357xp/359

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a 357xp and a 359?
Also what does "xp" stand for?
Thanks in advance,
Rufcut

357xp 57cc 4.3hp 14,000rpm. 359 59cc 3.9hp 13,500rpm. not sure about xp?

Xtra Performance? seems logical with more power from a smaller engine even if it is only 2cc smaller. Just a guess I could be wrong.

sedanman, mabe your right, shave the head, get smaller cid, with higher compression.

The 357 has better transfer ports and better crank bearing as does the 346, and the xp means extra power allright. The xp series is meant for the pros and the 359 for the casual user. The 359 cylinder is also made by Husky in house.
