A little history of the saw....bought the saw off ebay about two years ago from an AS member(Elect4856) or something along those lines. He might be able to give you some more info on the history during his ownership.
I put about two tanks of fuel through the saw before it scored. I sent the saw to Neal Murphy and he deleted the base gasket, muffler modded, and put a new watsonr piston in it. Saw ran great for about 10 tanks and the piston scored again.
At this point I should have cut ties with the saw, but when it runs it's the only saw I want to use.
I decided I was gonna sink some more cash into it and I sent it off to mastermind to have it ported and fixed for what I thought was gonna be the last time. I probably had about 10 tanks through the saw before the piston scored again this weekend.
I'm defeated, but the last 5 of those 10 tanks were pretty freakin awesome.
There is obviously a problem somewhere in the saw. I think it was maybe Neal who upgraded the clip around the intake. Had the local Husky dealer go through the whole fuel systems. New lines filer etc. I use ethanol free fuel and premium mix around 38-40 to 1. I'm Not a two cycle genius mechanic, but I have about 10 other chainsaws and a number of weedeaters/blowers/edgers and I've never scored a piston until this 346.
Here are some pics but one of the muffler bolts is stripped and I couldn't get a piston pic. Probably the only pic y'all really want to see.
Open to all offers and trades.
