I thought about it, but didn't want to give ya'll any more ammo. That pic of me with a Stihl hat & runnin Stephen's 460 still huants me from time to time.



Last I checked:confused:

Ah shucks and stuff. Cornpone and grits or something.:hmm3grin2orange:
 
You asked fer it, Are you sure you want a vid????:msp_w00t:

I finally got the video I was looking for! Thank goodness it wasn't like the picture lol!

It has a slight lull right off of idle. Probably due to the high intake duration, but other than that it's very snappy with plenty of pull. The last three tanks were noodlein some oak that was longer than the bar and it held rpms even when I was pushin it hard. It's getting better with every tank I put through it. I'll admit that it turned out to be a lil hotter than the work saw I'd planned on.

What kind of RPM's do you have that saw turning? Did you have to do anything to the carb to add any fuel etc?

Not sure on the rpm's. I need to git a tach. Sunfish is commin to the shop in the mornin & I hope he brings his tach & I'll let ya know what it's turnin. As far as the fuel system goes, it's all stock.

Another GTG and no invite I see how it is wait till Les finds out
 
I'll bring my tach. We'll also run it against a stock 357xp for comparison and will see how the old, 'tweaked' 346 measures up.:msp_biggrin:

Be there in a bit.

Thanks fer commin down Don, also thanks fer the suasage bisquits:msp_wub:. You done a good job on that 346, real strong pullin 45cc saw:clap:. I'll let you comment on the 357 vs 290. I can't bring myself to say that a Stihl was faster than a Husky. Well, I guess I just did:msp_unsure:

Only a 'Stump Broke' Stihl can beat a Husky. :msp_w00t:

Yep, the Stump Broke 290 felt stronger and cut faster than the 357xp. Very impressed with what Stumpy did with a lowly ms290. Very impressed!

That lil 346 is a ripper. I love it!

Good visit man! And I'm very much looking forward to my first Top Secret Stump Broke project saw. :msp_thumbsup:
