I won't even port one of these without an unlimited coil. That baby's got to go. I buy OEM used ones off eBay. No AM coils for me. I run 8-pin on smaller wood and 7-pin on bigger.

When I pulled the plug to check compression I could see that it's pretty fat. I would like to put an unlimited coil on it and tune some more but the owner is ready for it to come home.

No unlimited coil needed... The poor old 028 will have a hard enough time stomping Wendell as it is!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

A little late, But she looks good Randy! Any final durations?
I think a 346 is one of the hardest saws Ive ever tried to tune by ear, the damn things turn so fast you have to have a good ear to hear the four stroking...of course I aint been at this game too long either.

Wanab had a 346 turning close to 18,000 Rpms or so.(I think) With a little bit more to go

Sorry. I forgot to add the final numbers.
Intake Duration: 156° = From TDC 78°
Exhaust Duration: 156° = From TDC 102°
Blowdown: 18° = From TDC 120°
Compression 165psi
A unlimited coil is in route for the saw and I've got a 8 pin .325 rim and a "special" chain to go on it. I'll make at least one more video before it heads back north.
I made a couple of cuts with it today and......well, I gotta get me one of these damn saws.

Thanks Randy. They are pretty strong in stock form. I thought about porting mine, but it serves the purpose as it.....may do it one day later on.
I think you'll like the 8 pin on the ported saw. I ran one on mine for a bit and it was killer in small wood, even on a stock saw. I put the 7 back on it for my use. I have a .325 that I half assed square filed.....it throws some decent shavings!!
Oh yeah, Repped!

I like the reps. It never pays muh light bill but it's a fun, friendly competition.

I ran the 346xp against my ported 026 today. The 346xp is so much stronger that I'm looking to sell this 026. :msp_ohmy:
