After much contemplation, I believe cuinrearview is correct. He made a very basic and truthful statement. Can't get any more clear than that.No. Just no...
I figure it this way. I'll pay a considerable amount of money for the Chinese saw, and the shipping. Only to have to upgrade to OEM parts on the brake flag, quad ring or the complete oil pump, ignition module, bar and chain, choke lever, possibly the carburetor, etc. At that point, I'm almost at the cost of a genuine Husqvarna when you figure in dealer discounts !!!
I think I'll get a new 395 and another new 372 in the Spring, and then call it quits on new saw purchases. Also sell off a lot of my current collection which is buried in storage.
