Love me a 300 straight six! But I also like 346xp's.
They doDo the Intake and muffler from the 350 mount in the 346 and 353? I will ask dealer on price for 346, 350 and 353 kits. Any guesses?
Me too. Speaking strictly performance though they're no 289. Last forever though(a 350 won't)Love me a 300 straight six! But I also like 346xp's.
I've a pair of 345's to make into one, and a 353 which i assume is closed port 45mm (the last one was) to resurrect too. I like em, but the OE346XB always out shines em.If I was only cutting 12" and under wood I'd do a 42mm 346. If it was to be my only saw I'd do a 44.3. If I wanted to mess around with porting and wanted to do the uppers too I'd want a 45mm 350. I've still never ran a 44mm but the 42mm open port 345s run very respectably with that port arrangement. I usually try and have a jug in two or three flavors for this chassis on my shelf.
I've got a 45mm on a 2152 I'm playing with now that's pretty sporty. 45 will never hang with a ported 346 but you would have to mod one a little to hang. I got a little crazy opening the lowers so the transfer caps aren't coming off again...I've a pair of 345's to make into one, and a 353 which i assume is closed port 45mm (the last one was) to resurrect too.

No retainer screw meat left? The one i did i just rounded off the sharp un-finished edge on the bridge that blocks the entry to the lowers and fitted a PopTop HiWay, BGD and Red97 Muff too of course. Mate at work who has it now loves it, but he hasn't run a 346XB.....I've got a 45mm on a 2152 I'm playing with now that's pretty sporty. 45 will never hang with a ported 346 but you would have to mod one a little to hang.

I'm at work and struggling to visualise it without a jug in my hands. Maybe PM me with more pics if you can be bothered so no derail of OPs thread. Kinda relevant tho?no more gasket flangeView attachment 277748And that's not even finished...
YupSo this is where all the Husqjohnners are hanging today??![]()
The 350 and 353 cylinder are the same cylinder. Same PN look it up.I recently ported a 353 cylinder and put it on a 350. The saw runs amazing. Removable transfer covers made it simple to port. I've seen a lot of negative reviews on the 353 cylinder but after doing this build I'm real happy with it. Something to consider for a 350 upgrade
My 353 cylinder is a closed port cylinder with removable transfer covers. The 350's I have disassembled all had open port cylinders. Did they stop using the open port cylinders at some time?The 350 and 353 cylinder are the same cylinder. Same PN look it up.
351's used the 44mm open port cylinder, no doubt the one you've seen on 350s, so must be early editions ay.My 353 cylinder is a closed port cylinder with removable transfer covers. The 350's I have disassembled all had open port cylinders. Did they stop using the open port cylinders at some time?
