Ah so thats why she was grouchy! I only had 5 saws in the kitchen and she stubbed her foot on one. Thanks god for double glazing and i'm not that good at lip reading

[THE88MAN]

mine has been and its 3 years old,people seem to have trouble starting it though but ive got it figured its pretty damn easy really and i feel like losing my temper with my groundy when he cant get it going! I can say i look after my saws i evan keep them in the house! is that wrong!

my 88 goes straight under my bed when the word is the gypo's are about,i joke not!

The next saw I buy will be a 660, when they finally come with locking caps. "

 

the 650/660/880 will never be up-dated to the (imo stupid) flippy caps... to change to the new-fangled caps would involve casting new crancase moulds which is not cost efective for the bigger saws that are sold in lower numbers. they will all be phased out for the 2010 EPA regs change anyways.....

 

you'll have to wait for the 661 for flippy fuel/oil caps

you could always put a 25" bar on a 361 (with flippy fuel caps),tune it,sharpen it and cut just about anything with it,keeping an 88 and a 353 as back up

you could do just that, the 361 is a mighty fine machine (the best husky that stihl ever made)...

 

but i just dont get flippy caps... if it aint broke, dont go fixing it

 

 

i'll concede the 353 is a wicked backup saw tho

ditto,i think they're crap,especially on the smaller saws,and every different model they open at different angles,what's that about?! husky did it though years ago with the "spanner" fitment,my trouble was i was 1/2 mile down the wood and the "spanner" was in the van!! how's that new 346 jd? i can't find it on any sites or at my dealers,they still pushing old stock

[tree_beard]

loving the new 346xpg... noticably more grunt than most 50cc saws, and handles real nice... reminds me of the 254.

 

but yeah, the husky site doesnt list it, and most dealers arent up to speed on the changes to the saw... it should really have been called the 352xp... and dont get me started on the 575/576 debacle... but thats just marketing bs... the saws still a winner

880 have been new cap for 2+ years, once stilh have used up the screw cap castings they'll change for the vastly IMPROVED caps.

 

Why any one would not like them is quite beyond me ............. but then when colour TV arrived some people still preferred black and white
