I have been an intermittent lurker for about 18 months and learned almost everything I know (not enough) about chainsaws here. Got a 346XP NE yesterday--finally--had a question, first searched AS, then looked at the 346XP NE IPL (source: SawTroll), and then googled the part number. If the following question was covered at AS, please give me the thread.
I ordered my 346XP NE thru a nearby dealer and he said it should be "E-tech" but may or may not be catalyst and he had no control over this. Well, my new saw came in with the green gas cap and E-tech sticker, but the muffler is not stamped CAT. Good deal, right? But when I compared the non-CAT part number 544028301 cited in an October, 2008, AS thread, I was not so sure because my muffler is stamped 544028501.
So, is my muffler a non-cat? Oh yeah, I am definitely reading the number correctly. I have looked at it every whichaway. I appreciate the help.
