Husky 346 NE Echo 501

[bwalker]

Nice NE 346 just sold for 400 shipped in my CR group. Least guy said he wanted it. Hasnt marked sold yet.

Was listed FS this morning.

Has that dang cat muffler too. But easy fix.

I wouldnt sell mine for that.

Just out of curiosity, what would you want for yours?

Not FS.

Local ran it and wanted it bad. I had just sold him a 99 OE 346.

So will be upgrading his to a NE OEM top end kit.

2 NE and 2 OE

Friend talked me out of this 346xpG NE last year for 6.

I should have keep that one. But didnt. I dont cut in super cold anymore unless a have to. So heated handles and heated carb more important to him up north of me.

490 worse even with p+c used and limited coil. 501 4910 and you wonder why they cant breath.

501 4910 has 4 slits and a 490 has 3 tiny ones. SMH. 491 = 490

Dont forget to toss that inner tube too. Open up like a normal husky deflector in the front.

I despise the plastic handles on any saw myself. IMHO they vibrate more.

Compared my metal handle 501 with thick rubber coating to plastic handle one like on 4910 490.

Another guy with 590 620 noticed same thing and swapped handles on saws to see. He said metal handle on 590 also vibrated less then the cheap plastic handle. 620 with the plastic handle then vibrated more to him, testing.

Echo 4910 with the vibrating plastic handles. Here is what Corey did to go 572 metal full wrap on his tester back in the day. He stated as soon as went metal with rubber coating vibrations were lot less.

I have noticed the difference in my 501 with aluminum handle and thick rubber coating compared to my plastic handle one.

Not that I need a FW on 50cc but 50 buck for 501 half wrap new.

Buy a whole dang 572 kit for the price on a 501 handle too.
Clutch cover, handle, west coast spikes etc etc. Crazy good price

Some guy said the metal handle was heavier then the plastic handle and he can feel it in the handles. Really?

I just happen to have both.

Not only does the 501 aluminum handle with thick rubber coating have less vibration then the 4910 490 cheap plastic handle.
It actually weighs less too just by a hair.

Say what?
