Inside the Husqvarna T540

[Ozhoo]

I'm surprised to see a Walbro vice Zama serving up the juice.

Lets just hope Husqvarna did some good longevity testing on it. I just hope it lasts and doesn't need too many visits to the dealer. If it drops it's going to break somewhere. I've seen a 201t fall and it definitely needed some work after lol.

I have a friend that is a pro climber. He used to run the 020 and the 200t but dropped one. He had the dealer price the parts out and it was over half way to a new saw so he sidelined it. Picked up a 338 and ran the snot out of it for years. He's dropped it several times, had it tied back to the rope by a groundie and sent back up. For all I know the 200 hit concrete and the 338 fell in the brush..... I dont know the particulars- just the reason he switched to the 338 being the excessive cost on parts replacement for the 200t. He is running the 355 now and pretty happy with it too.

Exactly! I'm wondering if we can read anything into that?

Can you plug this saw into the Husky software?

Yes. It has the new access port even.

 

[hamish]

Yes. It has the new access port even.

Was so nice to see that!

It took along time to get across the water in its current form, and it will have a hard time getting back in the top handle market.

Hopefully it does better, than the 335,336,338,339Xp variants and 435T.

Sell the 435T with ease here. No Echo dealers around though.....

At least they put the air filter in the back instead of in the front

Want some Canadian 435T's? In the summer time I actually use one as a door stop at the shop. People wont even steal it, and its a nice little saw just no market in this area for it. Only people that look at it are those looking for an eventual replacement of there old Homie XL's.

Local Echo and Stihl dealers less than a mile from me don't even stock top handles. Figured I could fill a void in the local market place, was a big oops on my part.

The 339 was a good run for me, Husqvarna's attempt at the MS200 and MS200T and similar line of saws (both a rear and a top handle model).

Gimme a 540XP, rear handle please.

Thanks for the pictures. They did a really nice job with the packaging and the design. That is now the second top handle saw I really like and would love to have - too bad I have no use for a top handle saw.

Would you save the plastic parts with metal inserts are there to save weight?

The flash is giving some glare on the one label - is that the strato air port timing at 69?

Yes. Opening

 

[blsnelling]

Looks great Mitch. It significantly resembles a 550, even down to the port timing. Should run quite well once you're done with it. I have one here as well. It's next on the bench.

 

[Mastermind]

Nice pics and stuff Mitch.

Who let Brad back in?????

 

[Philbert]

Nice photos. Thanks!

(I only tear a saw down when it's old and broken and I don't really have any other choice!)

Thanks! One more question - how big is the venturi in the carb?

Tinny haha. Sorry, I didn't measure it. After the first round of testing, I'll get a chance.
