Porting The NE346XP

Homelite410 made a couple I think. Another route you can convert to 357 drum and oiler drive to get std spline then turn down a .404 sprocket. I just run a regular 3/8 rim and it seems ok to me.View attachment 30529

Ya a 3/8 standard sounds rough with picco though. Has to be rough on chain and bearings I would think? I just ordered a Daneco custom sprocket from Dave. Alil pricey but worth it in my book as I love picco on 40 to 50cc saws

Man she worked that woodpile over with that x27??!! Lol

She's mean. Hope she mellow s with age. I don't notice any roughness and the chain looks ok to me. I believe some other members run them without issue. The bar is lo pro though.

Ya I run a 16 Cannon Supermini low profile bar with a regular 3/8 rim. Sounds alil rough. This new sprocket from dave will fix her up though

Does Oregon make picco chain like Stihl PS?

 

[psuiewalsh]

Think 91vxl is close.

Think 91vxl is close.

Ok thanks. That Stihl PS is upwards of 27$ for a 62dl. That vxl is much cheaper!!

 

[psuiewalsh]

Roll of PS was 300 at the dealer.

 

[MustangMike]

Yea, but Stihl is better chain! Find a good dealer, or contact Mark.

PS is the only one that's full chisel that I've seen. Everything else is chamfer or semi chisel

I love those cannon super mini bars, mine are .325 pitch.

I dont mind the difference between the OE orange and having silver on the NE...maybe what folks dont like is the flaking of the silver paint. ?

Nice touch with the polished handle. Lookin good Keith! I'm going to paint my clutch cover soon. I don't mind the gray but it's just not as durable as my orange cover saws.
