the case to fit that cyl to the early case white top 50 I think there a straight bolt on swap on the later grey top. Some pics of the hda carb before I remade the linkage

G day Matt, i have a couple of those somewhere, i would think there are a few new options in cylinders which will bolt on, and fit bigger carbies too. I should have a look some time and report back.
-
Hey mate sorry for the late replying dont think notifCtion is working. But that's the saw that I eventually will be boxing up and sending to you to look at when I finaly sort out a B&C but I have a new toy that's taking up my time .

Evilbay kit for 59 bux (now go for 39) brought this old white top back from the dead.
A machinist friend turned down the cylinder spigot

I have its brother, just replaced the ring for $3.11. Cylinder was awful so I honed it and polished the piston to get the worst of the grooves out , bought my rings from Jacks, they are for a 46cc stihl, I sanded it down a little to get the right thickness and it cranks on the 4th pull. Good luck with yours.
