Husky 346 NE Echo 501

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Now this will be the tell if I keep that 346 NE or not.
Echo 501.
I will wait till other open regular muffler shows up.
I know husky is smoother due to antivibe.
From when I was comparing OE 346 and other Echo.

346 at 13.1K with the 14.1k coil.

501 muffler been opened up so should help it keep up some.

But ya stock muffler was pretty lame with their stock safe tune in the 11's. She is in 13's now too.

Going to run the new husky C33 325 on both saws.

That 501 looks to be 1.5-2 inches wider in the body. That alone is a big downer, imo.

I'd be curious how different the handlebars are. Shape, size, and positioning.

Guarantee the 346 will take it, especially w/o the cat muffler. Nothing wrong with either saw, but the 346 is a legendary 50cc for a reason
