I have a jonsered 2149 and I also have a 346NE top end. I realize the crank case is the same. Any other differences that I should be concerned with or should I hold out for a scored up 346? Do the saws weigh the same? One last questin on coils, the blue is rev limiting and black non rev limiting....do I have that right? Thanks
I have a 346xp top end. Should I throw it on a J red 2149 or wait to find a 346?

What good is a 346 ne cylinder????? Just toss it in the scrap pile!
Naw, you just box that NE topend up and send it to me here N E Mpls, I have two OE346's and one of those is waiting for a bigger jug, altho they both run just fine.
I think you are rite on the color of the coils.
I would go ahead and do the swap you can always change it back if you find a toasted 346.

If the case is the same, just do it. Yes on the coils.

For you maybe, but I'll take the orange and angled front handle....

I'm no fan of the Jonsered handlebars, but each to his own!
I'd say go ahead, if he likes the handling of that red one - the weight differense usually are a couple of ounces, and won't be notised.

That's what my buddy back in school said the last time he got in his big brother's stash.

The blue coil rev limit is 14100rpm. The black one doesn't limit. Personally I'd go with the Jred. If you're going to do some limbing the husky angled bar will give you an edge.

NE top end on the johnny. don't ruin an OE with an NE top end. i'm an OE fan. somethings wrong when my OE running 16" 3/8's will smoke an NE running 18" .325 stock for stock. sweet thing is that i just ended up with 2 more OE's and yes, they are not for sale unless sunfish wants to make a trade happen 
aye don.

You guys and your handles kicked out of square.
I like mine straight.I just haven't found a deal on a 2153. So till then the 346 and 350 with 346 top end will have to do.

Yes, imo the handlebar of the Husky makes it notisably handier for limbing etc. For other cutting it doesn't matter much.
I have a NE346xpg and a 2153WH, and it is always the Husky that follow me into the woods.
This one suits me fine.http://www.nooffswitch.net/2014pics/IMG_0205.JPG http://www.nooffswitch.net/2014pics/IMG_0203.JPG Jonsered handle,brake and painted the clutch cover to match the Husky.

The other way around would make more sense, but the grayish Husky parts wouldn't look really hot on a Jonsered saw.....
I have considered getting Zenoah/Redmax 5300 parts for my 2153 though (they are black, but angled like the Husky ones).
