west coast

was the west coast option a dealer modification that added the k&n crap? Seems like no info on the west coast/east coast thing.:deadhorse:

I have read that the "open" filter on the WC versions were originally meant for firefighting in the woods, in a hot environment, not for "normal" woodcutting - but I am far from sure.......:confused:

SawTroll: You my friend are correct about the "open" filter for hot environments, but it was also developed for the chainsaws when Mt St Helens blew as none of the chainsaw manufacturers had air filters that would filter out the fine ash dust. Along came K&N with a washable type air filter that filtered out the very fine volcanic dust, I have seen Stihl, Husqvarna, Pioneer, Jonsered, and Sach Dolmar (just to name a few) all with K&N filters on them. If I remember correctly the only filters available up until then were of the fine nylon mesh type, now we have flocked filters available for almost every saw made.:blob2:
The K&N filters also worked very well in the hot dry environment we have in the SW US., about the only problems were that they would get damaged or smashed when you were limbing, and they were not cheap to replace.
Also you are correct about the 930 Super being 4.8 Kw it should be 4.4 Kw or 4.5 Kw, do you agree? That was my typo and I will revise my listing to reflect the correct Kw rating. :eek:

My best guess is that it is about the same as the 288xp, ie about 4.5 kW, as you said.

I have never seen an "official" power rating for either the 910, 920 or 930.....:confused:

The 288XP is what I was comparing the 930 Super to as they are same cc size saws, I have used both and the only difference I noticed was the 288XP seemed to be a little less weight than the 930 Super (maybe my imagination). :confused: :confused: :confused:

Well, they aren't the "same" saw, but I find it hard to to believe that Husky developed an 87 cc engine from scratch, when Jonsered already had one that worked fine......

The sister saw in Husqvarna's line to the 930 is the 181. They used the same ignition and clutch but that's where the similarities end. The 920/930 uses a different crank, piston, cylinder, case, and flywheel. The 920/930 is descended from the 910EVL which is descended from the 801/90e.

You may well be right, but I believe the closest Jonsered sister of the Husky 181 is the 820.

The 910 (1979) was one of the last pure Jonsereds - the 920 one of the first E-lux Jonsered, and different in several ways (influenced by both Husky and Partner designs).

The 8xx and 9xx Jonsereds are basically the same saws, from generation to generation (not 8xx counterpart of the 910 though).

Husky first adopted the 80.7 cc displasement with the 181, about the same time as the 820 was released - then the 87 cc one (288xp), about when the 930 was released.

910's rock! My Dad has a 910E, bought it new in the early 80's. It's on it's 3rd 24" bar and cut a ton of fire wood. It's still an animal. I don't know the wieght but it really doesn't feel any heavier than a 460 sized saw. The down side is finding parts and bars. I looked for a new air filter for it wasn't able to locate one.

What do you guy think that 930 west coat is worth?

The weight is more like a 660 than like a 460.
