Both of those saws look new. Are you a PSP?![]()
Nope, just lucky with those two purchases.

Yesterday I think I found my ideal noodle cutting saw to knock down big ash rounds so that I can lift them onto the tailgate. I used a Stihl 046 with a 25" bar. Never bogged down. Both full chisel chain and semi were handled about the same. I can't help but like and admire the way this saw performed.
A few logs were so big that I needed to make six blocks. The 046 never complained.
Especially the one on the far right? I have a couple of those myself. Great runners
I'll do all of those things and thanks a lot. It has to be something rather simple. The idle is set right. It's the only saw I have ever run that will stay even or perhaps beat my Stihl 028 Super when it comes to power per weight and fuel economy. The Husky 353 is a winner and I have no idea why it was ever discontinued.Only thing I can pass on "as long as there aren't actual any faults to sort " is...make sure the L and H plus the Idle is set right, don't use the de-comp when hot if you can and make sure you use the warm start setting to start the saw.
I have a 353, it's cold blooded too. Leave it on fast idle for 15 seconds or so, then it's fine. I have no hot start issues, one pull. Great little saws. And a 346XP top end is a direct swapI'll do all of those things and thanks a lot. It has to be something rather simple. The idle is set right.
