That 346 boot was something different. Wasnt heat melt type.
This is a cut type tear in boot. 1st pic from this saw. It would have been a air leak and burned up saw if past owner would have used it.
I've seen hot and I have seen hot hot. Left side hot hot. Boot was fine.

Old dolmar 166 fuel and oil tanks split. Only one I ever heard about being done.
There was no gasket and not a clue if suppose to be apart.
But it worked and saved my nitro/alky from get ruined by bar oil.
Saw still out there today. I think a guy is going to run it in the vintage hotsaw class Sat.

Old echo 702 70.7cc I got off a guy at work that bought it new.
Made like the echo 750 78.6cc. Just smaller smaller bore by 2mm.
He used to run 8T 24" for firewood.
I put the 36" for testing fun.

Anyone else doing it like this?
I quit just trimming the plastic clamp and using metal clamp over it.
I just cut it all the way off anymore and metal clamp directly to rubber boot.
I haven’t seen a down side to this yet. Anyone?

Well most of the guys in my group agree best way. Glad to see others work on saws there.
My old saw showed up on a racers bench north of me to go through before race season. Cool to see it since sold end of 2010 season.
Stroked crank and all.
Still had my name inside the top cover.

I liked 385 better then the 1mm bigger bore that replaced it, 390.
But they are heavier then your book specs. Husky was good about lying about that way back.
385 half wrap weight PHO actual weight.

Got a chance to cut a truck load and stacked with ole packrat 346 OE built from several different saws parts.
That afm 44.3 on the OE saws runs great. Cant beat it for a 40 dollar topend kit.
All the saws I got to choose from went with it to still test it out.

I pushed the limits trying to make that small husky flip cap i modified to leak on the 346 oil cap.
Filled to brim and stuck it down in there and tighten as some pushed out. Didnt leak during use or setting now.
Setting on bench to see over night up right position. It never did last year so dont figure will again.
I'll take a updated pic later.
Just how it was last year when finished the mod.
