WANTED 346xp new edition cylinder

[Shane¹]

Anyone got a good used 346xp cylinder and piston for sale? Let me know if you have anything. If I can't find a used one I will probably try a dukes cylinder.

You gonna put it on the 340?

HL Supply just got some back in stock last week. New Edition 44.3mm 346XP OEM Husqvarna cylinder kits. I have one on the way as of today. $199. I too was looking for used but had no luck locating a used one.

I think people are seeing the three series stuff going NLA and holding on to their junk.

Also looking for a new one, but here in Europe they wanna have 370 to 400 € for a new one.

That definitely isn’t worth it…just go get a new 550xp

@Shane how has the Dukes kit held up so far? I bought one to try as OEM NE was $220. I'm no porter but the ports and transfers looked cleaner and with less casting roughness. The chrome bore also was impressive. For $50 I'll give it a go.

I had Greg port it and it runs strong when I have it running but I kept having issues with the 345 I have it on with the bearing cup leaking but I have a 353 bottom end I am building now once I get it dialed in I will report back.

I have a stock dukes on a 350 I built running strong through 8 tanks or so.

Id like to find a cylinder for some of these part saws I just got. What is the general consensus on best cylinders for 346xp? Would it be ne, then oe oem versions then 353 or is the dukes 346 cylinder run better than the 353? How do people feel about the 351 original cylinders?

44.3mm>42>45>44. No experience with Duke's. Did a Hyway 45mm bottom fed quad port. That ran ok. Probably better than an OEM 45mm. But the next one you buy could be awful. These were all unmodified. Someone who ports for a living could probably make any of them run.
