need help to identify this husq chainsaw

Looks to me like a 353 also. Try wd-40 to get off the sap. Won't hurt anything, it's just fish oil but it cuts the goo!

From the pics on the Husky site..... it matches the 353 E-Tech almost perfectly.... but the new 346XP E-Tech is the only one with the green fuel cap in the entire lineup, even though it has black hood latches instead of orange like the rest of the saw and that new TrioBrake system. 

I'm gonna say it's an earlier 346XP...

It's not a 346.

Looks like a 346 to me. The label should be located on the right side of the crankcase, behind the handle.

Thanks sablatnic, the arrow makes it clear!   So its settled then...



Problem found though



Now I can't get the handle back on without threat of breaking the case.

It's not a 346.

I read "...handle gap.."  as handle grip[/]... thakns to dyslexia, it takes a little longer for some stuff to sink in.

  I spell bad but not usually off that bad where gap would mean grip.  Now that is funny.

Well at least you got a good saw to start with now.

So with this 353G, and I know I got another on the shelf needing a new case too, I wonder is the 353G worth setting up to mill some spruce logs. Logs would be at the most 20-22"  at the butt.  And maybe some smaller spruce (12").

[Cut4fun]

JMO From the 353's I ran I wouldnt mill nothing with them 51.7cc    3.3 hp.   Dont you have a bigger cc saw for milling 60cc+ 70 80 for smaller milling?

[jimbarry]

I guess strongest one I got would be a 357xpg but it needs a piston, so it ain't that strong at the moment. That leaves me with the 353G and the two smaller Stihls. Maybe milling a little bit of stud lumber to build a workshop is a pipe dream.

WD 40 works wonders as a cleaning product.
