365 on ebay - something just not quite right

Husqvarna 365 66cc Logging saws Import of crankshaft box Petrol Chain Saw | eBay

 

At a glance looks pretty normal but there's a few little bitts make me think it's a fake. Writing on bar, stickers, odd colours, some of the moulding.

 

If it is a fake, it's a reasonably convincing one. Bit scary that.

He's copied the description straight from the manual.

Mmmm I see what you mean . There is fading on the all;y parts and what looks like " After market " plastics and tank . Think it is a real one withe some fake bits on .

[Stubby]

The bar writing and bar paint are the wrong shade . The av springs are shiney not blued . the plastics are direct copies but not OEM as is the fuel tank . The exhaust looks rite and the crank caases . Just my take on it .

I'm wondering about the title. If the crankshaft housing is original and the rest is fake/aftermarket. Then he has done nothing wrong other than say that the rest of the parts are not genuine....

Exactly . Some of the aftermarket plastics are not as well finished ( corner rads etc ) and have some distortion in them but they are supposed to be direct copies rather than sorta lookalikes if you see what I mean . I rthink its a proper Husky withe replacement non OEM parts .

Perhaps its the elusive 365XP.

Chinese copy - and a whole lot more accurate than the old joke fakes. It was only a matter of time. Bar nuts, wrong bar, bar paint (black writing), colour mismatches, av spring colour, fuel and oil caps incorrect for model, rivets holding serial no plate - too small, choke lever (?), dawgs, lots of others if you look hard enough.

 

Frightening.

 

and no the mayasian model isn't like that.

But surely if it was a genuine new one but had bits robbed off and replaced with non gen, it's not technically a brand new saw anymore is it?
