335 xpt part saw wanted

335 xpt part saw wanted been such a reliable runner i'd like to keep it if anyone has one FS or such please let me know.

What exactly do you need right now? Did you crunch it?

Well for starters the oiler is still on and off I have cleaned and checked the drive, the brake broke (band) and in clean up this am I blew a hole in the air cleaner It just seems to be getting old and I can't afford to be without and as I am going to wait for the new husky to come out and get one of those would like to just keep this one going for a spell longer. I know I can get individual parts, just thought I'd ask as some dislike the husky's and someone may have one they would like to get off of.

Usually a new pump shaft will fix the oiler.They are around 8 bucks .The problem is you have field strip the freakin saw to install it . Now it could be the worm drive which is plastic and can strip out,they are pretty cheap too .Plus all you have to do is remove the clutch to install it ,lesser of two evils if that's the case .A filter couldn't be very much .

I have one sitting on a shelf in the garage. When I shelved it, it was a runner (5 years ago). Never had problems with the oiler, but I had to clean the air filter 3-4 times a day just to keep it breathing. Make an offer and I'll dig it up.

i have 2 -346's for parts
if any one needs parts off them,
sorry no 335

The 3-335's I have in the shed aren't actually mine but all three died for bad oilers .I fixed one .The trimmers that had them liked the balance but hated the air filters .Sitting out in front they clogged real easily .

 

[rskybiz]

Top Incoming..... Al it is internal and not the worm gear. I too love the balance and clean the filter near every day.

 

[Al Smith]

Well this is what you have to get it down to to change the shaft because it won't come out any other way .

I have fixed those oilers a number of times, too many . Invariably the plastic gear wears or a spring breaks inside that pushes against the shaft. I've seen the little round metal gear on the shaft end wear as well. Best to replace the whole assembly, except for the adjusting screw and spring. Al, did you ever confirm that there is a cam on the end of the shaft gear, as I earlier humbly suggested?

 

[Al Smith]

Not that I could detect on that model of saw .I did however discover as per your suggestion that most if not all Stihls recipricate as well as rotate .

While on the subject of oilers it seems some saw makers such as Poulan used a gear cut into the crankshaft to turn the pump shaft .Thusly it oiled as long as the engine was running .A majoritity of the Huskys I've seen used a gear which turned when the clutch drum engaged .

To be quite honest on some of the older saws I never did exactly figure out how in the world they oiled .

I got a bunch of junk 335s. Holla if you still need one..... no promises though, they were run hard and put away wet.....

 

[tophopper]

Its dry right now, but Im mostly certain it's a runner.......

 

[rskybiz]

Perfect! Tree House rocks

Be sure to lick your finger and press on the back of the spark plug boot when you fire it up, just to make sure it's getting adequate spark.

 

[Al Smith]

That is one of the irratating problems with those little things .That damned plug wire will light you up now .
