But don't think it will hold a candle to a good running 346xp....

Good running, as in worked over- or a well in tune stock saw? Just curious how they compare stock to stock, I am kind of looking forward to seeing more on this saw. Think I might stop by the dealer on Tues and see what they have.

Well, they have to be run in before you can judge that!

I'm not replacing my 346 with a 550 though, as the 346xp is great regardless how good the 550xp is! :cool2:

Are you talking stock to stock?

The 550s bound to be better. The 346s are turds:alien2:

Don't tell mine that. You might give it a complex, lol.

I'm leaving for camp in the morning for a week, so if they don't arrive before then, spike will certainly have the upper hand

On the other hand if they do come in, I'll have near instant use with it as soon as I get to camp. But you'll have to wait a week for pics/vids :bang:

Camp on here usually means banned camp - I hope that is not what you are planning! :msp_scared:

Hi Tom.

Whaddup mang?

The Esopus calls me. Helmet on Captain Video. Oh, and just an excuse to visit the shop. Need an excuse..

I ran all three of them this afternoon and I must say they are far and away better than a Husqvarna 142
but not as good as a 372xpt.

Did the one with the Kryptonite piston rings run any better than the other two?

 

[sunfish]

Spike, we need a detail review when you get these. With lots of pics and a video if you can. :msp_thumbup:

It sure is a nice saw. I am trying to figure out whether i´d get a 550xpg or 560xpg myself.

I believe the 560xp is a larger improvement over the 357xp, than the 550xp is over the 346xp - but it is your needs that really counts. :msp_smile:

I had a small time to play with factory´s prototype of 560xp and it is impressive BUT....somehow i keep running my fingers on the cover of 560 5 days a week .

My needs, dont really require any more saws, but if i can get brand new with some work as payment....

I guess it is time to get a really good 50cc saw, there seem to be sort of a gap in your lineup right there? :biggrin:

:biggrin:

Yeah right !

Well, you know my "need" for the 262 or similar "big" saw so i might end up taking an 560 off the shops display shelf some morning :msp_thumbup:

Ring! I pulled the bottom piston ring and ran them all with only 1 ring and gained 700+/- rpms in the cut.
