Stihl vs Husqvarna...

CAD is for real....

 

You fellers sure make it hard on someone trying to refrain from buying anymore saws. Those are both Purdy saws.

 

Probably you should buy one......

 

Both rocker switches. Different color. I'll buy the XP switch if It irritates me to much. Both have the through the crankshaft grease port for the clutch bearing . That's a nice feature that I think all pro saws should have. I used a rubber tipped attachment for my grease gun and deid both. You could immediately feel drag in the bells when spinning by hand.

 

Yay! Get yourself a splined carb tool if you are in the know on adjusting carburators on saws. Expect it to be low on power for a good many tanks.

 

I had an Echo cs-310 for many years. I did the muffler and carb limiters. I thought it was an animal. I'm not joking. I joined a saw forum and I've had over a 100 since 2019. Not all at once. Mostly old vintage stuff but still. I'm creeping back up towards 20bon hand again.

 

They both are nice looking. I just prefer the orange which isn't my normal. In general.

 

There is a link somewhere here. I can hunt it down...

 

Yor turn Mrxlh

I know you got one too.

 

Got a full set of carb tools. Been tuning 2 cycle for years. Not chainsaws though. I’ll probably be asking for tips.

 

Good deal.

 

Lighter than the 346, but the pound difference in weight isn’t equal of the 346 power ported. I’m new to the ported saw game, but running a 395XP bucking really doesn’t affect me. I think this gives me a different perspective on the smaller ported saws.. .

 

Picture....

 

Kevin's 346 builds are pretty insane.

 

New, not started , not fueled, not broken 543XP…

 

The XS’d 353/346…

 

I’m not, a “not Stihl Guy” but this class kinda loses me. 200T yep, 500i yep, 400 yep, 241 meh… Every good Stihl saw was replaced save the 241…

 

We all could start a club. Lol

 

I think this size saw is to close to either a 50cc or a 35cc for most people but after getting one, the 241 especially, I definitely see the advantages. For my needs anyway. Being 2.5 pounds lighter than the ms261 is significant. I believe Redneck pretty much exclusively uses his 241 for firewooding because it's a saw he can run without killing his back.

 

If I had extra fun money, I definitely would. There's also the echo 4910 on sale for 279 plus tax that I would like to have. 50cc and only 8oz heavier than the 543/ 4350.
