346xp or 550xp

[spudulike]

The 346xp as the edge on simplicity - pull and trim the carb limiter tabs so you have full adjustment range back, pop off the muffler and open up the exhaust outlet with a die grinder, put everything back together and you've got a great runner of a saw. No computers, probably no catalytic converter muffler (though you can easily ditch that for an earlier non-cat muffler), and a real carb with adjustments. Hard to beat that!

 

Pretty much my thoughts, nice simple tune up on a 346, only used the 560 and that really flies as well - just depends on the home maintenance aspect - the 550 does it all with electronics, hell knows what to do if that goes astray:001_huh:

Stick it on ebay as lightly used and buy a new one
