Porting The NE346XP

[Woodrow]

Great info so far! What are the part numbers for the 357/359 intake parts and which filter needed to go along with a 199 carb on a 346xp ne? Need to order before sending mine for more bananas.

Ya but its more fun!!!

I owned both at same time. Couldnt tell the difference in the cuts. Till you put a stop watch on it.

I too am curious to know the differences between the many different Walbro carbs used on 357/9 saws.. My 357 has the 199 and I picked up a good used 175 for my 359 project I did over the winter. I did not do a side x side comparison, but the 175 seemed identical to the 199.

190/191 was for heat element system, due that reason they dont have part # 537 94 53 01 (it's the black plasting ring)
190/198 doesnt have accelerator pump far as I know, while 191/199 has the pump.
I really dont know why, but somehow I think it is because 191/199 was EPA carb and L system may be smaller, and to give them a proper acceleration they added acc pump.

When we study IPL for 174/175 and 190/191/198/199 we see that throttle shaft has different part number also, what bring it over to accelerator pump and no accelerator pump.

I'm now running 3/8 on two and .325 on an OE. I like 3/8 better.

agreed. I run 3/8 .50 chisel on the 2153.

I have cattle.......which means I'm poor.

Yeah, but it also means you eat well. (you'd think some meat would show up on his legs)

Have you considered just running the saw as it comes?

Are you daft? This is a chainsaw enthusiast forum. Louder, faster, more betterer

What fun would that be?

I guess I just prefer un-enhanced jugs.

To each his own sir. I'll readily admit that a overly loud saw gets to me after awhile. I've got a 346XP that Wigglesworth ported that hurts my ears. He put a little pipe in the muffler, and the pitch is just too high.

Matt's 346 is the loudest I've ever been around. 346 needs porting the most of any saw I've used besides a 660.
