I've always wondered why, at least here in the States, the 2159 is rated at 4.1 hp with a max RPM of 13,800, and the 359 is rated at 3.9 hp with a max of 13,500. I've always assumed it had something to do with ignition modules, but I'm not basing that assumption on an IPL, either. I know there has been some talk about that 0.2 difference in hp here on AS, but I'm not sure I ever heard anything definitive on why it is.

Definitely let us know what you hear from Jonsered, though!

Yes Jonsered did come back to me whit some good answers :blob2:

And here they are:


CS 2141: 2 700 3 800 12 500 NGK BPMR 7A,Champion RCJ 7Y

CS 2145: 2 700 3 800 12 500 NGK BPMR 7A,Champion RCJ 7Y

CS 2150: 2 700 3 800 13 000 NGK BPMR 7A,Champion RCJ 7Y

The 2059 and 359 both performed 2.9 kW/3.9 hp when tested by DLG/KWF, but the 2059 is rated at 3.0 kW/4.1 hp by Jonsered in Europe also.

Just for the heck of it, how much have been dynoed from 353g?
 
And here is some more :greenchainsaw:
This is for the Homeowner saws, 2141, 2145, 2150, and for the Professional saws, 2147, 2152, 2156, 2159.
The factory carb settings are counter clockwise out from light clockwise stop; H = 1, L = 1, then the carb is tuned and set to 600 – 700 RPM lower then Max RPM (this is from the factory).
After at least 3 – 4 hour brake in period, the carb should then be re-tuned.

I think I will say a BIG thank you to Jonsered Norway, that send me more answer than I asked for :bowdown:

Yep, but all the info, and lots more, is availiable on-line from Husky - no need to ask.....
 
The big question I would love to have Jonsered answer is why their marketing department is advertising one set of specs and their technical support is advertising another!! (The .2 hp and 300 difference in max RPM for the 2159.)

I don't know, but the specs I have given here is from the technical workshop manual :taped:

The .2 hp is a result of just a .1 kW difference, and the 3.9 hp for the 359 is a rounded down number.

Remember that E-lux owned both brands when these saws were introdused, and all the saws are made by Husky.
My guess is that the difference is just marketing, to compensate for the fact that the more powerful 357xp design wasn't availiable as a Jonsered before several years after it was introduced by Husky.......:bang: :bang: :jester:
