Yes there was a lot of 026 used for the same purposes. Hey randy great to see ya. When you gonna get that 681 from me.
It's great to see you out yankin' chains.

Hmmmmm........

So mowoodchopper, you are telling us you burn 2,750 gallons of saw gas to run a tree business and heat your home?
thats what a 55 gallon drum will do if my math is right. . .
My 346 is about 53cc. I grafted a 357 cylinder on the saw. I built that one before they had the NE version. It will out cut the 346NE that I port but not by a lot. It was a lot of work to build that one and make it look factory. It was hard to get the top cover on but I did manage it. I doubt that I would do it again. I probably have 16 hours of machine work to the case, flywheel and cylinder just to bolt it on the case. Well maybe not that many hours in the machine work itself most of that time was setting thing up in the mill and a lot of measuring and thinking. I used the 357 muffler but I had to cut an inch out of the center and weld it back together. The muffler now bolt to the front of the case just like the 346 muffler. It looks factory. Everything fits under the original top cover. The hard part was finding a piston to use with the 357 bore and the small wrist pin of the 346.

He said 55 gallon of mix, not oil. Why all the hating in here? Makes no sense to me at all. So the guy has use for a light saw with a 28" bar. So what if you guys don't. Just because he's not thinking in the same box you are, doesn't make him wrong.
Very well said, my good man!!!It long ago stopped being about a 28" bar on a 346, and became and issue about whether it's ok to be a douche nozzle about what someone else chooses to do with their saw.

sounds like a fun project, but I have to ask why?
Why not just port NE and get them smokin....

I assume you're using an oiler off of a 3120?
LOL John, why did you put some of your Viagra in the gas tank?
stop flirting you two
Well said, Brad...
Mowood don't like it because it's a 346xp. :biggrinbounce2:
Howdy All,
Whether it's modified or not, smaller powerheads with longer bars aren't anything new. If you're limbing or bumping knots on the landing and trying to put food on the table with a bad back, it's like a gift. Even if you're bucking, it's ok up to a certain diameter because your sciatic will be thankful enough to let you continue to work. I don't think anyone has been advocating showing up to your strip with a couple a 346's in tow but, it certainly has viable alternate applications.
Regards
Gregg

The bar oil issue was my concern...28 inch is a long way to have to sling oil...Wonder if you would have to get a diffrent pump for to buck big logs with one....
sounds like a fun project, but I have to ask why?
Because I can and I wanted to do it.
Why not just port NE and get them smokin....
Because when I built that one they only had the 45cc vesion.
Another hmmm, why would a fellow spend so much time to make it look just like factory, especially making the covers fit perfect.But its 3cc over what every body else has, but looks factory.
