1995 023 stihl used every day(6 hrs friday) same pot n piston!

046 must be something like a 1996/7 runs spot on and never lets me down

[Big 'Ammer]

1993 262xp.

 

Runs sweet as, but has just been put in second place with 361W.

 

Interestingly, put both saws head to head into some ash logs with new chains on, and there was nowt to pick between them speed wise.

 

Not a proper test, but both had 15" bars, stihl chains, Husky on .325 and Stihl on 3/8.

 

Stihl was on semi, husky on chisel.

1996 stihl 044, got it last year from a customer who was scared of it. He had bought it new when they moved into a house with an open fire to sort out fuel but had only used it a couple of times, original chain, never been sharpened.

Husky 242XP; 1997 machine and a 2000 machine. 1999 Stihl 036 as good as the day it came out the factory too...
