I've been fortunate to do a lot of traveling in my life so far. And by far hottest place I've ever been was in Alabama in the SW corner. Holy sheep **** it was like stepping into a wall of sweaty death.

I only survived due to my stellar skills with duck tapes mini vans and bear piss. I was fortunate to have studied under McGuyver

This sure ain't THE way to do a 346.....just the way I do one. :msp_smile:
I made a video.......forgot the camera in the shop and am too tired to go get it.
No, but we know that a 2153 ported that way beat the 550xp you ported, and the MS261 (that needed a lot more work) by a larger margin....

That's true Niko.......but as crazy as this may sound......I would rather use a ported 261 as a dedicated worksaw.

That's odd, as it doesn't handle nearly as well either - but people are different!

That's poop on a stick I thought I was in trouble. I've yet to have a go with a 261. But I really loved the smoothness from the auto tune stuff.

My 550 trumps all my other saws when it comes to my go to saw... Hands down. Pull the cord and go!

I wish mine 550 did. It just can't keep up to the 261 Brad did for me. My 261 has electric like throttle response and tons of power. Does the 550 handle better probably, but throttle response and high end scream of the 261 matter more to me. Not to mention the fact that both saws sat for three weeks and the 261 fired 2nd pull and 20 pulls later 550 fired.
I may just have a dud but the more I am around the 550 the less happy I am with it. I have also noticed an increasing number of 550's for sale in a very short launch period for the unit.

I feel the same way about the 550, usually it's no more than a two puller though, add a ill mweba work to it and then a pop up pushing 195 comp... It's got the wow factor I like so much.. Every man has his go to saw though. Mines the 550, many will never part with ere 346, I feel sort for mine, I only run it just because I don't want it to feel left out. I've never ran a 261 so I can't comment on that saw other then lots of great people say good things about it. Cheers!

Cheers!! I should of mentioned that my 550 still needs some attention. It is still unmolested.

I can make a 346 or a 550 faster than a 261.......I like the torque that the 261 has though.
