Pipe thread tape fixes any loose air filter... think about it, it keeps water from leaking in pressurized pipes...

No birdcage in the muffler? Hard to tell on my broken phone screen.

Keep them coming Steph!

I know this is small news, but the firmware files for these new Mark II's downloaded from the mother ship yesterday when I was working on a couple saws. So things are happening here...………..slowly, but happening.

Perhaps this has been mentioned already, but it seems the mark II changes also removed the decompression valve. Not a bad move for durability, I end up plugging them on small saws sooner or later.


The still is from this video (in the beginning, which is the only part that's subtitled):

The decomp is removed, but they change the starter. You can easily pull the rope.

Watch at 4.25 min, the Rest ist b .. *s-word

He pulled the starter out and it dropped like a broken yoyo. I'm not sure what that shows, but traditionally that would indicate it fails a compression test.

....or maybe the new chainsaw just needs less cranking speed and therefore H increased starter pulley diameter to decrease starting efforts. This also permits getting rid of decompressor valve

Husky has a ton of pic in the image bank on these new saws. Going to share a few of them if this works. Lot of action shots, some tech stuff. Lot of chicks running the saws too.

New 62 cc model coming April 1st.

This new 5 really encapsulates the evolution of the modern gas chainsaw. So many details you can/can't see that make this saw what it is. Its such a shallow assessment to say its 'XXoz's' heavier than the previous model.

They should do some limited edition legends. Not sure how they would get round the epa regs. Damn
