346 OE, HDA 182 or HDA 195 carb?

[Tor R]

I have both for my 2×346oe, 182 was true 346 carb, 195 was 350 carb. If needed I can off course dump one 199 carb on.
Is there any difference between 182 vs 195?

199 or equivalent would be best.

thanks, I knew you would step in
They are not ported at the moment later though they will be. I was kinda thinking 199 would be overkill on just muffler modded OE.

All I can add is that both are non - EPA carbs, with a 15.08 mm nominal venturi.

Both replaced the HDA-154, on the respective models - and soon after were replaced by Zama carbs.

thanks Niko, it's good to see you.
I may try them both and see if both saws act same, swap one to 199 and test them again.
Later when I port them both will get 199 carb

How is health going?

Thanks!

At least I am rid of the infection (but still on antibiotics) and home from the hospital, but "things" will take time.

199 will work fine on a stock 346 OE & very nice on a ported one.

So am I - 15 mm is more than on most 50cc saws, not to speak of 45cc ones...

The 346 I'm buildin is wearing a ZAMA C3 EL32.

Don't know if it's good or bad, but the only bad ZAMA I've ever seen was on an old 044

I've never study 346 IPL's, somehow I never thought I should get any lol, I have two builders, and missing a few parts to build the 3'th OE.
C3 EL32 is the one they used later, purge bulb, right?
I had to sort some of the mess I have, found 2×C3EL18 also, and one old 357 carb, walbro HdA 174.

I think I will go with 182/195 on one of them, and 199 on the second one, just to feel if there is any difference on stock saw.

True.

All the Zama carbs used on those saws had a 15 mm venturi, and I never heard anything bad about any of them (except that they were Zama).
