I have both of these saws sitting on a shelf, both run well and are in VERY good shape but not sure that I need both. If I were to let one go to a new home which would I be better off keeping? OK, Troll time for the facts from Norway! ;D
-
I owned both stock and ported. The NE 50cc top has noticeable more torque as it should with the 4cc increase. I like my plastics on the OE 46cc better though. Plus the OE has no primer bulb which is what I prefer.

Thanks Cut, I feel the same way, both of mine are stock.

Put a NE 50cc top on the OE body and have the best of both worlds. ;)

Yes, except the difference is 5cc, not 4 (45 vs. 50). The OE is more of a specialized limbing saw (it actually replaced the 242xp), while the NE is more alround.
I like the primer bulb though, but it isn't a big deal.

I always screw up the cc on the OE for some reason. I go 45cc 46cc flip flop all the time for unknown reasons as seen in past postings. :D :D :D :P

I have both. Had the OE since early 2001 and have put a ton of hours on it. Had the NE since 2010... Both great saws! I'll keep em both!
I like my OE better, but it's ported and about 40% stronger/faster than the stock NE. I'll probably port the NE at some point, but it's just fine stock...

Yup, it is getting a bit "old"! ;D
The only 46cc Husky I know of is the 246.

I just looked at my NE 346 and it was sitting in a pool of bar oil. The OE saw is tight as a drum. Is there something peculiar about the NE and oil leaks? Just thought I would ask before I started checking it out.

The difference could just be in the temp/pressure etc. history after the last use, and the amount of oil in the tank (and in the bar mount area). ???

What did you find out on the 346NE oil leak?
Got a buddy saying his 353 is doing this. Hasnt brought it over for me to look at yet.
