Have I told you how much I hate you guys?
I've been tempted to replace my 350 with a 346XP (and I have no reason other than CAD) and after this thread, think I'm stopping by the dealer tomorrow and checking one out. AAUUGGHH!
Here, I'll give you a reason..... the mufflers gonna fall off of that 350 soon, better get the 346.
Actually, the muffler is done falling off. I got that fixed but that XP is one sweet saw and the one they have in stock doesn't have a green gas cap!

LOL!!!!!
Yes I am!!!
Get the 346xp. You'll suddenly look and feel 10 years younger, supermodels will start giving you Bootycalls, and you'll always find the good Beer when it's on sale.
Stay safe!

Here's the final video of the saw with the popup. This wood is much harder than the piece in the previous videos.

Looks good, but it sounds a little lean to me. Maybe its just the vid.
It is. I fattened it up after those cuts. Matter of fact, I fattened it up enough to slow the cut times down. I won't sent them out that lean.

I recently did a muffler mod to one of my 372's with the same delflector you used on your 346. I used self tapping, pan head screws to hold the deflector to the muffler. The first time I ran it, the screws vibrated out and I lost the deflector. I was wondering what kind of screws you used to hold your deflector on and if you used something to hold them in (like loctite or jb weld).
Compression is only about 145 right now. It's only on it's 2nd tank of fuel. I experienced similiar with mine. It was quite low when new. After a dozen or so tanks, it's now 185-190 with the same .040" popup and .016" squish. I've never seen compression jump that much with breakin. It's just going to take some time to see it come up. It seems that Huskies have lower compression from the factory these days than Stihls do. But they run well none the less.

Looks really nice- what is the current pitch and pin count?
All but the last vid were with the .325 Carlton the saw came with. This last vid was with my .325 Stihl RSC chain. The rim is still the stock 7-pin. I'll let the owner decide what he wants to do with that. If he's heavy handed, he'll prefer the 7-pin. If not, it should be faster with an 8-pin.

Brad...I am not too familiar with tuning and I was wondering if you could explain this post a little more for me? What are the tuning principles involved with tuning in the wood or with a tach when running either a limited or unlimited coil. Thanks for your help.
