Husky 240 SE in your opinion?

[Dan Forsh]

I'm in the midst of a possible impulse buy on the bay. Saw this old husky 240 SE and immediately bid on it. I haven't got a clue what kind of saw it really is. Anyone give me more info and your considered opinion?

I never seen one,but its probably the predecessor of 242 and 246 that were excellent saw for their size.I noticed its a points system instead of electronic system.

When these saws where used activly by the loggers, they had two starters with them everyday.
There is a piece of the ignition in the cover and it had a havit of cracking.
They got wet and the saw stoped. Four screws later the other, dry starter was in place and off they went.
Ignition and bearings is the weak points on these. I have a "S", "SG" and "SE".
It has a very simple oiler, but it is a nightmare to learn. In front there is two caps one in front on right side, one under this, these are important to keep really clean.
It has 3 different airfilters, and Heated handles.
I think i have a few new tanks here.

Hope it helps.

Looks like everyone else in the World knew this already! No one else seems to want to up the ante, even though I placed a conservative bid. Oh well, just like children, you'll love them all.

You want more?
It was introduced in Stockholm summer 1973. First available spring 1974.
The S has points and the SG, too but most was converted.
The SE is with out points.
