Chainsaw Pics...

This may like an odd pic . But , the coil on one of those Homelites in the above pics is dead . I was looking for a possible replacement coil ( $$$$!!!!) ,when a ran across this idea . Homelite Wico/Prestolite Blue Ignition Coil
Hopefully it’ll work . I’ll post the results ,good ,or bad once I have the saw back together .
EDIT:
Believe it ,or not , the it worked ! Cooked the coil for about 20 hrs. At 180-200*.
When I first reinstalled it ,no spark !
Pro tip : Flip the kill switch to the run position when testing a coil after installation ...

 

Just picked this up this afternoon . Been looking forward to it showing up for a long time .

 

So they are finally available in the U.S.??? I would have bought one earlier this winter if they’d been available. Got a 562 instead. Now that I have CAD I think I wanna another bigger one. And that’s what I’m leaning toward. Let know your honest opinion of it

 

One passed through my house a week or two ago (572 XP) - I put a pic up a couple of pages back. I hefted it to test the weight, but no bar on it, and too much saw for my needs anyway. He paid $799 as part of some multi-saw purchase package.

Here’s an ad from the March Northern Logger, so I’d assume they are available.

 

About a week ago Husqvarna web site still had them listed “coming in March” instead of a MSRP. it’ll be a while before I can afford one anyway. But a man has to have a dream, right?

 

My dealer has had the Xp’s available for a few weeks . I had a standing order for an xpg . It took a couple of weeks extra to come in for some reason . So far , I only have about a tank and a half through it . It’s very smooth vibration wise . It wears a 28” bar ,running square ground chain . I have been breaking it in on some 36” white oak logs . You have to lean on it pretty hard to get it to drop out of it’s power range with the bar burried ,so the thing has good torque . I’m told it will get better yet as I get more tanks through it . This may be the saw that gets me to leave the Dolmar 7910 at home more , we’ll see .

 

Blasphemy....Lol. Glad you are enjoying the new saw. Looks great and they are smooth.

 

Yes , I realize that that would be a tall order . Mea Culpa ! It’s a shame that Makita hasn’t made much progress here as far as advertising and establishing dealers . They ( Dolmar / Makita ) are very underated and underappreiated saws .

 

I got my 288 powder coated, built, ported and now it's running.

New parts and decals are on order. In the end it will have a black top cover and v-stack with Uni filter.

 

I could do all I need to do with these two.

Yes, sir. A tall order indeed. I love my Dolmars most of all and was very sad when Makita decided to sort of kill off the brand.

 

041 out working this morning

 

Look how nice all the different saws play together!

 

The saws play well together. It's usually the owners that don't get along.

 

With all the bs bickering that's why I posted some of my saws together. I like them all...

 

In today’s episode of wth, I present to you’s.. a Husky my son (who works at the local TSC) brought home for $50. Customer brought it back stating it won’t stay running. Wonder if his had anything to do with it?


He ended up buying a bigger saw.

 

Are we allowed to give out “you suck”s on here??

 

I think so. Ain’t much of a saw though. My dad has had one for a while now and I’m not impressed at all. They are very lite, I will say that.

Weather is beautiful today so it’s time to work my log pile a little.

 

But the price was right. All I had until early February was a husky 345. I couldn’t ask for a more reliable saw. Looking back, I can’t believe how much firewood It’s generated. But now that I have CAD it’ll probably suffer from neglect,

 

My around the hose go to saw
