Husqvarna 350 chain saw - pin dropped out??

[aj-allen]

The pin is part of the fuel tank assembly. It's purpose is to help hold the tank on if an anti-vibe spring breaks. If you remove the rewind assembly you can see where it should be above the fuel cap.

Hello AJ
I am sooo glad you have solved the mystery. I begin to think these 2 guys were just spoofing me. I started once to just tell them to duct tape the pin to the outside of the housing

As ol' Paul Harvey used to say ... "and now you know the rest of the story"!

You DO remember Paul Harvey, right?

The next time it comes up it would be another place for the poster to look for the missing pin.

the pin is a limiting pin. it limits the movement of the anti vibe spring so when the operator tries to cut with a dull chain and is trying to pry the tree down instead of cutting it . the pin limits the movement to that small circle its in TOM.
