@@zzsquatchzz5079 Yes, it was totally maxed. Evidently light oiling is a common issue; same say it was environmentally driven. You could order hi-flow the factory, but many didn’t.
Sthil are just over complicated compared to husqvarna I have both and I'll work on husqvarna over Stihl any day these engineer s at Stihl keeping themselves in a job by making things more complicated all the time
I’ve worked a little on both. Love the ability to grease the Husky needle bearing thru the shaft. Didn’t much live changing the intake clamp on the 346xp though….almost impossible. Didn’t like STIHL using proprietary fuel lines; really? I have a video I haven’t released yet giving my thought on these two brands. Husky screwed things up by ruining their dealer network by selling thru box stores. The best saw may be Makita/Dolmar; No dealer network anymore and no longer making gas saws. My ported 7900 is a great machine. My favorite, however remains the 346XP. Does so much for being so little. Given all the pros and cons of STIHL vs Husky, the tie breaker is Husky’s air filtration being 10x better at bypassing most particulate past the filter altogether so they don’t load quickly, and making filters that are easy to clean. Until the latest series of Stihl’s Im would have given them the nod for ruggedness, but now they cut too much material out and the saws are more fragile and wiggly. I don’t particularly like cutters spinning at 14,000rpm and the saw feeling wiggly!
@TailgateTinkerer all good points but I think the heyday of chainsaws being built for the needs of the end user are over I think they are now being built to suit the needs of the environmental agencies. Most of the 3 series husqvarna saws are unbelievably good same as the 2 series. I've heard good stuff about the old dolmar saws I haven't got my hands on one yet . I'm looking for a husqvarna 346 I hear they are very very good saws but they don't come up on the second hand market very often here in Ireland. Looking forward to the next video. Great work
Here’s a vid of the 7900 vs 660. And me modifying mufflers on two 346XP’s. I have other chainsaw content also, but don’t shy away from looking at videos tinkering with Vettes and other things. This is for most a tinkering channel for guys who like to muse their heads and hands.

Dude this is a professional level video, keep on making videos.
@@scrapmechanicgamer3155 Thanks Scrap. Glad to get some more oil on this bar!
Nice job!!
Thanks Jose!
I'm assuming you checked the oil flow control screw on the bottom?
