Design and development

There is no carburated version of the engine, which would have been designated O-346 and therefore the base model is the IO-346.[1][2]

The IO-346 was designed to run on 91-98 avgas. The engine has a dry weight of 269¾ lb or 297 lb including the generator and starter. The ignition system consists of dual magnetos, one Scintilla S4RN-201 and one S4RN-205 or, alternatively, two Slick Electro 449 magnetos.[1][2]

Variants

IO-346-A
Base model, certified 27 July 1962[2]
IO-346-B
Identical to IO-346-A except it incorporates provisions for a hydraulic propeller control. Certified 23 June 1964.[2]

Applications

1965 model Beechcraft A23 Musketeer equipped with the IO-346 engine
