Operation Johny red 2152c with NE346XP top end

Well i dont have any timed cuts but i can tell you this, it rocks!!. I thought it ran pretty good with just a newpiston as a 2152c but now it's all new top end with the 2153 piston and cyl. it cuts and revs real good. I switched it over to a 18" 3/8 lgx chain and i like the lgx sofar. I have 3 tanks of gas run and it seems to be getting broke in and faster i need a tach.

I have been told it should be 3.7 H.P and run at 14,100 RPM'S

You might want to get a tach soon or go by your dealer to set the rpm. That is to nice of a saw to ruin....

Just remember the 14,100rpms are a max number, and not a goal in itself.....

You dont need no tach, just do small adjustments and make a cut. Adjust and cut. Once she sings through the wood with authority and has a very slight burble at wide open no load you are good. To put your mind at ease you can do a few cuts and check the spark plug. It should be a light tan color.

I was like you Jeff, I started with a 55 and used it for years. It was a good saw and I love it, but the 346 and 5100 are Ferrari's

Sounds good, but listen to Huskyman, very good advice from him!!

Ed said 13,800-900 but that was on one saw (stock), another could be different....
