    How many of those carbs do you have sitting around? My buddy wants his saw a little better than stock.

    You should have been here to here the "crack" of every screw I took out. They stay in if ya tighten 'em.

    For me Husqvarna is still the easiest and cheaper to repair then a stihl of the same size, for comparison an 066 kit is well over 200.00, I can get a 395 cylinder kit for less then half that.

    Saw was already "built", crankshaft decided it was time to retire. So really just replacing the crank and bearings. They are just as easy as it's smaller and larger siblings. May post something on it, but hard to piece all the info on a saw that's been tinkered on for years now.

    Thanks Steve, appreciate the info, I figured they were similar, I dnt think they make an easier saw series to work on then the 2 series huskies.
