Well, the 560 coil is backordered at Husqvarna, coming in mid-July, Husqvarna is no longer what they used to be.
I'll take a drive to Evje tomorrow and pick up the beginnings of my 357 project, and maybe see if I can find 44/444 small parts there too.
Going to pressure test a 135 tonight, see what it is before I dump the body on someone else, may even clean it a tad while it’s closed.

Hello, CAD-enablers!

So, last month, I explained to the missus that I needed the 372 to fill the gap between the 290 and the 660. With the 359, I just straight up admitted that I just plain wanted it because it was cool. I might not even tell her about the 346.

Thing is, she never complains about me spending money, but she does have this one cruel, heartbreaking, inescapable thing she does when I talk about buying something. She just quietly asks

where are you gonna put it?

How long of a drive is Evje from you? An hour?

You can say that again. Husqvarna has really stepped in it with this new-fangled parts system of theirs. I tried to order 5 things direct from them this morning, went to check out and couldn't as they did not have even one of the 5 things they alluded to having by letting me put it in the cart. The hunt continues...

I haven't been messing with saws lately, so I don't have recent personal experience. My local Stihl dealer is also a husky dealer and he services both brands. Last week I stopped in to order a Stihl part, and his service shelves are full of husky saws waiting on parts. He is pretty frustrated as he makes most of his living on the service side.

Quite shameful how they have changed in the last 10 years, nowadays they can't even keep important parts for pro saws, before Christmas it was 560 boot, now coil.
It takes them a month to deliver parts for the 60cc class which they claim is the pride of the company.
I won't be surprised if mark I parts is NLA in 4-5 years!
