IPLs for the Husky 141, you'll need to figure out which one is for your saw.

It's pretty easy and cheap to put a 141 muffler and shield on a 142, and it makes good power then. Mine only cost $150 new.
Cliff - don't know why you had such a different experience, perhaps they had some trouble with some of the 141s. Mine's a pleasure to run, partly because it always works.

A thread ran on them a few years ago, and there were a few posts about carburetor issues.
I can tell you this for certain........the one I bought new was a POS, it had multiple issues as mentioned above. My neighbor absolutely HATED the one he bought at Lowe's. It shared similiar symptoms as the one I owned, very difficult to start was one of them. I have a nearly new one in the shop, sent here for free. It's owner got sick and tired of pissing around with it. It was unreliable and hard to start, well, got to a point where it wouldn't start at all. I checked it our briefly when it first arrived, everything is fine except it has a very weak spark. I'm not putting any time or funds in it.....does anyone out there need a free 141 parts saw?...Cliff
Oh, you dog - beat me to it! See what happens when I sleep in?:msp_biggrin: It's OK, I won that Craftsman saw so I'm going to have a project combining the pieces with my old saw.Yes, I sure could, private message sent.
Cliff, I find it quite funny that brag about your lack of mechanic skills when it comes to simple 2-strokes of poulan lineage. Maybe you walked under a ladder or a black cat crossed your path before you tried to work on them. Wait, I know, you broke a mirror off your truck that had 330 somewhere in the part number. Never any kind of a specific part failure either, unless I'm mistaken. Weird....:msp_unsure:
I'm not new to saws, but I am a little new to working on them. Every time a 141 come in for work, I hate them.
The ones that come in are beat to crap with simple problems, but need lots of attention.
My lack of experience shows very well with these saws.
"Seems even newer members catch on to Cliff and his weakness's pretty quick.
That saw would have been a perfect and a good runner forever if he wouldn't have ever found out it was made by Poulan."
Wow Mark.....still following me all over AS even after all these years just waiting for me to say something negative about a Poulan product. You don't hold a grudge very long, do you? I didn't think I was still on your radar these days.
Keep it up and I'll start bad mouthing those POS 330's again.
Can't wait for you next response....you'll be trying to convince the readers that those re-badged Poulan 141's with a couple of slits in the muffler will stomp the guts out of a Snellerized 346XP!
.....I can feel the love already.......Cliff
No surprise, they are built by Poulan, and not like Swedish Huskys.
Don't try to avoid the obvious here Mark. Your opened your BIG mouth first Dude. Pretty damned obvious you are following me around like a scorned little child just waiting for the slightest flaw in my armor to start some miss-guided personal attack. Do you think anybody reading this really gives a sh%?
Those re-badged Poulan's are EXACTLY as I described them, nothing more, nothing less. The 136's and 141's never enjoyed any sort of following like the 55's, and show up ALL over the place really cheap, usually not working well, if at all. We HATE to see them coming here.
A very good friend of mine recently added one to his line-up, got it really cheap, and thought he was buying a "real" Husqvarna. He shows up at his property to help me limb some trees we were taking down. After 20-30 pulls and a few puffs of smoke from the 141, it's tossed aside and replaced with his Echo CS-400, which after sitting for nearly a year, starts on the 3rd pull and runs flawlessly.
BTW, not one word you posted toward me has ANYTHING to add to what's going on with this thread. If you can't say anything nice, best not to say anything at all bro.
Hey, does this mean I'm not going to be on your Christmas list again this year?.....LOL....Cliff
A Husky rep once stated that these saws "are designed by Husky, but adapted to Poulans way of making saws". My statement was based on that statement + what I have observed. :msp_smile:
That's pretty silly. Reminds me of something I read on an automotive forum once where people agreed that putting Japanese spark plugs in German cars (and visa versa) was bad, you could only run spark plugs of the appropriate nationality. As if little pieces of bent metal and ceramic of exactly the same size had any idea where they were from.A Husky rep once stated that these saws "are designed by Husky, but adapted to Poulans way of making saws".

The engine in my 142 is clearly very similar to that in my Poulan 2775, only smaller displacement. And that in turn appears to be a Jonsered design. The carb and air filter are also similar. The saddle A/V construction is similar to other saws I've seen. All of it is pretty much like the Stihl MS250 I worked on, same materials and basic layout. These are commodity items and there ain't no magic to where they're made or designed. Husqvarna and Poulan are part of the same company and clearly are sharing designs and parts. Metal and plastic don't know anything about the silly superstitions of men.
