I thought it had to do with diameter and stroke?

353 cylinder seem to have very small transfer ports compared to 346. I think that is main reason for performance. Enlarge those would propably gain lot more power. But I don't have tools and don't want to risk ruining cylinder.
Carb heater was propably removed when handle heaters have had problems. Even they shouldn't affect each other. If I find missing parts used I put heater back. New parts are just too expensive. Almost 200€ if I resellers information I found is correct.
Only problem i have with it is the oil leaking
The bore is different - but the other differences have a larger impact on the power output.
OE (45cc) 346 is 42 mm
NE (50cc) 346 is 44.3 mm
353 is 45 mm (51.7cc).
The stroke is 32.5 mm on all.
This one have had carb heater. It have thermostat bracket on top of carburetor. And says "carburetor heating" in model sticker too. My 346XPG has carb heater too and still in place.
So, would it be fair to say that the 346 and 353 have the same relationship as the 357 and 359??

Here in BC $789.00 (588 USD)plus 13% tax, you could probably get a few bucks off or a bigger bar,,,
Yes that's pretty cheap and great saw.Tested. Saw runs great.
Didn't have wood to cut now and had only some old dull chain but I let it idle 10 minutes to let it warm and so on. All ok, even handles warm up.
Have to see if bar oil still leaks. I tried some fixes for it.
But overall nice saw for 140€ price it cost me.
Next would be nice to find some bigger husky, like 60-70cc. But they are rare here. Haven't see many used for sale.
