Thanks buddy! It would be like a new saw if I did as so much needs doing 😂
Nice video. My favourite is the old 254. I have two, one fully rebuilt and one in the process of being rebuilt. Both bought new by me in the 90’s and then given away in the early 2000’s. Got them back this year and both in need of attention but easy to work on. Happy Christmas

My old man ran 254s for the best part of two decades and loved every moment of it. I think he had atleast three in total, switched to the 357 when the 254 got discontinued.

Love the 346! I currently have 2 just sold the new edition and a original edition. I’m in process of building another new edition 346
Ive just bought one of these from a mate of mine. I found this video extremely interesting.

346xpg OE 45cc with a 42mm bore as opposed to the ne being 50.1cc @ 44.3mm x 32mm 2.5kw to 2.7kw respectively. The the OE 346 was made to replace the 246xp, though I’m lead to believe the ne was brought about as emissions regs are lighter on higher capacity engines so bringing it over 50cc allowed it to survive tightening emissions regs. That and 50cc saws where coming to be more popular around that time due to the obvious increase in power and torque making it a more “all round saw”

Most of the new ones came with the fuel/primer bulbs. I prefer the old chassis with the quick/strap top cover, front exhaust bracket and no primer bulb.

@@7eis all NE editions came with a primer, though I’ve never understood why people dislike primers on saws. though the muffler support can only be a good thing, I believe all of the ne and Oe 346s had quick release top covers it was only the early 353 that had the bolt on cover I believe. I’d die for a 346xpg triobrake ! Machinery nation can you get the 550s as a triobrake ???

Could quite easily hav been rebuilt. Strip it down, replace crank seals, piston (cylinder if scored), fuel line and a carb kit. If a saw doesn't start in 10 pulls theres something wrong with it, just stop trying.
Great video the three series is great I still reach for my 353 before my 550 every day.

As a gardener, I don't use chainsaws that much but do have a 455 Rancher, which I find excellent. I do use hedgecutters a lot, so is there any chance of doing a review on the Husqvarna 522HDR75X? I know it's not a brand new product, but there is almost nothing on Utube about it. Just think more people need to know about it as it is a phenomenal machine!
Watching you try start it is why I switched to battery saws 😂

Would you happen to have a top cylinder cover for a 346xp pre 2008 that doesn't have the primer bulb hole that you would be willing to sell?

These often have the plastic intake boot clamp go bad. Husqvarna offers a metal clamp. This will keep it from going lean and ruining the cylinder.

Hello there, yes I agree that it is a great saw 👍🏻 light weight but got some nice torque 👍🏻 In my opinion the best 50cc Professional saw is the Mighty 026&260 from Stihl, but that doesnt mean that I dont like other saws. Everyone has its own favourite. Greetings and merry Christmas from germany

@@carjepseb if I would use it just to cut my own wood I would go with the good old 026 and 260 Stihl. No Electronics, no problems 😁 and parts are still available. But I use them as a Professional, so I take the 261 with me. Great lightweight saw and cuts fast throug anything. But still keep my old Boys as a backup if one breaks down. Also the Husqvarna 550 XP Mark 2 is a great saw. Plenty of power and very well balanced

20 minutes of my life I will never get back. Had to milk out that 20 for the monitization, hugh? That was like watching a drunk school girl continuously giggle why trying too hard to be cute. It is pretty rare to have an OE 45cc label intact and on a saw that would clean up extremely well. I can't believe he is going to make it a scrap pile saw. This guy doesn't have a mechanical bone in his feminine body. Anyone whonis anyone would have started out with a compression check to know if it had just enough compression to somewhat run. Seriously, the WORSE saw video I have ever seen. Also, no fuel has a 5 year shelf life...
