Title: Husqvarna 51
Post by: Cut4fun . on March 12, 2013, 03:30:50 pm
Was it the husky 51 that had the different 45mm topends?

Could be wrong, but I think it was only the 55's that had different top ends. I'm assuming here that you mean different sources, being Mahle and Giardiloni or whatever. (I'm sure I butchered that spelling. LOL)

I was wondering if there was closed and open port topends that came on the 51 from factory OEM.

Don't think so. Pretty sure it was only the 55 that got the closed port top end.

51 was always open port, however there were 44 and 45 mm jugs.  Some of the 44 mm were the ones with tight comb chambers,  later on the 44mm were referred to as 51 epa.

Good info to know. Thanks.

Another  51 with suppose to be oem top in 45mm for sale.   I had no clue on the open or close port deal or the 44mm 45mm on the last one. Why I was asking.

Thanks for sharing knowledge folks.

I thought those early EPA 44mm ones were closed port, but could well be wrong about that. I never saw any real evedense either way... ???

Never seen that Niko,
I have looked at a bunch and if it had a cp 44mm on it someone put it there afterwards.

The 44mm did have nice little comb chambers though similar to a p5000

On a different note, I have a buddy that just sent his to the shop for a hole in the piston and scratched jug. Would anyone have a decent one for sale that I can price compare to the 75 dollar and hour he's going to pay for the fixin up

Yes, any top end that fits may be on a saw that old - but it is a fact that the 51 EPA had a 44mm top end at least from 1998 to 2000. The power rating was the same as the "normal" 45mm top end though, but of course that doesn't nesessarily mean that it was a closed port one. I just assumed it was, as those are plentiful out there - but as I said I have no evidense either way.....

I should have one I will check today.  Why not put a 46mm 55 P&C on it.
