Husky 346 NE Echo 501

Guy I traded 4910 to said 4910 fastener same length as 501 used for handle.

So didn’t need shorten like 490 did. To use metal 501 handle

The black rear grip on 4910 is black plastic like on all saws I have ever known.

But the 501 offers rubber coated over metal there if you notice any vibrations there too.

Project packrat 346 tester for aftermarket topends. Just for kicks.

I decided not to clean up the ports or beveling. As I wanted to se what joe homeowner would try by him self.
44.3 warhawk that also looks just like Dukes one he offers.

She lives. Thats a start anyways.

Packrat.


Oh forgot to get a air filter.

Made around 10 cuts and impressed with stock 44.3 aftermarket cylinder.

Pulled carb for a rebuild kit afterwards.
Wish had done it while saw was apart or it's tank vent acting up.

4910 I traded to guy. Told him about better 501 set up handles. = Was out giving my 4910 a bit of a workout in the wood pile today.

Swapped back to the plastic handle to see if there really was a big difference in felt vibration between it and the alloy grab handle.

Running them back to back I'll tell you there's easily less vibration with the alloy handle! Great little saw for sure!

Didnt have the kit on hand for zama. Ordered 3 - 1 oem and 2 afm



Hoping to get a tan check side I like.
Hate the acetate plastic ones. Seen them in blue, clear and black.

Just a quick question please? What is it that is a problem with the acetate diaphragm. I just rebuilt a Zama carb and the kit had the clear diaphragm. Should I change it? Saw runs perfectly now after the rebuild.
Thanks!

Did you read the pic I posted. If it works for you fine. Just read it and see the LOW.

I prefer tan 1st, then rubber 2nd and only if no choice will I use that acetate one.

@huskihl may have a input since he does ported stuff.

OK, couldn’t read the text in the picture until enlarging it.
Thank You!
