Jonsered 2149
By: man of stihl Date: August 20, 2014, 7:06 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have a 2149 with the 49cc (i think) open port top end. I
bought it at an auction but Its in good shape and I'm thinking
it will be a keeper.my question is should I buy a closed port
OEM 52cc 2152/late350 cylinder with a 353 piston or a 2153/346NE
cylinder? There is nothing wrong with the p&c in it now. I was
just wondering if there will be a huge difference. I currently
have a stock oe346 and the open port 2149 is real close to it.
So, what do you all think? 2152 cylinder/353 piston, 2153 p&c,
or leave as is?

Are you porting whatever you get or leaving stock? I still
think a 50cc 346 top would be hard to pass up from those
choices.

Curious if 346 will fit on a p5000?

In the 5000 the port lower transfers are in the cylinder wall?
The 346 they are in the base

Part of the MVP trick was to take out the cylinder wall where
the transfer was and make the 5000 a open port?

Marcel took the bridge out of the transfer on the saws I've
seen. I believe the p5000/500 series had both type cylinders
opened and closed. I'll have to look but the case may be
machined for open as standard?

Yep my MVP166 and copy of MVP's 5000's had the bridge removed in
all of them. Open port. ;) ;D

I never seen the 166 run but the 5000 was the runningest 3 cube
chainsaw I ever saw.

Buying the 353/2152 top end really doesn't offer any improvement
over what you have. 2153/346 is the only route to go if you are
going to replace it.
But........before tossing the current cylinder try deleting the
gasket and doing a muff mod. Those cylinders actually run pretty
good, and you might be surprised. As you already posted, it's
real close to the 346OE, and the difference is not huge at all.
Not enough to replace a perfectly good cylinder IMO.
