a good top handle saw please

[CJM]

I'll just give a quick update on my husky 540 that I slated in this thread before I've eventually got it back after 1 month and 2 weeks in the dealers it's had the rear av spring replaced a new side plate and new software or firmware can't remember what he said it was.

Any way it runs like a beast now stacks of power and I don't need to choke it every 5 mins when I've turned it off, the new software has transformed it.

But I'm still worried about the quality of the plastics I can't see it lasting 2 years before I need to replace it

Yes your right there. That's all they got to do is have rummage thru the disused parts bin and call it the 202 and problem solved.

How,long after you bought it did the dealer have it back?

I had it for around a month before it went back, the dealer has had the saw longer than me.

I could of used it but if I'm paying £500+ for a saw I want it to work perfectly

That's right stick to your guns. I picked up mine tried it out and the oil pump was pissing out the chain oil so took it straight back. The lad at the dealer said he would have a look at it. I told look as much as you like but at £540 leaving my pocket less than an hour ago I would be walking out of the shop with a new one and if that one was **** then I would be back for the Stihl.
