Man , if we could buy no ethanol fuel in RI , Thast why I run aviation fuel in all my saws . It's a hundred octane and remains so at 12,000 ft . ! Yes I have paid as much as 5.50 a gallon , but what is your saw worth to make money . You can leave one set for over a year and it will Start as good as the day you stopped using it , I know , I had back surgury just over a year ago and did'nt get the go ahead from the Dr for 15 monthes . Now they are talking 15% ethanol in the US . No saw will run for long on that . I know there are states that have no ethanol fuel , but not RI .
I actually think this is a good thread. I'm not 100% sure how liking something can be subjective- you either like it or you don't....
I actually think this is a good thread. I'm not 100% sure how liking something can be subjective- you either like it or you don't....I have a non-CM 362 that is my favorite. It has the best power/weight feel of anything I've run, but in fairness to the Husky brand, I've really only run Stihl. I would like to try a couple the Husky or even Jonsered models.Now, I will also add that my favorite saw to hate was also a Stihl. I was an 18 year old greenhorn working in the early 80's, and my boss had an old Stihl 051. I've driven Buicks that were lighter. Took about a 1/2 hour to start. It was an absolute horse. I was using it for bucking and limbing, and it was our backup falling saw. Our main faller guy got a brand new 056 Super, and I remember thinking that saw was the bomb. It only weighed as much as a Ford Pinto.

You are right, they weighed almost as much as a small car and like the last girlfriend were high maintenance. The 075 was worse, I hated them.

Then an old faller who was teaching me, put an early production Husky 2100 in my hands. I wanted to throw the 075 in a deep lake.Kevin
