If they did, why have high-tops?

Not quite finished yet, got the muffler to do!

Yes it does niko, as the opening of the port and vacuum draws the air in, more air availability increases flow speed through the carburettor. The higher velocity will force more mix into the cylinder, thus more power. This may be marginal to most, but it's still a higher charge. The cylinder never gets fully charged, otherwise the port closure would cause back feed, soaking the air filter in fuel. On normal carb saws this would cause a progressive engine flood as the mixture gets ever richer.

Peak torque and max power are usually at opposite ends of the scale, max torque is usually around 5-7k rpm, whereas max power is usually 8-12k rpm. A longer stroke and lower exhaust (longer blow-down) usually produces higher torque, at the expense of rpm. This is why the old behemoth saws would have much lower depth gauges (0.35 and lower, instead of 0.2-0.25 of modern equivalent). They relied on brute force to rip the tree down rather than the speed to chase it down. The 070 (106cc) has marginally less (0.1lbf) torque than an Ms880 (121cc), but the 880 has marginally more power (0.1kW) than an 090 (137cc). So that shows nothing, as the 090 is faster through the largest timber, despite running much slower (4k rpm less). The op needs to try out saws to find out the saw best suited to his technique. The correct saw in the right hands will beat a larger, faster saw in the wrong hands.

Torque pulls the longer bar, at the expense of rpm Power is how strong the saw is, but without seeing a power-curve, this is useless if the peak is at a point where it's unattainable. Displacement (cc) is the engine size, the larger the saw, generally the higher the torque. Most never cut on a torque band, most never cut at peak power. Porting shifts the power and torque bands.

Yes, there are XPG versions of the Huskies, just not sold here, unfortunately the cost of conversion is extortionate!
-
How about the heated big saws, such as the 390 and 395? Stihl has you on that one, the 660/661 has heaters!

Defra used to pay £1 per tail, until 2012, when the payment system was obsoleted. There was also a minimum of about 10. In regards to biodiversity, greys have no natural predators, with only larger birds of prey and cats taking them, but they put up a fair fight, so the predators rarely bother. As greys are also omnivorous, they will eat birds, smaller mammals and strip trees of bark and fruit. They also take fruit before its ripe, so other animals don't get chance. As we have removed apex predators, and most country folk oppose reintroduction (for blatantly obvious reasons), the necessity to control population is high, but it must be a maintained effort, and not a mass reduction, stop, and allow the populations to recover to critical numbers. We have proven many times that nature won't correct our mistakes!

Yes but an ally block can be bolted to the front to form a bracket and retro-fit a chainbrake to the saw. The 075/076 has m6 bolts, so to mount those, you need to re-tap the mounts. I've done the above on mine.

Email sent, let me know if you need any other literature!

Cages, bait with hazel nuts, chestnuts or acorns. A tunnel-like object lent against a tree with a fenn trap usually catches! Then the good old method of baiting and shooting!
-
Oh I dunno, I managed to pick up mine for £200. The one at £50 may sell for less than £400, that'll be worth it with repair costs. Winter tends to push the price up.
-
Black is more aggressive, look at the j'red saws, they look much more aggressive!
-
Yeah, it's an older av model, needs a bit of tlc to get it back in shape
-
You need a concentrated effort of eradication of the grey squirrel first, the grey squirrel carries a disease fatal to reds!
-
Why use the crap silver paint on pro model huskies then? I don't know anyone who prefers the flaky silver to the old orange stuff that lasts twice the time!
-
You can still buy OEM models in Peru, various jungle countries in Africa, and Indonesia. But whilst the Chinese copies are almost identical, there are a few subtle differences, OEM still uses points, the writing for the choke, and all bolts should be flat-heads. The one on eBay uses all hex-bolts, which Stihl doesn't use on a combi tool, so it couldn't be stripped down with one tool.
-
The repair job isn't too bad, if it goes for less than £200, it's definitely worth a punt. The one selling for £800 is a fake!
-
A large amount of pathogens produce the dark bleeding spots, such as honey fungus, p. Squamosa, and I've seen it on trees with oyster mushrooms and ganoderma.
-
Is that held in high regard on here or at husky? I believe the other doesn't post often, I was told the user names but, like most things, if it wasn't written down, I forget after a few minutes.
-
They all look on here, oddly the UK branches have no media presence (officially). If they did, Stihl might have known about the 201t-c before the APF Unofficially, there are actually 3 husky guys on here, but I can't remember the names, all I know is one gave me the smallest can of coke I've ever drank!
-
Cover has to come from America (although now I've bought one they'll probably make it available), whereas the air filter is available to order... Logical!
-
The symptoms are typical of a lean high jet. I would suggest doing as morten suggested, but it may be an incorrect carb adjustment, hence why I asked about plugging it in. I would assume you've set the carb as you're supposed to, since the fault emerged

Ah yes, brain fart
