First Chain Saw

[WoodED]

MS200 seem to be rare, think I'm gonna go Husky 346............200t top handle puts me off,especially if I get a kick,less stable because your hands are too close together. I've found a 200 rear handle on ebay but it's very vague and no effort to describe it's life so far !!!

 

Someone's offered me a 346 for around the 250 mark so I'll probably take that.

 

is it a 346xp with the silver clutch cover?

There isn't a non xp 346...

It dont matter to me if it is a 46cc OE 346 or a 50cc NE 346. Now if you are running stock and bucking the 50cc is nicer. But if you are limbing the 46cc handles much nicer and tad lighter and higher rpms. JMO since I owned 1 46cc and 2 50cc. I like the 46cc versions for limbing.

 

Here is my woods ported 46cc 346 running 3/8 full chisel chain and 7T and out cuts a muffler modded 262xp and runs right with a 365 SP. All saws ran same chain stihl RS and 7T gear.
