I bought a 346xp (oe) from here. I opened it up and modded it. It bored me. I opened it up more, still bored. I did this four times, taking more and more out of the ports on this saw. It never did run like I thought it should.
I got pissed and drunk one night and tore down my 350. It cut circles around the 346. 346 is gone, 350 still runs like a champ!
Understand now?
(Sorry, my back has me all screwed up and I am killing on pain killers. It's nothing against anyone, I just hurt!)

I would so love to get schooled!!!
It's funny, I had the 346 and 350 for a while, both about the same mods. About EVERYBODY that ran them chose the 350.
Put a 20" bar on anything you choose, then come run against the 046 I own.
School me tool.

The ported 026/260s need more gas, try one with a 044 carb.

BTDT. The back thing. Sucks. Sucks big time. Spent years in back therapy myself.
I ran an old edition 346 and was not impressed. Sling'r modded a new edition 346 for BookerDog and it impressed the snot out of some really hard nosed grizzly torque monger logger types at the PNW GTG here last weekend. I was impressed most by their impression of that saw more than anything else there, really.

That made all the difference in the world with mine. That's way beyond typical woods porting though.

Comes out in the wash when you have to buy a coil for the 346.
And a muffler
. Getting the 044 carb on the 260 require a bit more work though.sawinredneck

Yeah, the OE's had NO tourqe!! NONE!!!!
I am glad to hear you that exited about the ne's, gives me a bit more hope. I was thinking the 353's or a slim chance at a blown up 357 were my only chance at redemption!
I modded the muffler on mine before I ever cut with it. I buried the bar in hardwood on the first tank and was impressed from the get go.

No shirt? I forgot about the 346 limiter in the coil. Makes modding more spendy. The muffler I assumed, like any saw mod. :monkey:
Any other option on the 026 other than an 044 carb? Seems a bit of a steep step UP for the baby 50cc.
I just did one Monday. It was brand new and turning 15,200, and could probabaly go 15,500. That's with the felt filter. It also didn't exhibit any of the idle problems I've had with mine. They definately run very nice once modded.

I don't care who you send that 260 to, it will always be a turd! I don't know what Stihls problem is, but they can't build a 50cc saw to save their butt!!
I'm a Stihl man, but it's true!! The 260 has been dead for a long time and the 270 was a joke before it started!! And yes, I HAVE run them.

I was referring to those with a cat muffler requiring a whole new muffler. The 044 carb runs like a stock saw only way stronger and faster. Mine jumped from about 15,800 to 17,400 with about 175 PSI compression. The exhaust was not raised to get these RPMs.
