I cant remember the details on these. 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?
-
44mm but looks like a 350 cyl mag crankcase like a 353 flat top piston
-
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

I love the service bulletins some great nuggets of information. I wish they were availble all in ones spot for various models.

Thread I was looking for to read up. Buying a 351 and had to buy a 350 too.
-
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.
-
Back from the morning run picking up a 351 and 350. 351 he said dont start and thinks just fuel line. 350 runs and cuts good he said.
Few bumps, bruises and missing parts. Like cover clip bar nut and muffler bolt. Just hope the muffler bolt missing on 351 didnt take out the cylinder threads on the way out.
-
Hopefully it just fell out. My recently acquired 2149 has impressed me the few times I've run it. Need to get the intake clamp swapped out & run it some more.
-
Another taken a chance pays off. Bought the 350 and 351 without even checking over. Was told the 350 ran but the 351 didnt. Both run now.
Also used the 346 muffler bracket after cutting case leg off for 350 muffler support.
Then looking at 351 muffler support bracket. I'd never seen that one before.
Both need the metal intake clamp update. Can see where the boot slides on the cylinder area on 350.
350 45mm plastic cased and 351 44mm mag cased.
-
Oh yeah past owner bought a new air filter for the 350. The twist on style. Total fail. They fit loose as heck and will allow crap through that area. Pulled the oem one off 351 and tried both back and forth and it is the loose fit of afm.
-
Got lucky not stripped out and had 4 aftermarket bolts on hand for the 351.
Also cut the leg off the 346 muffler bracket for 350 muffler.
-
Since I didnt have to pull the 351 44mm cylinder. Is this what it looks like inside, same as jonsered 2149?

350 45mm plastic cased and 351 44mm mag cased.
That 351 muffler support is the same one they used on the 346OE at the time. That 44mm open port comes alive real well with a gasket delete and muff/mod. I like 'em.

None of my OE 346's had that muffler bracket. Just saying.
-
Some of the early 346s and 353s -did. Since they all shared the same case as the 351, it stands to reason. Or, likely due to the parts Husky had on hand, or just before the new 2-leg design. Not that it matters a hell of a lot, but I've had a few and I think I still have 1or 2 in my pile out back.

Good to know though. First one I remember seeing come through my place so far. Thanks
