Need part number 346xp

[redoakneck]

I thought I saw a grommet available that plugs the primer bulb cut out on a 346NE top cover. I removed the primer bulb and want to plug that open area.

Anyone know if that is available??


Thanks

Pete

Not that I know of. Just get a 353 or 346 OE top cover.

Dunno, if you have to get a top cover it's only one who count, the good old OE. Love that XP logo!!!

I don't think the spare covers come with that logo, and few of the OE saws did - basically just those made in 2007, before the NE took over at the production chain (week 19, as I recall it). Maybe some 2006 saws have it as well - my memory isn't always perfect....

Ducttape does of course work, and the "silver" one even match the color of the clutch cover.

How about an electrical panel knockout plug. They come in steel or plastic. The steel plug locking tabs can be bent to make a tight fit. Looks like a standard 1" plug would fit nicely. Spray paint with the color of your choice. $1.50 (+ -) per plug. Just a thought.

As I recall it, the opening in question isn't really round, and the cover is curving slightly?

Yes & Yes

Many knock out plugs go up to, at least, 1.5" , maybe more, possibly enough to cover the oblong hole. If it was me I would just install the purge bulb and not attach it to the fuel line, or buy a 346 OE cover. Just a suggestion.

The steel plugs are also pretty easy to bend into a concave or convex shape. A thin rubber washer seems to seal them quite well
