Jan 6th I started a post regarding my new 346XP just didn't seem to pull as well as my 20 year old 028 Super.

Post # 83 has videos of the saw before and after
Since then the 346XP was back and re-tuned by the dealer at no charge and it runs much stronger. During this post many suggested doing some mods on the new saw. So I did the opposite and modded the old saw.:hmm3grin2orange:
Kevin, aka "Chainsaw kid" offered to rebuild, muff mod and port the old girl free of charge because he enjoys projects like this. Since this time I have develped a friendship with Kevin and learned a bunch about about saws and mechanics as he sent pictures on the progress as time went by.
Well the saw now has: new fuel line, filter, impulse line, intake boot, piston, ported, squish lowered, muff mod, all new anti-vibe mounts, new rope, switched to 3/8ths 050 gauge chain and a brand new bar.
Upon firing it up, it now sounds like a small dirt bike.:yoyo:
Kevin said it would outrun the 346XP and by God he is right.
Behold: "The Sleeper"
I would like to thank this forum and Kevin for instilling faith in fellow man. A year ago I never would have dreamt about sending a saw and $$$$ acrosse the country to a stranger. There are some good people on this forum.:msp_thumbup:
BTW, throw some REP @ "Chainsaw Kid"
