Dealer friend of mine got a lead on some new 346's with 16" set ups. He has them back in stock for a short time right now.
They wont last long. Is it Spike60?

The Husqy dealers here seem not to know about the shortage...

So my little 445 saw arrived today. Instantly I see a split in the cardboard shipping box, and I start to worry.
Sure enough, they took off the bar and chain and the bar is now collecting dust
at a UPS center somewhere between here and there.
I opened the box and smelt gasoline BIG TIME. The packing newspaper is soaked
w/ fuel AND the chain bar is missing, you can so see where they put the bar on edge and
it simply wore a hole in the corner of the box and fell out... DO you suppose the plane ride
to altitude tweeked a diaphragm or something because the gas cap on the machine
has a good o ring and it does not leak.
That is the beginning.
I try to start it and NOTHING. I pull the plug and it looks like it runs good, not
wet, not all black, a light burnt brown electrode. I clean the plug and give things a
squirt of Starter fluid, no luck. Then I pull the plug and gap it to .50+/- mm, it
was really wide and no start still.
I pull and clean the air filter.
I check for a spark.
I pull out the fuel filter and blow it out.
I put newer mix gas in it.
I squirt cleaned carb linkages.
I reread starting procedures for the 6th time.
Still nothing.
Now I am as mad as a raped ape and I go'N grab a "beverage" and hit the web for answers.
I go looking for an online troubleshooting something and find nothing.
Hours passed aimlessly wandering the web looking for a manual that
tell me how to do xyz's job and nothing.
Finally I find the name of the carb company, Zuma EF 20 I think it is.
It says HERE to screw both high and low all the way in then out 2 turns
then screw the throttle screw all the way in. Of corse I can not
adjust the L&H, but I did screw the idle screw all the way in a lONG WAYS and then It started.
I turned the idle screw out maybe 4 or so turns and it settled down
into a good slow idle. It is very responsive. Lots of umph!
And yes I see ( I Think) I need a special tool for L & H . Anyone got one to
sell me or tell me what/where to buy it?
Thank u !
