The Husqvarna thread

I haven't used one but one of the porter's had several that failed.
I do have 7 372s and a 268 with china coils
Only one went bad in 4 years
Well worth 10-15.00 for another one.
I've heard so much bad about Chinese parts and I'll agree that some are junk but a lot of guys that preach about how bad they are , are just hating and have never even used any.aftermarket parts have saved a lot of saws that would have gone in the trash. I have a very beat up 272 that I put a like 3 dollar Chinese piston in complete with the piston ring and clips, just to see how long before it exploded, and it still runs. I wouldn't sell it to anybody and I wouldn't have done it if I was depending on the saw but I don't think any of the parts are nearly as bad as people think. I've had tremendous luck with Chinese carbs, sometimes they are cheaper than a kit for the original carb

I built 5 of these 4 years ago

They are all still together
Just some chain brakes sucked and lost one coil that's it.
This one has a bb hyway popup cylinder kit and is still at 180# comp
I've had this one loaned out to my nephew for 2 years.
I just prefer the 2 series or I'd run these more.
 
Neighbor has Husqvarna 51 that he wants to sell along with a 272 . I maintain the both for him .
If you knew nothing about thesaw ,you could mistake it for NOS . It is really nice .
What’s a fair price for it that won’t mess over me ,or him ? ?

500.00 for both would be a fair price I'd think for couple decade old saws.
 
51 is not a high dollar saw, nor is a 55, I've seen them for as little as 50 bucks but not as nice as you're describing. A 272 has never impressed me either. They always seem to not be much greater than a 268 or a 266 when they should be. Great saws just not very exciting
The 272s benefit the most from porting imho
I actually put ported 268 closed ports on most of my 272s
I prefer how they run
266 is still my favorite though.

Spike hasa 372 xp that landrum carved on that would spank most 88n 94 cc sawrs ,,prolly the most impressive thing I’ve run !🤗👍
 
Firewood season is approaching it always amuses me every year when I cut with different people family and friends
They always want to run the 2 series
I've got strong 2171/2172/371/372s but they like the old stuff
They run mostly newer stihls
I even let them run thier ultra in my stock saws.
