I don't run it with both on just wanted to show them off for the pic.Weedeaterman would sure know on that bar though.
My one and only SugiHara... hard to believe that I won it on eBay for only $71! Nobody else even bid on it.
There's a guy near State College PA selling a 2011 390xp for $400. Not ported, but easily resolved at that price
I thought I would show the size differences in the sugihara bars Bothsame mount and are 18" one is 3/8 other is .325 The 3/8 total length is is just under 21 3/4 and is 1 "3/8 longer than the other
I have that same problem can't keep my hands off it. Maybe a 2153 would help but not the 550 C'mon MAN
Lighter, quicker, better balance and fuel effiency. What's not to like. Even though I sold my 550xp and kept 346xp and 2153. Edit: better anti vibe also.
Stock I might prefer a 550 (what's a stock saw), but a ported 346 will kick a ported 550 into the ditch. The weight is only 4oz difference bw the two and I can't tell any difference in the vibes.
I love the way a 550 545 handles and feels in the hands compared to a 346. I would take a 545 over a 346 let alone the 550 over it. 346 feels so crappy in the hands in the cut once you put time on both IMO. Ported yes a 346 if your into cookie cutting and times etc. Then again if you dont have a 357 carb on your 346 you left another 10% on the table. Stock for stock which 99% of the world out there uses. 545 550 hands down.
