Husqvarna discontinuing some cylinders?

[JohnnyBlade]

What did we do to deserve this? No warning? No huge run of production before they pull the plug? Its just over like that? 372xp? Really? If u guy dont hear from me for a while its cuz after i get done cryin i spiked my phone

The 50mm isn't going anywhere anytime soon and is going to have to satisfy the 372's needs in the future, that 1.4mm won't really be missed by many users in the big scheme of things kind of way.

Long as the 50mm stays I will be happy

Not a bomb.

After a chainsaw model go out of production Husqvarna reorder necesarly parts inside the first 7 years, after those 7 years they dont guarantie they'll reorder another batch.

It used to be 10 years before but Husqvarna has changed their policy. Two norwegians dealers told me this for 1-2 year ago.

The only thing a 372 fan can do is to write to Husky and raise your issue about it, but most of the times they don't lissen on their customers who run old saws. I've never heard Husqvarna has changed their decission before.

How much did they get you for at customs?

361 sek, tax + customs. And I payed 1387 sek for the cylinder assembly + shipping.

This one is not a bad price and I think bailey has them for about the same price,

it still way cheaper compared how much a Sweedish dealer wanted for the kit.

Its the same in Norway, same high prices as Sweeden, seems Husqvarna loves to rip us Scandinavians!!

I'm not taking any chances and will be stocking up on cylinder kits as the bank account allows. I already have a handful stashed in the cupboard.

Kitchen? If so you get a bonus stamp on your man card.

Yikes. That’s no good

Not all that big a deal. I really don't think there's a significant difference between the 51.4 and the 50mm. And the 50mm will be around for a long time yet.

 

[huskyboy]

The 50mm is stronger stock anyway.

 

[Derf]

So if the 51.4mm jug is going away, what’s the story with the piston for it?

 

[dustinwilt68]

OEM or Wiseco is the only options, the OEM piston was almost as much as a kit, the Wiseco is more then a kit.

They DO NOT want to sell parts. They want to sell new saws. The solution is to overprice parts.

I often think about that, reading threads posted by guys who spend a large part of their lives getting a 1980's Stihl they found in a dumpster to run. Or rebuilding one for the 40th time. Stihl be like "Ok, you refuse to buy a new saw from us? Hope you enjoy tracking down top secret-eyes only IPL's and paying sky high parts prices once you do!"

Dealers make more on selling parts then saws, most dealers make very little on a new saw when they sell it
