Maybe that its the size and weight of an 044 with the power of an 025

The best VALUE in the 50cc class is the Husky 51 or 55. Pick up a non runner for $25 that just needs fuel system rehab.

I almost only use my 346ne. It's got widened ports, a muf mod, and a gasket delete. Before that I had a 350 with a flat top piston and the same work done. I loved to run it, but in a moment of weakness I sold to my boss. I couldn't get the 346 done fast enough for its replacement.

My other favorite is my 335 poulan pro. Fantastic saw.

my 350 with a 353 top end base gasket delete and muffler mod.

Meh, IMO the antivibe on these is no where near the 3xx-4xx series saws. I have my dads ol' 50 and my boy has a 55. Get the job done reliably, yes.

I can see me doing a 346XP for Anthony soon.

Yeah, the rubber baby bumpers aren't the best AV.

I just don't use this class saw much I really think I'd like a 357xp masterminded which is 60cc class but may be just the ticket for a quick revving lightweight saw that has the torque in the cut that I like. I do wonder how a 346xp ne would run though.....
Anyone have a good comparison of the 346xp ne ported vs 550xp ported which has more grunt?

I have all 3 ported. If you want more torque for a little weight gain , 357 is it. It runs 3/8 20" and have run a 24 pretty well. Not as much with the other two.

Not ported, but i have used both standard. Nothing much in it i felt .

Didn't think it was really an issue of the 550 vs the 346 I figured it is really just an issue of the 50cc size class none of them are going to be torque monsters they just don't have the displacement. Going from 50cc to 60cc is a 20% increase in displacement. I just like the 60cc class I guess, there light enough for me and have enough torque in the cut and still have good throttle response and turn a lot of rpms so they still limb great.

Stock the 550 is on top. Ported the 346 is on top.

I run a ported 346 most of the time, and ported 357 when the wood gets much over 16-18 inches.

I'm more of a 50cc class user. Of course, I'm 52 years old. The lighter the better these days. I've got your 6100 on the bench. Looking for all I can get out of it for you. I think you'd love a ported 357XP too.
