why would husky/jonsered market a saw that runs this poorly???

[STIHLTHEDEERE]

i finally had a chance to put some time on my new 2253 today, it runs like crap. i ran almost 6 full tanks through it, and has a serious bog/hesitation just off idle. i can't believe that anyone would market a product, continually, with this issue. i.e. 562/2260 and the 550/2253. why havent they fixed this well known issue. my 2260 has about 10-12 tanks through it, and runs perfectly. i thought IT would be the saw i had to worry about, and the 2253 would be fine. no such luck, anyone want a 2253 cheap, it just might be for sale soon.

I've never really heard of problems with the 550/2253, my 550 has been perfect (562's too) i know Brad had a bad carb on his 550 and got a new carb and its been fine but other than that have not heard of any issues with the 550/2253.

Warranty?

 

[Eagleknight]

What about the carb? Has it been adjusted?

 

[STIHLTHEDEERE]

yeh 2 year warranty. i will most likely be sold if it cant be fixed. i am glad i did not sell my 2153 after all. i was leary about this new platform, as the issues seem hit and miss at best. just cant believe they would not be doing everything possible to make sure there is no issues. i have not heard much in the way issue with the 2253 either, but this is just my luck. i guess i will be owning a 241c after all.

no idea on the carb, just one that obviously does not work. i like trouble free technolgy, i hate when things dont work properly.

Three 550's no bogging? Hope the warranty fixes your issues.

Many have had to fit multiple carbs to get a good one, many just run them not knowing how they should run. They are not all bad but you deserve better when buying a premium brand like Husky. My 550 and 555 are great, no hesitation/stumble and when working as they were intended they perform well. The ms241cm is the best 40cc saw on the market today, not many dispute that and l am yet to hear a single complaint about one. But they are 40cc opposed to 50cc. l am sure someone will help you but it sucks to have to fix a new off the shelf saw, you will now find out what a warranty is worth!! Some have looked at this issue in detail but l am yet to be convinced anyone has pinpointed the exact reason behind the issue and dealers like to swap carbs than diagnose/fix them due to labor costs ect. Good luck!!

right now i think 50 bucks would be about 25 bucks too much.

Because they knew that one of the saw builders here would smarten them up. lol

 

[STIHLTHEDEERE]

i own and run a few jonsered saws for entertainment value, and nothing else. right now i am anything but entertained. the 50 and 60cc saws just have zippiness/spool up about them that stihl does not. with that said, i would rather own a saw that i know will start, and run reliably for a lifetime, than the quickest hot rod on the block. i will give the dealer a chance to make it right, before i pass judgement here.

on a rather light hearted/funny sidenote, the dealer here in my neck of the woods is amish. get this, he has a laptop, and all the software to diagnose and service these saws.

haha, pretty common. A lot of amish folks around me have phones and stuff, but there are always funny rules about calling like "i can only answer the phone M-F from 8-9 am........But seriously, i have big huge boatloads of respect for amish communities, who can function in our throwaway, workaholic, tweeter obsessed society.

In defence of Jonsereds, I was impressed with a couple of 630's I pulled apart today. Thin ring piston like some 2100's and 181's.

I really have to ask why you have Stihl as your avatar and run all Jonsereds? Or at least complain about them?

Mine too!! You're not from rush or decatur county(Indiana), are you?
I've had 4 or 5 Jonsereds, all new and neary a problem,,Herr Schmidt fuels 'em, starts 'em, walks out back to a sawbuck and runs/tunes them and hands them off to me. After I've made a couple cuts he ask if it's okay, I've always said, "Yep" and down the road I go,,
Don't give up on that saw, it may just need a little tuning,,,

ahh, because i am a stihl/deere dealer, and have/run many stihl saws in my personal collection. i own only three jonsered saws, as stated in the previous post. i am neighbors/friends with the jonsered dealer. not sure where you got that i run all jonsereds???
