Picked up a big bore highway kit for my 372xp clone with pop up piston. Cylinder porting was chamfered at edges! Have great luck with this kit and a very noticeable power difference.hey Gang....I'm getting ready to convert one of my 350 Huskys to a 346 xp top end. I was looking through E-bay for OEM and found a 346xp aftermarket from Dukes for $58 free shipping. It was closed port 44.3 mm but casting looked rough in the picture....anyone have any experience with this one? Performance on par with OEM? I probably should pull the trigger on OEM, but I'm just so cheap....I mean frugal.
explaining would ......Just the carb and top end
Hey Tim! I don't frequent here much, just having a look through the notifications. Just a mistake on my behalf. I thought they were NLA. Fankly we've only been dealing Husky for a few months, still learning some things.@cranman1951, I doubt if you talked to anyone at Dukes about the kit. He has several import versions and is also a Husqvarna Dealer. So yes he could of supplied you an OEM kit at a reasonable price. Chris is a good dude.
That woulda been me you talked to that day about it. Only me and my business partner Brandon. I handle most of the FB messages and calls.Thanks for your offer TLG....The NLA 346 cylinders may be just something recent? Anyway it will be fun and a learning experience doing a build with the aftermarket piston and cylinder.
They're definitely still in stock at Husky, got a few on order now. It was just a mistake on my behalf that I thought they were NLA.I'll have to check with Chris and see what's up. I appreciate the feedback/conversation. I hope what grizz is saying doesn't happen soon. Got a couple of those chassis's to build.
Sorry Huskytoter.....I've been waiting until the little snow on the ground is gone before I try them out on any wood. My footing is bad enough without taking any chances with slipping on the snow. I want to try out the 346/350 against the 353 with popup/350....I've also got one with a aftermarket 45mm and flattop to look at. I just sold my next to last 350 that was stock on Saturday, but the buyer seized it after two tanks. It didn't appear that he was cutting with a dull chain and forcing it, or used bad mix, so I replaced it with the last 350, ( the one I wanted to try out against the modified ones). The 346/350 and the 353/350 both have the same brand new bars and chains....18 inch Husky bar with .325 full chisel Oregon chain, so I think it will be a good test. I'm just trying to decide now how to rebuild the seized 350. I'm guessing it sucked air with the plastic clamp as I hadn't replaced it, but will take it apart today.....I've got a good original 45mm cylinder, new seals, a 372 intake clamp, a 346 exhaust brace, and just thinking what to use for a piston. I've got a stock piston, but what fun is that? Trying to decide between a popup or flat top.Did I miss your posting about how it runs and compares to your other models?
