346xp vs 026

[ABarrick]

Are you running .325 or 3/8 on these two?

How's the spool up on the 026? That's always been one area I love the 346. Regardless of cut speed the acceleration of a ported 346 is seriously smile inducing.

 

[MustangMike]

Cause we're not used to a Stihl cuttin that fast. Ya done real good bubba!

Speak for yourself Don, at both the NY & CT GTGs this year there were a lot of strong running Stihls from 50 to 90+ cc from several different builders.

 

[super3]

I keep saying it feels faster! Lol
In that big pine log in seen 13500 in the wood alot,it's a little beast

F'in A, you did a great job!

I didnt use a stopwatch just the counter on my phone. What did u get?

026 by 3/100s.

 

[Wolverine]

I had to turn the husky down or it would have been a clobbering

Mind if I quote that in my sig? ROFL

Seriously, you can see sparks fly if you cut near nightfall.

Duane, ya didn't do my oiler mod yet!?

Bout the same.
I will say the 026 will tune a thousand rpm faster than the 346 if you want it to.
There both at 15000 in the video but the 026 will 4 stroke over 16

 

[jmssaws]

Your gettin my saw dirty..thats against the rules.

I'm polishing it now.
I honestly don't like to be the first one to use a saw but it sure makes porting easier.

I think he was joking mike , dont get a boner..its only a chainsaw lol

 

[jmssaws]

It had to be ported for me to use it..the stock ones ive had rode the high hard one

I do mostly 660's and 064/066 and never run one before I port it accept when I get to thinking I'm not making gains I'll fire up a stock one and cut something.
It's immediate gratification.

It's in peices with jb weld curing in the cylinder. We was unlucky with the huge intake duration but I'll fix it tomorrow.

That sounds bad.

 

[jmssaws]

That sounds bad.

Not at all.
The 660 cylinders vary so much I never know what I'll get. 80 to 82 is where I want it with a 288 piston and yours is almost 86 so I'm filling it a 1/16" with jb weld. It will run lots more gooder.

 

[jmssaws]

Im calling stihl to tell them they cheated me lol , its cool my dude..im not an advocate of silly putty in chainsaws but i dont mind..i have 15 or so trees to use it on and then it will probably get used once a month..maybe.

I haven't had to fill one in a while,86 is to much,it kills power and gives a *s-wordty idle.
It's less than a water bottle cap of jb weld,it sounds serious but it is a 10 min job that will last forever. I wasn't going to fill it but it don't run like it should.

Ever used Bellzona or Devcon Jason? The Bellzona is what I use in saws . The Bellzona is pretty hard stuff

There's more in the 346,I'm no pro on quads and it's the only 346 I've done, the 026 is freaky,had a idea that worked.

Same in the lowers on the 026 as the 064?

 

[jmssaws]

No
I use jb weld because it's fast and cheap and strong.

 

[jake wells]

Here's a stock 488. It's muffler modded, but the usda choke down it had wouldn't be considered stock either.

i like your chain

 

[Fairways_and_Greens]

What happened to the videos?

 

[M&Rtree]

I hear a Partner 5000 is boss.

 

[DSS]

I hear a Partner 5000 is boss.

Yes it is. A decent one will kick a 346's ass any day of the week.

I have six I think.
