Difference between 051 and 051av

[muttley9050]

Hi,

Im guessing theres not much difference between these saws, so if i was to buy a 051 non runner as a donor saw for the 051av's that i use for milling, would it be compatible.

Thanks in advance

It would. AV stands for anti-vibration. It's the way the handle is mounted, separated from the engine and bar by rubber buffers, at the back of the handle, under the top cover and at the front at the base, in behind the bar cover.

 

Other than the AV parts, and associated handle mounts etc, it's the same.

 

Should add that the reason suffixes such as AV, E and Q are no longer used is because these are now standard features, so it's redundant when they cease to be options.

p.s. haven't forgotten to look for a bar cover, but there's no power in the shed and I've been getting home too late to go out there and search through the boxes by torchlight!

Thanks Alec, thats exactly what i thought, but better to check before shelling out.

No worries on the cover, still got two running, just want to getthe spare totally sorted before i go to do a large elm.

Thanks

James
