346NE vs 254XP vs 55CP...Sibling Rivalry. Results are in!!!!

[paragonbuilder]

Yes you were. I didn’t know the CP 55 was only 50cc

Runs good don’t it! [emoji57]

 

[paragonbuilder]

Now I’m kinda wondering what cc my 51 was. Always thought it was a 51 cc but doesn’t make much sense to have the 51 and 55 having the same cc. Maybe it was just porting that made the difference? [emoji848]

51 open port. 55 closed port. Both 45mm

Yes it does, pretty darn impressed with it. That saw has me sweating the race a little

That’s stock... I wonder what my MMWS 242 is turning?

Seem to recall Randy sending me a video of 16 plus on a 242 or 246 he was doing for me.

Some 55's were 46mm open port. Which is where a lot of the confusion comes from

 

[Woods Works]

More confusion-----
From early workshop manual 50,51,55 all open port?


Later 51,55 EPA (closed port 55)

Ok I think I have this correct.. the 55 CP was in production before the 55 OP. Pretty certain all 55 OP were 46mm. The 55 CP is a trick, being 45mm the only windowed piston available is through Lil Red Barn. Nobody else makes a windowed 45mm piston for the CP 55. And this is not to be confused with the CP conversion cylinder kits available from HL Supply, they are CP but 46mm. So the stand alone windowed CP piston they sell is only for the 46mm CP cylinder... Confused yet?? Lol!

Pretty sure Walt and Bob have a saw college vid on this family of saws that explains the whole progression of changes

Sounds more like regression then progression to me.

We all got our new chains today. Just got done BSing with joe in the barn and he made the mistake of leaving his 346 on my bench. What to do...what to do. Lol!

Find out and let us know!

I still think the Squatch 55 is coming in the underdog and will be making a statement. As long as I don’t burn it down tuning it myself......... frickin carbs....... black magic voodoo anyway. Lol!!

Ball busting aside, I’ll help you with your tune

 

[XP_Slinger]

Got me a video editor app, works pretty well. Should make for a nice video at the end of all this. Of course it will probably take me a week to fat finger through the process...lol!

That a boy Josh! All 3 saws should be at their best for proper bragging rights at the end.
