But that's auto tune?? But it should work and be reliable not a pull and hope.

Now there in lies the "heap of junk" thing I like the pull and hope quote that saw should be up to working all day every day ....... I've seen one go flying across a yard being followed by numerous expletives .........it don't like getting hot .........which shouldn't bother it but ......it does ......again my experience (my cutting buddy had one......note the had:lol:)

I run an old stihl 026 and a 66 and neither have ever given me a problem, I also have a 200 rear handle which is also a nice little saw for arb.

I had a 365 xp new years ago and it was a pita, Husky gave me a ruff time and I have never touched one since.

I can't fault, 201t or 660 or blower or h cutter guess wat all stihl

Hi all,

After some advice..

So looks like I need a new saw AGAIN,

started off with a 261, fell to bits after a year so had to be rebuild and sold on, had a 550xp after 3 months that had new piston and head , a mate bought that off me,

So then bought a 560xp, its less than 2 months old and has just come back from having the hot start kit fitted to it along with new air filter and housing and new pull start. Don't get me wrong its probably the best firewood saw I've ever used however its no good to me if its totally unreliable

 

. . . And guess what it still keeps stalling,

I've had problems with both stihl and husk but seem to be more problems with husk,

Question is avoiding 261, do I get a new 241 or step up to the 441?

Any reviews on 241 & 441 as a groundie would be awsome,

 

Thanks

Josh.

 

HI JOSH your in box is full mate thanks jon
