I ported this saw for a member in NY........after a few hours of run time, it developed the dreaded 562 bog. :(

He was ready to pitch it under a skidder, but instead he traded it to me on a 346XP I had. I ran the saw for about an hour one day.....and sure enough......the bog was there, and most annoying.

I bought a new EL44 for the saw from TK and fitted it with the module from the EL46. I also shimmed the pickup on the throttle position sensor (TPS) out a little. That makes the TPS get a cleaner signal.

I've ran the saw for about half a tank since the new carb was installed.......and the bog is gone.

Total run time on this unit is less than 7 hours.

Now someone had been asking me about this saw.......but I get so many PMs......well, I can't recall who it was.

At any rate.......I wanna sell it. :laugh:

Never a shelf queen......this saw has a few blemishes.





The silver never fairs well on these things.....



The muffler has been modded with one of Jon's custom deflectors.....and is still screened.



Yeah.....it's a flippy cap saw.



The squish has been cut .030", and the base cut .007". It is not running a base gasket.



No chain rash....but no super cleanup either. Just blown off with an air hose.





I got some smaller stickers just for these saws. :)



Price? $750.00 shipped.
 
I have a June 2015 slot with Randy to port a 261 cm......This will be the first ported saw I have ran......If its true what a lot of you say here, I probably won't be able to run the 261 again after running this saw until I do get it ported... LOL
Yup, you can go ahead and drain the tank now. She's gonna' sit. :chainsaw:
 
Well I messed up on this listing. I meant to list a 550XP.....

Sometimes I think I need a secretary.
