Husky T540

[Mark Bolam]

I know you're probably sick to death of being mithered about this saw, but I understand you had a prototype?

 

Do you know if it will accept the Stihl no-spill fuel and oil nozzles?

 

I looked at a Husky 242 for a customer last week and noticed the aperture was too small, like trying to stick a diesel nozzle in an unleaded tank.

 

Surely Husky wouldn't be so small minded? Their combi cans are so awful I threw my last one on the fire!

Im always mithering the husky rep about the saw too so dont worry about asking.

 

Although I havent a clue tbh, sorry.

 

We use the husky combi, yep I know it can be a right PITA, we just never got round to buying a stihl one!

 

Although I also hassled the rep about its faults and apparently they are doing something about it!

 

I doubt I will be able to get hold of one again in the near future well not before they are released, but if I do or can find out I will let you know mate.

 

Im surprised the stihl nozzles dont fit the other saws though, I never knew it was a problem!

 

BTW you will want one as they are a fantastic saw so you might just have to buy a new huskly combi can.

if you buy one mither for a free combi can

[Mark_Skyland]

If anyone from Arbtalk wants to preorder the T540 from us then yes, we will sort them out with a free combi can.

 

The one we had had the old style filler caps unlike the one we have on the web site.

Thinking back I'm am fairly sure they were quite small.

The main problem with the Husky combi can was the non-spill spout was utter crap and the orange plastic was too thick to see how much fuel you had left.

[Mark_Skyland]

Yep thats what I told the rep, also would be handy if it had a filler on the top so you dont have to stand it at an angle to fill it right up. He thought I was pushing my luck at that one!

 

Apparently they are sorting a transparent one out and I do hope they sort the auto filler as it only works great for about 20 minutes from new.
