Is the gas cap in green colour?
If it came with green cap from factory it'll have epa muffler, not just any color no difference nonsenseMy 346 had a green cap. It leaked. It now has a gray cap, so cap color is only going to suggest what the saw it. Serial Number should be absolute.
Oh yes! It is inbound as we speak! If anyone has others I would buy them too...
Just wait till rebuild time and get a ne top end, that's what I did with mine. I didnt notice much difference in performance, both were oe husqy tops ends. YmmvAwhile back there were a couple sellers in Turkey selling NIB 346XP’s for $740 Plus $80 shipping
I was Tempted, but not THAT Tempted, I would Love a NIB 346XP, but OUCH
I ended up finding a Nice OE on FB Market Place for $350. If I do find a NIB for a More Reasonable Price, especially an NE, I would still grab it

To the OP cheers on your good find mate!
i have owned many of these saws, and they are among my most favorite of all saws made , although some may disagree..... all the flavors, in this saw, early or o.e., latter n.e. , and even the ....e-tech green cap ( gas) models, seem very close in performance , so buy anyone you can find ..just my opinion, i have not run all three together at one time... for a fair comparison...... but there all awesome sauce for sure.... and thats just a stock saw ....Oh, that was more of the collector thang, than a preference for the NE. There have been many different opinions posted here about which some prefer, the OE vs the NE, the BEST solution is to have one (Or MORE) of Each
