Mastermind 346xp

[sunfish]

Got my 346xp NE back from Randy a few days ago. Damnedest thing I ever ran!

Pulled a dead Oak up to the shop, I don't cut cookies, but did cut up the tree. This is the average size tree I cut, so it might explain why I like the 346xp so much.

I ran it along side my old 346 w/new 50cc top end that I warmed up and the 'banana saw' definitely has the edge! Running 3/8 on both these and switched back and forth between square ground and round chisel. I think I might be sold on square...

Thanks Randy... I love it!

I'm having a ball with the cousin of the 346xp, the 550xp. They are indeed fun saws! Especially "enhanced."

I have a MM 346. The only problem is my brother has laid claim to it and I haven't run it in about a year. I'm stuck running a WWS346 or an EC346. I do have a MM550 that I haven't let my brother lay his grubby paws on!!!

I agree!

You guys are all a bunch of spoiled brats! I'll probably be waiting another month before I get my 353 wannabe 346 thing going.

You need left and right holsters now...

What sort of RPMs do these modded 346s run at, out of the cut? I have one that I know is rich, but am chicken to lean it out much. My ears just aren't good enough for that final fine tune.

yea I hate mine,,,,POS

Hard to beat a ported 346. Not a MM but it gets the job done Just need to get a fancy Asian bar for it. Had no issues with the 18" 3/8 bar buried in pecan with an RSLK chain.

My OE is tuned to 14K. I haven't put a tac on the banana special, but I think I've heard Randy say 13,800? Best to have more rpm and power in the cut.

 

[Mastermind]

You can wind it on out Don.......

I put an unlimited coil on it. Take it on to 14,200 or so.

 

[Raganr]

Cant recall off the top of my head but it was higher than my ported MS460. 13.8 sounds close enough to me.

My OE has been MM'd , squished and lowers blended a bit . It still is happiest @ 12,000 , while my MM'd 272 tach's 13500 all day . Will a 357 carb help my OE to rev higher ?

Don't use a 357 or 359 Zama. A Walbro HDA199 is good.
