MS180 is a fun saw ...
Not true at all, you didn't do your homework.......
The core (engine and crank) of the 136 and 141 are Husky made (Sweden), with chromed cylinders, and nothing like the "real" Poulans with the zintered (or whatever) cylinders, but the rest is more or less Poulan, and they are put together by Poulan.
You're missing the point a bit: Stihl claims that they have the same quality in their Chinese factory as in their German, and they might or not, but if you buy a 170 it will be made in Germany with the traditional German Stihl quality.
So, you work in Shreveport now. LOL
LOL - no, but I collect info.......
Btw, I have learned that there is a lot of saw info thet is true up to 99% of the time or so, but very little that is true 100.0% of the time.....
Although I'm a tried and true Husqvarna fan, I wouldn't look at the 136, 141 or 142. They are nothing but orange Poulan's. I worked on a 142 today, almost new, from Lowes. The entire muffler assembly had fallen off. Replaced it, sharpened the chain, modified the L/H mixture screws for external adjustments, etc.
It was a TURD! One of the worst running Husqvarna's I've ever seen. It didn't have half the power of my Echo top handle CS-360T!
In addition to not having any power, the oiler only worked when it wanted to. One minute dumping tons of oil, the next minute the chain would be dry as a bone for 2-3 cuts, then the oil would come gushing out again. I cleaned the entire saw, bar, etc, so it was some sort of internal "issue".
Before I'd buy one of these smaller Husqvarna's, I'd get an Echo instead, CS-370 or CS-400, or even a CS-440 if the budget allowed for it?.....Cliff
That would be like going from one turd to another
That would be like going from one turd to another
You can't compare those orange Poulan's to an Ehco. They may not be for you but they are a MUCH better unit.
So you are saying that the orange poulans are better than the Echo,,,,,,,,,,
I agree.
