What's a henway?
I love reading all these threads about this saw is better for... and that saw is great because...
But the ones that always give me a chuckle are the comments about this saw is the bomb IF you MM and its even more IF you port and IF you replace the coil and...
I think you get the picture. There are enough members on here I believe who want to hear about the saw as it we receive it correctly set up by a knowledgeable dealer. If I buy a $500 saw its one thing to spend $20 to get it tweaked and quite another spending $250-$300. At that point it may as well be the next model or two higher up the line, IMO.
My point is just this, that a saw should not NEED to have all kinds of modifications done to it to make it a serious contender. Just like a true athlete should not need steroids and such to make them shine either. My $0.02 anyway.
I don't disagree. In fact I pointed out in earlier posts in this thread that the 346 is not dope some folks say it is. However, he does have one - as do I. I was disappointed with mine (as is the OP) and had no choice but to hop it up. I needed it for work and I couldn't just run out and buy another new saw, so I did what I did - and it turns out that was a good thing.
Would I buy another one? No, I don't think so (wouldn't buy a 50cc Stihl or Dolmar either). I want the power I need in a stock saw, then if I choose I could tune it or not.
