Stihl vs Husqvarna...

If I had $1k and nothing else to do with it, I'd bite.

 

They ship to the US. I emailed them to check. If the site lets you put it in your cart, they will ship it, so I put a 241 in my cart and sure enough, checkout option popped up. I took it back out because there's another saw they sell I want.

 

You remember what I paid for it? It will be more than that or it's staying here.

 

with all due respect id think you'd bite at any saw with an extra $1000 laying around!

 

I just looked at it on ebay.... you got a good deal.

 

Actually i dont. Is this your ported one?

 

It's tough not putting a nib 241 on a shelf in the hobby room for future use. But, I want that Echo 4310sx. Out of stock currently though. I'm on an email notification list for it.

 

Not that one in your avatar......or brads 4 stroke disgrace.

 

I just checked and agree.

 

I did but it needs work. Mtronic Solenoid is bad so I gotta get a kit for that. Ran about a 1/2 tank and now it won't Rev. Fat and blubbery like one of Brads past girlfriends. I converted it back to 3005 mount and 3/8 lp with OEM stihl parts. The air filter is a sloppy fit on the twist lock. And it's nasty filthy. It has 180 psi compression and no scoring so there's that. It will be a nice specimen when I'm finished. I've considered dying it black because of the tan looking plastic but that might retract from a Stihl buyers interest.

 

So you can search closed sales in ebay? Or you went back in this thread?

 

You can look at sold items.

 

Dude, $2000 wouldn't by my ported one. I got it new from Jim bear. Its mint and has, maybe, 20 tanks through it. Is it worth $2000? Not to the rest of the world but to me, yes, because I'd have close to that much $$ getting a new one here from the UK, plus porting and the other things I've put on it. So I'm serious when I say $2000 wouldn't touch the ported XS241. Its a nasty saw.



This is its compression reading.

 

You don't want a limited edition predator? Lol

 

I'd like to murder some cedars with that baby!

 

Not any perceptible amount, no....

 

Im not kidding when I say it was almost scary till I got used to it. Its possessed.

 

HOLY CHIT!

Sorry forgot how nice yours is. Long day, tired, old, and wasnt thinking straight.

 

I don't blame ya. I like it but I got to flip.
