Sorry! Need saw selection advice

[cornish wood burner]

Ive only ever had one starting problem with my 365, that was the very first time I picked it up and used the de-comp....

 

Agreed, the decomp makes things worse. Never ever use it, even if your saw is right.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give the 365 a chance but inform my guys to never ever use the decomp.

Just by way of follow up,

Leaning towards the dolmar as the retailer is my usual service agent and is local. He'll also upgrade to heated handles for 750€.

 

The echo is working out awkward as th local supplier is moving away from Echo back to Stihl which would leave me almost 2hrs away from nearest supplier.

 

The Husqvarna agent is simply being sloppy and hasn't come back with a price after 3x attempts to quote. Historically ive had problems with their quality of service anyway so think I'll avoid them.

Hi Coin ,

 

Had a similar problem, I'm a weekend warrior too. After much research, I bought a 70cc Jonsered 2172 (I believe similar to the husky 372xp ). No fancy autotune, more saw than I will probably ever need, a bit heavy at times, so my next project is a 50cc.

 

You have the 50cc more than covered with the 346xp ,would you not be better with a 70 with an 18" bar.

I looked hard at the echo 620sx, but the local dealer price was insane and its heavy for a 60cc compared to the 362cm stihl and the 560xp.

 

Noticed you are quoting your prices in euro's if by chance you are in rep. of Ireland drop me a pm as I found great deals in the north with sterling as it is at present.

 

By the way like 365xp users I find 2172 starts way quicker if i don't use the decompression valve.
