Been playing with a MS400C

Something is seriously wrong with your 400c.

Fuel Solenoid is ordered - next week some time.

Will give update once running and the 400c vs 620p showdown

Yes I'm looking forward to that keep the chain equal.

I would think that too the 400 has a 10 cc advantage. I couldn't find the HP rating for the 620 but the 400 is claimed to be 5.4 HP.

As you know - cc is important but there is more that makes a great saw

Have you ever had in your hands a SOLO 681

No way in hell an echo is even close. I believe the 620 is down by 1h.

Edit: the 620p is 4.5 HP.

Not sure what your getting at?
I like Husky and Stihl. Years ago Husky was accross the board faster, but that's not the case anymore.

I used to run all Huskys now mostly Stihls.

Stihl has came one strong with their newer saws for sure.

It's not, believe me. The 620 could barely keep up with my old 562xp and the 400 blows it away.

Haye to admit it, untill recently I was that way too. Went from my Mac 10-10, and pm 605 (pos 605) straight into husqy's cause stihl didn't have anything real impressive in the late 90s going into the 2000's. Times definatly changed in stihls favor.

Video can you?

Negative, neighbor wouldn't have it. Won't even let me take pictures of the trees I drop for him to post up. He's kinda eccentric.

if you ask the Husky user he will say the problem is 'stihl' or 'stihl there'

Problems with my 400c - will only run on full choke, as soon as i hit throttle she shuts off

took carb off and cleaned it, there was no noticeable dirt/dust

took muffler off to inspect for scaring - nothing i can see that would suggest scarring

replaced spark plug

i do not have a compression kit to test but it feels no different

fuel in non-ethanol 40:1 synthetic mix

any suggestions???

Thank You

Fuel lines getting soft, fuel filter clogged up?

Fuel lines soft and collapsing or in tank filter clogged? Possibly the fuel tank not venting.

There is definitely a pressure or vacuum leak on the 400. Did you check the pulse hose and intake boot? I may have seen this before. It is still a saw. Don't let the electronics blind you.
