Hello gang.
I acquired a new 350 a few years ago for almost nothing. I’ve barely used it and mostly for light sapling clearing and such. My go to saws are a 440 and a MMWS 261(carb).
I was thinking of porting the 350 but could get a new 550xp for just a bit more.
What do you all think?
My thoughts are the 350 is pretty old and a homeowner saw even though it’s in great shape. The 550xp seems to make good Hp according to a video I saw where he put it on a Dino test. I would still use it as a back to the ported 261 and general light duty.
I’m leaning towards the 550 as it’s new and shiny. Plus my Dad’s Jred 2260 auto tune is a beast and I’m curious to try that system out.
Help me decide!
