Just another junk chainsaw

[CalG]

Can you suggest a "porting specialist" for a Husky 346XP.

I've got a brace of 50cc saws and would like to see one of them "sparkle"/

If I had a port layout, I could do it myself, that is, I have the equipment , Measurment tools , pencile grinder etc, tools and ability. I just do NOT have the experience with numbers that work.

I have a list in my group.

Few I would use myself for a 346 to get a sweet work saw.

But wait time can be months for the good guys.

Better guys cut base and squish then set porting numbers to your uses.

Kevin in MI does a mean 346. But his wait time is in the months. He is that good.

@CalG Joe even does utube video's with his dyno and shows gains on work saws and some race builds c too.

Now remember there is 2 346. OE 45cc and NE 50cc

Thanks to E. for leading the horse to water. 3120 carbs.

The aftermarket WG to buy.

Not those other ones that use HT inside.

Then if needing H just have one of the trusted guys do it in these WG ones or oem one.

Not worth buying the aftermarket H side WG fakes with HT one by neojunk.

I made up a replacement exhaust port gasket to fit in where the original had gone missing on the old ProMac 10-10s/ It's a fiddly bit, just a rectangle of material only 1 3/8" on the long side, and a large rectangular hole on the inside. A little picture frame, not even any bolt holes the gasket fits in a recess between some raised ribs cast into the cylinder boss. I should have captured a picture, but...that's not me.

I used soft copper sheet, cut out with a sharp chisel, using the vise jaws as a guide. A fine rat tail file provided clean up. I didn't take the air shrouds off, So the fit was observed through a couple of fastener access holes in the sheet metal shrouds. I think I got pretty close to good.!

Tomorrow I'll gas up and see if it's a go. It usually just takes a squirt of fuel in the carb to get it to pop!
