346xp Porting

[Crispin]

Would be grateful for some advice from those with knowledge of doing this:

 

- is it worth doing

- what would it involve

- any recommendations for who could do it (if it's involved)

- what sort of cost should I expect?

 

Any help would be really appreciated

 

Thanks

It is well worth doing . I have one ( amongst others ) that " spud " ported for me a few years ago . It transforms it . Runs faster , stronger and cooler . Currently on a 15" bar full chiz chain and driven by an 8 pin sprocket . Give spud a PM . Money well spent !

1. Yes

2. Widening intake, exhaust ports, transfers and a muffler mod

3. Spud or petermate390xp, most use spudulike.

4. That's between you and spud to discuss!

 

Ported saws are like marmite tbh, I love em, many people do too, but I've worked with lads who have tried and hated them as they're "too powerful".

 

Are you planning on doing it yourself or sending it away?

Spud did a 346xp for me a couple of years ago. I have a ported and unported one.

If I go to a small job I will take the unported then its gutless now Im used to the ported. I only take the unported to try and preserve the ported.

As Stubby says Its money well spent,a huge time saver. If two identical twins went out with identical saws to identical jobs. The ported user would go home much earlier. FACT!

 

The 346 was a fab saw to start win.

 

 

Cost depending on whats involved, done properly probably the price of a crummy saw or less including courier I would guess. Don't quote me on that. If it saves you 20 hours work Its a no brainer and it will.

 

If I was full time arb all mine would be ported. It brings them beyond many newer models in equivalent power/size.

Thanks Eddie.......... never found anybody not like a ported saw though. Some say they are a bit loud but they are as addictive as illegal drugs - even my blower and strimmer are ported:lol:

I second all that is said above.

If you're thinking of getting a saw ported, I say give it a go. Money well spent and puts a smile on your face every time you use it!
