    reliable chainsaw for around $300

    Look at the new Redmax on ebay ..... $299 + $20 shipping Redmax G5000 .. These are under rated, 50cc saws that are very good runners .... modded they will run right with a 346XP ... very reliable saws ... Best priced saw at 50cc's ...

    Redmax G5000 First Impressions

    A builder in Penn. ported a 5000 & his boy won a few 50cc class times ... It was still 4stroking at 17000+ .... It beat some 346's .... 5000's are good saws ....

    Help me decide Dolmar 5100 vs Husky 346xp

    I own both ... and have run both a good bit .... the 5100 is ok & you would probably be happy with it ... Just don't pick up & use a 346 .... The 346 will always put a smile on your mug !! ... Mine is a w.ported OE 45cc ....

    Best 50cc saw

    After the obvious 346 .... consider a Redmax 5000 ... much less money & I would bet it out runs a Didmar 5100s, both being stock ... if the 5000 is ported it's a real screamer, like ability to run 17,000rpm ... 13,000 in the cut ... The Redmax is also a rather durable saw ...

    Owners with a 5100 and a 346xp?

    You will be happy with a 5100 .... just don't ever p/up and run a 346 ... 346 is just hard to beat ... I have a ported 346oe and my 5100s muffler mod only... The 346 will out cut 5100s at 3/4 throttle .... If you are ever going to port ... the 346 is the one ...

    Flex hone?

    Not a good idea to us a ball hone.... use 320 by hand with wd40 or lite oil .. as said, just break the glaze, with lite hash marks .... A ball hone reaches into the ports and can cause rounding (timing change) or rare,flaking of the cyl. coating .... A Stihl dealer said most manufactures...
