What are the pros and cons of inboard, outboard?
I don't know where to find that information but as a 2100 user I can tell you that it does not lack for power. Its a great powerful saw. A bit heavy but a great powerful saw with a big and well deserved reputation.
You better watch out ,once you go orange you never go back<a href="http://www.sweetim.com/s.asp?im=gen&lpver=3&ref=11" target="_blank"><img src="http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/00020241.gif" border="0" title="Click to get more." ></a>
I still can't find anything that indicates the horsepower and max no-load rpm on a 2100XP.
Oh well, I'd still like to know although the 2100XP I was trying to obtain went to someone else who was more eager to spend the money.
I have a 394XP and have the 288 deflector/screen to do a muffler mod (but haven't yet). I was curious how the 2100XP compares to the 394XP. The 394 is truly all I'll ever need in power (7.1 hp stock), but a 2100/2101 has always been a saw I wanted to have.
Garland county sends you this little jingle lol

Well I have the 2101 and a 395 both have good power but the edge goes to the 395. Mainly for ergonomics weight and it is near new lol. The 2101 is a torque monster though it is very hard to stop the chain on it you can really stand on it. It also seems to have a bigger fuel tank and will cut longer between tanks. The main drawback to mine is not chain brake and the recoil dawgs are screwy.
Here is a link to the 2101 XP Owners Manual
http://weborder.husqvarna.com/order_static/doc/HO/HO1997/HO1997_1018559-97.pdf
Max RPM is 10,500 for setting the H-needle
This was a bygone era where the quality of 2-stroke oil was such that the above OM specifies 25:1 mix or 30W motor oil also 25:1 mix
No HP data, it would be just a little more than the 395XP say 7.3 to 7.6 HP
At over 23-lbs it is close to the 3120 in weight
Yep, a 2100 is almost as heavy as a 3120 but a good bit smaller so it handles better.
Husqvarna offered 50:1 oil when those saws were new. There were plenty of good 2-stroke oils then, the reference to mixing 25:1 you refer to is for "other" oils if you couldn't get the proper stuff. If you're running a 2100 it'll use 50:1 premix just like any new saw. I do run mine at 40:1 just like I do with a new saw.

The warranty on my 12 month old 3120 is void if I use anything other than 25:1 and have a failure. I'm sure it'll run 50:1 but I won't take any chances and have been running 30:1 and will continue to do so. Mineral 2 stroke tends to foul the plug at 30:1 so as in everything I now run full synthetic.
Are you serious? I just broke mine in at 32:1 and now I'm back to 40:1. It was a bit nasty at 32:1 but 3 gallons later its running strong.
I'm afraid so. Owner's manual say's 25:1 for any Husky over 80cc. Many people take this as a guide but in reality if your new >80cc Husky siezes up or something like that they more than likely will test the fuel and your warranty will be void if the oil ratio isn't as recommended. I'm certain 40:1 or 50:1 won't cause many problems, a lot of people here run that with no trouble, but Husky has to have a reason why larger saws should run a richer oil ratio. This has nothing to do with older oils as it is still outlined in their newest manuals. I'd love to know that reason
