With them both working well, how does the 341 compare with the 357 Dean?

I can't tell a difference Tom, although the 357 runs a bar a couple of inches less than the 341. The Husqy does seem to have a little more grunt but I put that down to the bar being shorter.

 

I must admit though, I pick up the husqy much more than the stihl if I'm doing logs/firewood down at the yard, but other than that it's a case of eeny meeny miny mo on saw selection in a morning

If you still need huskys number PM me, as I pick up my PMs first thing in the mornings and will send it back to you.

The 357 xp and xpg had a carb fault husky wont admit to. Mine was exactly the same ,as was a mates who bought his at the same time. We both got new carbs fitted at our own expense and they now run perfect.they were 2005 saws by the way.

Just read some earlier posts after writing my reply and it seems husky are admitting now. My repeir came from my own pocket DOH!

I had exactly the same problem - New carb and right as rain - I tried having the old carb cleaned in a sonic cleaner (whatever that is) - No joy - spoke with Husky who said it's a common problem - you can't see anthing wrong at all when you take the carb out, but for some reason it plays up - glad it's sorted!

Spent two days trying to contact Husqvarna Customer support, left an answerphone message the lot, no response.

 

Just says all techs are busy, goes into a queue, then after a minute or two goes onto answer machine.

 

This will be one more reason I stick with stihl.

 

Will try again today
