+1 as much as we all appreciate big puddles, we appreciate the kit that works in them more:001_smile:
-
yep, the 08 and 08s also came with strimmer, hedge trimmer, drill, posthole borer and possibly outboard attachment(dont hold me to that one tho..) made from '62 until last year i think... whatever, the longest production run of any saw in history... and a bit of a dog
-
husky 61.... also still in production, sold in south america:thumbup1:
-
large stihl mount (like the 084/088 and indeed the 070 above) with 3/8 or .404 chain your choice, tho it'll probably have a .404 drive sprocket on it...
-
stihl 070... still produced and sold on the pacific and south american markets:biggrin: dont reckon that ones seen the inside of a german factory for a good few decades tho
-
a dare say he would be a very good person to ask... good luck fella:thumbup1: oh and if the top end ever goes on your 365... its only a different piston and cylinder away from being a 372xp:thumbup:
-
i tell a lie, the 371 seems to have a different part number... but it would probably work
-
the ignition module - husky part numbers 544 04 71-01(black un-rev limited version i think) and 544 04 72-01 (which i think is the blue rev-limited version like yours) both will work, its the same module as in the husky 371, 372 and 362... available through any husky dealer... or ebay perhaps
-
more new saws from stihl on the way... just announced, the ms441 C-M, with a full electronic "M-tronic" carburetor, that automatically re-tunes the carb for optimum running in all conditions (think husky 576xp autotune) and for all your 60odd cc budget 'farm' saw needs, the 311 and 391, already on german shelves, seems it might share a few components with the 362....
-
congratulations mate, excellent news
-
apparently the three top cover bolts only need a half-turn to release.... but i'm sceptical, seems like a step in the wrong direction
-
get that saw tuned properly... it sounds poorly shouldnt be able to bog a 100cc+ saw so easily in such soft small wood... and never trust a new chain (especially oregon/husky) the rakers always tend to need some work. other that the state of the saw, good job:001_smile:
-
thats stratocharged engines for you jon, 20% less fuel consumption tho... and up to 50% less harmfull emissions.. heavier and chunkier saws are the future!

springs do make for a smoother saw... and vibration levels are important these days... just cant be wrenching on pinched saws like you can with rubber mounts, and bigger saws (specifically when running long bars) either need stiffer springs or a combination of springs and rubbers, or it all feels a bit floppy.
-
it became available in certain regions of the u.s this past week... (i robbed the pics and info from the stihl us site) you'd have to ask your stihl dealer (who'd probably have to beg their stihl rep for any info, theyre a tight lipped bunch)
-
ahh, i thought they started using the improved swedish spring technology with the 441... i stand corrected, they started pinching ideas even earlier:lol:
-
walk down the log with 2 200t's wearing 30" bars, one in each hand... there you go, no-one can call you a moron after my answer:001_tongue:
-
the 362... stratocharged engine same power output (4.6bhp), weight increase from 5.6 to 5.9kg hd airfilter with pre-seperation (read husky style) spring anti-vibe mounts (read husky style:001_tongue:) one piece filter/cylinder cover secured with three torx bolts the future is here
-
sounded more like a saw so in need of service/tune/complete re-build that it wouldnt run unless the throttle was wide open... classic video
-
sadly not mate... makita in all their wisdom decided we (the u.k) dont need both the dolmar and makita range, where as the rest of the world can buy honest to god orange dolmars and their blue and grey siblings... you'll need to make a trip to europe (or anywhere else in the world), or if you dont mind not having c.e marks i could put you in touch with a dealer in the u.s. go dolmar:thumbup1:
-
both the 254 and 262 were being produced up until last year or so (for the eastern european, south america, and asian markets)... parts should still be available from husky... check the latest ipls for superceded part numbers, and get your dealers to harass husky
-
there is a lot of wastage when chainsaw milling, for valuable timber like yew it would probably be worth getting in a bandmill... better finish, less waste in the milling, and less planing/sanding needed. depends on how easy it is to access/move the timber. probably get more milled in a day as well... just a thought. as for chainsaw milling prices... i have one day milling experience, but would do it for a cup of coffee and a slice of carrot cake (plus expenses of coming up from cornwall for the day:001_tongue:)
-
got mine second-hand, pre-assembled... get milling, its a whole lot more rewarding turning big bits of softwood into something interesting rather than firewood, everyone should have a mill, or at least a mate with a mill:thumbup:
-
had my first foray into the world of chainsaw milling today.... 8foot long 25"dia doug fir, on the deck since jan. used a husky 288 (purchased for a very reasonable sum from a mr lee winger:001_smile:), with 36" bar (courtesy of combined tree services, cheers dave)... running full-skip 3/8 chisel chain (a bit rough for milling, but hey its for 'rustic' benches)
