346xp vs 026

[MustangMike]

Well, I got an 024 Super in the process of becoming a 026 at the Docs, should be fun!

 

[idiotwithasaw]

I'll change that stuff out but it won't be a 357 intake setup

What setup are you going with?

 

[jmssaws]

What setup are you going with?

372 if I can find the one I got

Sorry for the mini-hijack Jason. Mike, your base and squish were cut last night.

This thread just sidetracked the crap out of me. Thanks to it I just realized the bolt pattern for this cylinder matches the 346 almost..if not perfectly.

Don't freak out. I'm not using this ks 10mm piston and cylinder for this, but I do have another early slant fin and piston to use.

 

[mdavlee]

I fixded that for you Mr Mike.

I'll need a 2nd one for that. Keep an eye out for a 353 or something like that to build off of. The one Numa had for sale with blue paint that was scored up would have worked.

I sharpened the chain and got them tuned to a very light 4 stroke.
346 is 15300
026 is 16000
There's bout to be a showdown

Most is dead, and hard as Kelsey's nuts... whatever that means??

Kelsey's Nuts:

I’m told it’s an expression that former US President Richard Nixon was rather fond of using. Like other Americans before and since, he meant by it that something was unquestionably and permanently defunct. You might hear somebody say “The battery’s deader than Kelsey’s nuts”, or “His chances of surviving the election are deader than Kelsey’s nuts”.

That takes care of the meaning, but who or what was Kelsey and what was so special about those nuts? He turns out to have been a real person, John Kelsey, one of the pioneers of car manufacture in the USA. With the encouragement of Henry Ford, he set up the Kelsey Wheel Company in 1910. By 1913 this was based in Windsor, Ontario, just across the river from Detroit. To start with, he manufactured the wooden wheels that were then state of the art, but later moved into making wire-spoke wheels and later steel wheels. As Kelsey-Hayes Canada Ltd, the company still exists.

The saying refers to the proverbially secure attachment provided by the nuts and bolts on the wheels that Kelsey’s company made. In the view of the public, nothing could be fixed more tightly. And the obvious anatomical innuendoes in those nuts made the saying just a little naughty. Though some examples are recorded from the 1930s, the phrase began to become more widely known in the 1950s. Early on, it appeared as “tighter than Kelsey’s nuts” to mean a person who was stingy or mean, and is also recorded in the form “as safe as Kelsey’s nuts”, meaning very safe.

Please show what it takes to fit a 372 carb in a 346. I know I have one and might even be tempted to try it.

It's a fair bit of modification. I ran one with the big carb at Hedgerow's last Fall and it's the fastest saw I've run, but not just because of the huge carb.

Eventually I'm gonna grind on mine. When I do having all options available as far as fuel delivery would be nice.

Thank you very much for that very informative research! Very interesting, and good to know!

God, I love this place! You guys know Everything!!!

I think the 346 is faster in the cut, but I have no doubt that both will make someone happy.

 

[jmssaws]

The 346 should be faster

 

[sunfish]

The 346 should be faster

& if it's not, ya did something wrong.
