Hey guys just found out my saw is in poor shape and need some pointers/advice.
I bought a used 346xp NE in very clean condition. I checked the piston at time of purchase and is was nice and smooth. The saw looked almost brand new. I brought it home and mixed up one gallon of gas with the Husky synthetic oil 2.6 oz bottle. I ran 4 tank fulls and then the saw would die after I finished a cut. After it died I would be unable to start it for a few mins. After a few minutes it would start but die again after the cut.
I pulled the covers off the clean everything up and see if anything looked suspect. Upon pulling the muffler I found the scored piston.
I'm assuming this means the saw ran lean? It would fourstroke out of the cut but not in the cut. What else should I look for before I tear it down/order parts.
Thanks for the help.
