A nice 346xp

Thanks for the compliments. I even put me a little pull-out sharpening station lol. I need to redo the 2x4 supporting it so it will sit level.

Wow --- nice saws and shop.

You were asking about special tool for the carb -- doesn't look like it. One of your pics I could see the red limiter tab -- just trim the tabs off so both are just "cylinders" of plastic over the screws and regular screw driver will turn the H and L no prob. A good utility knife maks this task easy. If you muff mod then you have all the freedom you need to re-tune and feed her fuel proper

Enjoy!

What a shop!

Ran this saw for a little bit today. I like it.

Nice find, I like my 346's
How'd it compare to the 550.
I know what I think, just curious what you thought.

Well I haven't got to run them side by side yet. I had the 346 sent off for special treatment (see sticker in rear handle ) and when I picked it up, I dropped off the 550 for the same special treatment. Randy is a little over an hr from me and I spent an afternoon with him running and talking saws....great guy.

That's sweet, a ported 346 is a whole different animal, and a ported 550 is violent depending on the work done.

Very nice set up.

A rancher 455 clutch cover would be an upgrade IIRC.

Can you expand on this a little more? Any pictures?

The tensioning mechanism is in the clutch cover.

Kinda like the new edition/XT 365s and 372s.

Remove the tensioner from the 346, install a 455 cover.

Nice. That’s one thing I hate about my 2153, the tinker toy adjuster. Not sure which Jonsered corresponds with the 455

None, there all 1 nutters.
IIRC @MG2186 polished one up real nice and slapped a jred sticker on it.

Yes sir I sure did, I hate the factory adjuster set up on that series of saws!
