can an 026 beat a 346xp?

[Definitive Dave]

Well for a long time I believed that the 346xp was the undisputed king of this class and that the lowly 026 was sitting in the back of the bus permanently.
Well that might not be true (like a lot of what we learn on the internet .

Doc Al sent me a new cylinder to swap onto my Mofo 026. This is the first time that a regular 3/8 chain was faster than a pico on an 026 that I have run.
Testing, testing, testing.....

That’s impressive with 3/8 for sure. Nice work Al

It’s pretty hard for a dual transfer port to out compete a quad transfer port: there just isn’t enough time/area. My guess is Al put in some finger ports. What’s the compression like on the 026 cylinder?

 

[Definitive Dave]

ill check compression on her
I am bringing it along to GTG and will get it ready to run in a cant

 

[Basher]

That`s a nasty lil 026 ya got there D D.

Slick!

The picco set up is interesting. Would be interested in the part numbers for the sprocket rim, bar and chain.

Damn!
That looks like it is much faster. Are you sure that 3/8 chain was “regular”?

 

[paragonbuilder]

Yes Fred.

Noice!

 

[Stihlbro]

Where is the 346 vid?

 

[RI Chevy]

Saw still has to break in.

 

[Stihlbro]

346?

 

[RI Chevy]

Stihl 026
I doubt Dave has enough tanks through the new jug to be fully broken in yet.

 

[Stihlbro]

What does that have to do with the 346 video?

 

[RI Chevy]

Absolutely nothing. Just chatting about the subject matter posted by the original member. That's all.

Jeff's preemptively making excuses for the stihl in case it gets beat and he's not there to defend it...
