They can of course make quality stuff when motivated to do so - the problem is that they usually aren't....
-
You may need to change some other parts as well - consult the part lists (they are on some Husky web-sites, at least the US and the Swedish ones at the moment, likely on more of them).
-
K041 bars don't have seperate oil holes - they oil through the upper adjuster hole.
-
Officially it is up for a few hours a day now, but I haven't seen it yet, because of mountains.
-
Husky 390, not the horrible Stihl 390! Anyway, the Husky 390 is in much more need of porting than the 385 - that is excellently ported, but "just" needs a larger carb and a more open muffler....
-
If I wanted anything larger that a 372xpg, I'd take a 390xpg - nothing to worry about!
-
I use the same gas cans and pouring attachment - but that carrying attachment is just silly imo - bar oil is in a totally seperate can, both in a small back.pack with extra chain, gloves, tools etc...
-
Cannon dl counts often is different from "standard", some times very different - so much that I don't mention them except when they are part of the topic (now they are). Cannon Supermini with the S1 (3003) 16" say 64dl in the most recent list I can find (mid 2014) - and those are slim bars, likely with 9 teeth noses - so likely at least 17" in reality.
-
Those bars used to be sold with the 066 and 660 "Logosol" here, with 63PMX chain - not with any other saws! The chains sometimes snapped when they were used by log house builders, as opposed to milling......
-
I some times use the chain brake, when starting a saw with a long bar, or drop starting in thick brush - but hit the "trigger" and release it fast after starting the saw.
-
As far as I know, a 3003 mount picco bar has to be a "Logosol" bar - and if so it should take the same number of dl as a standard 3/8" bar = 60 for a 16". You should not use the standard 3/8" drive sprocket (rim) though, but Stihl sell both 7 and 8-pin picco rims that will fit your saw (mini 7-spline). Oregon does not sell those rims, even though they make them for Stihl. Welcome here, ol' friend!
-
Likely some truth in that - but it likely saves a lot more saw engines with minor air leaks, than it kills by "masking" them. It is about how observant the operator is....
-
Of course not!
-
Read the attachment I posted a couple of hours ago (post #41).....
-
Reminds me of this service bulletin:
-
What parts does that "shortblock" consist of?
-
I don't, but more gullible people with no real knowledge may.
-
Well, I am not - but their marketing often "stinks".
-
It likely would have been OK if you stated where the text originated from - but as you presented it, it could be mistaken asr factual information by some.
-
I would - if it was done the same way! Looks like an advertisement to me....
-
I didn't know this was a forum for advertisements and brand propaganda?
-
Sort of - but alledgedly with the dang inboard clutch, that necessarily will mess up the nice handling some. Also, there may be more than one size out for user trials at this point....
-
That is only because of diffent preferenses in the US (and OZ) vs. Europe - and it is the Americans that are right this time (about the cutting attachments/rims). The setup the 560 comes with in Europe is borderline to silly, and I will never use it on that saw.... How do you know the high top gives you .1 kW more? It surely isn't so in the specs! Max power output is rated at 3.5 kW = 4.8 hp(m)/4.7 hp(i) on both models (560 and 562).
-
Power (hp) is a product of torque and rpm, so torque isn't a seperate factor. Low end (max) torque is usually not interesting, as the cutting will be slow anyway at that point. It matters only if your saw is way too small/weak for the task at hand.
-
It may well do that, if the saw is ported and needs more air, or with flocked filters are involved (they restict the air, compared to the mesh ones). I just doubt it makes much (if any) differense on a stock saw and "normal" mesh filters. And there are of course some slight disadvantages with the high top covers....
