Looking at these saws I am going to have to get a NE 346.

Yep, I prefere it to the 5100S - but not on all accounts, as there are some +/- among those.

OK, as I see it, the only plus that goes to the Dolmar is versatility, because of the inboard clutch - nimbleness, handling and (most important) trigger responce/accelleration all goes to the Husky, with some margin.

My conclution is that the Dolmar is preferable for the "one saw do it all" person, but for those who have other saws to fill it out for rip-cutting etc, the Husky is better.

The margins are small, anyway.

Good info SawTroll been wondering about that. The inboard has been nice for setting up sprocket and chain combos. Now that I know what I want (8t-325) I don't mind the outboard clutch of the 346.
Expecting my new old edition back soon. I need some new excitement now that I have cut for a few days with the 5100 saw.

Exactly - when you find the ideal setup, the outboard is no real issue, except for rip-cutting (the noodle thingy - not from the end).

I believe in the .325x8 for the NE346 as well - hopefully will be able to do some tests in a week or so....

Did you ever do any testing. I have tested the saw now with a 28 325X7 setup. Amazing for a 50cc saw. I will try to get video up of it with a 28

Well finally got the video up with the 28inch bar full skip 325. Will try to get one up with full comp when I recover for surgery
 
I have the oiler full open and it seem to be holding up. Now I haven't ran it for a full day So will get that done and check it out. We are going to do a couple things to it in the coming weeks to see if we can get alittle more out of her.
