Good for your business mind.

Not really, only did a handful of conversions....5 tops! The MS200t has been the cash cow!

Don’t shoot me, but the auto deco valve worked well on the 335/338xpt

Mine seems fine... 😆

 

@ the OP: I recommend the narrow kerf .325 setup when you come to replace your bar. Much quicker cutting compared to standard

It just did not work well the 357, hose leaking or cracking, one way vale not working, valve carboning up

Is it actually no decomp  ( like the early 346xp ) or is it an auto decomp ?

No Stubby the deco valve has completely gone, this aids hot re starting, plus there is always some leakage at the Valve

What is it with Husqvarna and top handles.....everyone knows the MS200T is king........time to retire to the bunker.........discus between yourselves. First on the agenda, which saw picks up best when you give it some throttle after hitting the wood

[adw]

Give me a T540 any day, at least the muffler doesn't fall to bits, and whoever designed the throttle rod system wants shooting, each one to his own.

[spudulike]

The throttle rod system is infinitely easier to work on than the T540 throttle cable that needs serious re-engineering! Happy Christmas

Is that an 18" on it Jamie?

Yes it is an 18" bar on a 550xp mk2. It also has the Husqvarna Tool Strop Attachment on the handle as well,  I got it mainly for when I am up in a tree on a rope and harness... I was so impresses with a mates 550xp mk1 with its lightness and power.

So it is the first saw to turn to after a top handle before using a much heavier chainsaw..
