Nice thats a good way to keep your Husky from losing all it bolts.

Guy local to me has a 2005 Husqvarna 395xp 20" just serviced at dealer, does everything it should, dealer said piston looked good and blew 154psi 450 bucks. If anybody is interested I can get you his number, catch is he doesn't have PayPal

Does husky do the xtorq thing on their 390xpg? It's a 2010 model, what are some things I should look out for when buying one?

I was just being proactive, and heading off any comments from the Creamsicle Anchor Club.

How problematic are the heated handles. Do they usually work pretty well?

in general they work great.
My experience with them is that 5xx produce most heat with 3xx in second spot, 2xx produce less heat and has more wire issues.

No xtorq on the 390xp (yet!). It's a solid design. Look for little stuff like a stretched throttle cable, maybe cracks in the muffler, and the front-left top cover screw can be missing or stripped out. All cheap and easy stuff unless the saw has really been thrashed or run at 14,000 + rpm all day.

Good to know, I know it needs a couple things, fuel tank assembly, Its busted off at the rear handle but its still usable, muffler got bashed in and is missing one of the support screws, according to the ipl I found its NLA? also needs a brake flag.
But it started right up on the 3rd pull, it's an estate saw

 

[Stackowood]

There shouldn't be any muffler parts that are NLA. Lots of aftermarket mufflers and brackets as well.

 

[astnmacgto]

I didn't check the dealer, I just saw on ipl there were two types of mufflers, but on parts list it listed only one muffler and it was discontinued

 

[Stackowood]

It's the "DF" muffler (USA, spark screen) and looks like the number changed to 585448301. You can also use the aftermarket 372xp muffler.
