Pimp my 346XP

OE, NE, plastic case hybrid...they are all awesome.

I've ordered an AM muffler and found a super deal on an OEM EL18B carburetor assembly for the 346OE with the choke, kill switch, and filter mount so I snagged it.
I'll order an EL42 carburetor and a 357/359 air filter mount after I get the saw up and running.
Thank you everyone for your input.

Don't forget about the ones wearing RED!

I really like 199s, but in my experience they're unnecessary on a 346 unless you're opening up the jug. In fact, some throttle response will be lost.

I've not notice any negative issues running Walbro 199's on nearly stock 346s'. Even on the 45cc.

Nothing in the cut. Mine feel like they give back a little of the snappiness from a muffler mod.

Got to at least have the muffler opened up to run the larger carb. They feel a lil stronger to me with the larger carb and still snappy throttle.

I've bought them on ebay. The 190 & 191 also work. If you can't find a Walbro, the Zama EL42 is almost as good.

This carbeltater talk is confusing. Good thing we’re not talking about motorsickles

Actually I hope everyone forgets all about the red and black ones (my favorite). Those are no good. Every jonsered "red and black" saw out there is garbage. I want to save everyone the trouble that they will get into by owning one. So send all of them to me for proper disposal.

After waiting for parts and other constraints on my time I finished squeezing in the EL42 in to my 346NE project saw. I should have followed the advise I was given.
My high jet is at the low stop and still running so rich than I can barely pull 12k at WOT. I know I could clip the low stop and lean it out further, but I have concerns about having it adjusted so close to its seat. When I have the opportunity I'll find the EL38 and install it.

My 350/346 with NE OEM cylinder runs awful strong with a stock 350 carburetor.I don't personally think it needs a better flowing carb at present.Then again...

My 350 ported with the bigger carb recommendations here slices through wood. I have two 346 Xperia’s sleeping here.
