It's getting cold out there....
Zenoah engines are VERY nice, and possibly strongest in class. However, the saw chassis they put them in are much more "plasticky" than a Husky XP or Stihl.
In fact, the chassis is excellent. The top cover, choke lever and tiny kill switch are the things that betray its origins. Even the clutch cover is of at least the same standard used on some earlier XP saws. I see no colour mismatching. I'd dare say that if the top cover and switchgear were more familiar, fewer would have the criticisms they have of the 543. That's the only real issue I'd have with the saw if pushed on it. Price IS ridiculous really, but then again, my 576XPG runs around the $1450-1500 price point here for another comparison!
