    Just had a third look . The crank cases , although looking the right shape with the ribbing at the front , actually look plastic now to me . I suspect it is a wrongun now . Would like spud to have a squint ??
  2. Stubby
    Ah . Well spotted . Perhaps on reflection it is a complete wrongun !

    The exhaust looks identical to my 372 as do the filler caps . Good job cop[ying the box and hand book . I still think its a genuine saw the non OEM plastics bar etc .

    Exactly . Some of the aftermarket plastics are not as well finished ( corner rads etc ) and have some distortion in them but they are supposed to be direct copies rather than sorta lookalikes if you see what I mean . I rthink its a proper Husky withe replacement non OEM parts .

    We have 3 200s and 1 201 We had to get the 201 as Spud had my 200 and the other 2 were down . The 201 is pants by comparison . it is however improving slightly as time goes on but it won;t get much use now all three 200s are up and running again .

    The bar writing and bar paint are the wrong shade . The av springs are shiney not blued . the plastics are direct copies but not OEM as is the fuel tank . The exhaust looks rite and the crank caases . Just my take on it .
  10. Stubby
    Mmmm I see what you mean . There is fading on the all;y parts and what looks like " After market " plastics and tank . Think it is a real one withe some fake bits on .

    What about a "Load Handler " I have one on my pickup and they can be adapted for tailors. You can move loos loads or bagged up loads . It works as a conveyer belt . Save you dragging them from the far end . You will get a discount for being an arbtalk member I think . I would not be without one . Check out the thread on it .

    I always understood it to be mid/late summer for walnut as the sap rises early in the year ??

    Don't think it is an actual legal requirement just a Stihl Thing , I could be wrong here though .

    Stubby replied to axman's topic in Chainsaws

    So I was not reading it wrong in the hand book about setting auto tune ? I still find hot start is better if you don't touch the red lever ( don;t put it on half throttle ) and only one pump of primer . All other saws used to hot start from tickover and this one does too .
  20. Stubby
    Yep as I posted earlier it is / was a different carb also I think the porting was not so radical hence the slower revving . This may have all changed on thenew "Xtorque" model .
  21. Stubby
    Phew ! thought I was in for a rogering for being honest . Thanks you guys .

    Top banana in every respect .

    I don't know if its cos I am a sad old git .. but I very rarely use the chain brake . In fact the only time I use one is if I am sending a running saw up the tree and the climber has to pull it up and grab it . I am 60 this birthday and never used a brake before I got my tickets , used one as I remember to pass said tickets and then never since . I know people will go into one about HSE but I have never felt the need . I can't understand how people can rev a saw flat out and snap the brake several times first thing in the morning ! just to see if it works . Drives me nuts . Mechanical sympathy you see . Any way as a result I think I have only changed a brake band about 3 times in my life ! . If the saw is idling properly that does me . Putting my tin hat on now !

    Ah . now wasn't the old (discontinued ) 362 a smaller bar mount ? and .325 rim as standard ? Oh sorry off on one again !!:
  25. Stubby
    Mmmm . Its the age old question and the timeless answer (from me anyway ) would be to buy the best you can afford for the job in hand .
