Yeah it does, cheers that helps a lot.

The muffler bracket also supports it being a 50cc. There are only two types of bore, 42mm and 44.3mm, the rest are Chinese versions of the original.

Best try to clean the bore, 346XPs tend to score a bit more than most but worth a try then if OK, stick a Meteor piston in it. These saws have a couple of issues worth checking on rebuild and take a little more care than some but other than that, plain sailing!

Cheers mate, much appreciated, I do still intend to get it to you it's just my only saw at the moment after the others got 'knicked' from the bosses van. What issues should I check for in particular?

Air leaks from the clutch side crank seal and inlet manifold!

I wish I could afford another one mate spent a fortune replacing kit that was supposedly knicked out of my now ex-boss's pick up. My gear was apparently knicked but theirs was left behind even though mine was underneath theirs. No broken windows or popped locks so I'm a little suspicious of what actually happened.
