357 carb on 346xp

[beaglebriar]

You gotta trim the carb floor for a proper fit with the 357 intake.

Tell me more sir. Is it something you added? A Euro thing?

A Eco thing. The original vent went to the air filter adapter as it was an epa saw. So something had to be done with the vent line also had to plug the primer bulb line just above the tank. The only eco thing left when I was done was the green fuel cap.

I thought maybe it was a new fix for the poorly flowing tank vents. Thanks for the info fellers. I have a primer bulb 346 to do but I'm not sure if it has the air filter return ala 550.

I've used a handful of the echo vents, I think they're about the only style that truly never leaks.

I'll keep it in mind. I'm still kinda dumb and feel like working with two strokes means I'm going to smell like gas and oil occasionally.

They work great on the these saws.

I've had a couple customers complain about gas spilling out the vents so they get retrofitted with those.

I didn’t even think about the primer bulb. Mine has one.

I’ll put a tank vent on the list too.

You could can the primer bulb and put a frog skin over the hole

I thought of that, it just didn't work out, kind of a goofy hole and nothing sticks on the Jonny top.
Edit: That and I didn't want to screw up the air injection feature as I recall.

The only thing I hate worse than a fuel leak is a fracking oil leak!

the easiest solution is to use one OE top cover.
Personally I dont care so much about it, blocking the lines and its good enough for me

I use the COMPLETE 357 intake tract, from the boot to the air filter.

I use a 390 clamp. I despise the metal clamp that Husky uses.

I gut the internals of the stock tank vent and use the Echo vent.

I have never modified the carb box floor.

I remove the purge bulb and use an OE cylinder cover.

Was the conclusion that I came to and got a 2152 top cover.
