The 346 intake boot is larger ID where it meets the cylinder than the 357. But the 357 one is larger on the carb side. Weird! So I just use the 346 boot with 199 carbs..
So the 199 bolts right up to the 346 intake??? And does one HAVE to run 357/9 filter mount/elbow and filter to run the 199? Or does the 346 elbow and filter work?? Just curious if people do that to help airflow or if there is some sort of fitment issue that arises when swapping to the 199 carb....

What's a 346?
Apparently some old fogey saw that some young whipersnapper wiz bang techie kids think needs to have more power then it comes with stock to make it useful-er....

but man it's "balanced" ...

Until you set it on the ground.....then it flops over like a drunk old fogey sailor...

You might find those unwieldy. Your 16 bar will turn into a 13". There are custom ones that are better.

The 199 (or EL42) will bolt straight up to the 346, you don't have to change anything else. The 357/359 filter holder and elbow simply flows more air so you can get a little more power. Most of the benefit is in the larger carb IMO.

For anyone who hasnt tried the small mount Cannon Supermini bars , they r more narrow in height and pretty light. The 16" weighs 1.6 lbs

I run a 16" .325 .058 Total with 25 RS chain on my all stock (even the muffler) 346, awesome combination on it.
