Husqvarna Chainsaws

[stihlaficionado]

The 357xp is a great saw. Right up there w/ the 361 in performance IMO.
My 385xp...Another story.

I bought it new, but the dealer set the carb way too rich. I took it back & the dealer again set it too rich(11,000rpm. no load). I'm about done with the dealer I bought it at. I've tinkered with the carb myself & have got it close
to where it should be(don't have tach) I think. Plug looks good, clean throttle response, won't die in cut.

With the dealer's first setting of the carb my 357 outcut the 385!

Here's a few nice huskies in my shed..

1100 CD

266SE

2101 xp

268xp

444SE

380 CD

Some of you might recall I had a like new 242xp, kinda like the pride of my husky collection. A few weeks ago, somebody made me an offer for it I couldn't refuse , so I decided to sell it... I miss it already...great little saw...

Now that's a nice pile of saws nothing like those around here that I know of.

dealers suck around here at setting carbs.

i'll never let them touch my saws again.i even tell them not to prep them new.

I rebuilt the carb on my dad's 357xp. How dangerous is getting the high speed needle wrong?

Yeah, they wind up pretty high.

If you set it too lean (scew too far in).....:jawdrop::jawdrop:

Maybe I better recall it and seek more advice from you guys...what are the tell tale signs of "too lean" ?

at myself, I don't want to wreck it.

Got a few orange saws here, listed in the signature. I like all of them, but the 55 gets the most use these days. I still don't hesitate to get the 262XP and 268XP out when we get into larger material. The 480CD doesn't see much use these days, as they continue to log out this part of the country, the opportunities to cut larger trees are few and far between....Cliff

Here is our line-up..........

you'll have to ignore that little one on top.

what is the little top one, is it a 190t?

 

[valekbrothers]

It is an 019t.

But I have since sent it play with another family. It was a nice little saw. Lots of rip for 35cc. But it just didn't quite fir the color scheme.
