New vs. Old 346xp

[trook]

Other than the pretty silver covers on the new model 346xp, are there any other differences compared to the older 346xp's?

Forom what I understand the new ones are 50 cc compared to the 46 cc older model!

silver clutch cover, primer bulb (maybe some of the latest old E ones had this), 4cc displacement. Different powerband supposedly. Less of a specialized limbing saw, more usable as general saw but still outstanding handling.

And you can really make it scream by dispensing with excess materials. Plus pop-up and .018 squish. Pleased as punch for my first.
