It is an early saw as it does not have a purge on it, however good solid little saw and well worth it if it runs ok, and not been molested with after market parts on it ( cylinder etc ).

This .

I think its " open transfers " as opposed to closed like the 346 but that does not make it a bad saw . As most on here know I am a pro Husqvarna man so if it runs ( does not die when up to temp ) and you want it then yes , buy it .

I think it was closed transfers but with less aggressive tuning as the 346 but more torque. I ported one a few years back for an arbtalker....I believe he liked it.

A bit of trvia for you, it started life as the 351, it was increased slightly in capacity to take it into another emmissions bracket to get it through C.E.

The purge is hidden behind the pull start handle 😉

Does purge make it likely to be newish?, what year roughly was it added

When massaged seller he said saw runs fine.

I have offered to visit to see saw running but he said he is not free, the following day I messaged again and he said sold subjected to collection but advert still out so not sure what is going on.
