Husky hype?

[AW4130]

Out of curiousty, has anyone else's T540xp experience been a little... Ehhhhh, Less than what they had expected? I am just wondering, because about two months in and 6 hundred and some odd dollars poorer... I'm feelin a lil jipped. Mine seems to just shut off at times after cuts, require quite a few pulls most of the time for a restart AFTER said shut off, and if it sits for more than oh I dunno five minutes??? Cutting power is definately not always what I seen on some vids and read about being so impressive on threads. I dunno. Is this just me? Or did I get a lemon orrrrrr????? At first I thought it seemed rad but, meh, now it's not seeming very worth it. And for all the complaining about 201's and such, my supervisor has one that starts damn near first pull every time, (even cold), cuts great, and for Christ sake definately doesn't just shut off... after a cut... So I'm wondering if I shouldn't have just went with one of those instead. And I know, I know... This top handle saw issue is rediculously full of opinions and such. But seriously??? This just doesn't seem right at all you know?

You've got a lemon...

Oh and mine always takes 3 pulls cold usually one when hot which is about what my 355t does my 200 when hot can take 5 or 6 but it's been well used not sure how it's even still running

Right on, guess I should take it back to the dealer then eh? I mean, I went the full Monty with the damn thing you know? Bought the husky fuel to get the extended warranty and allllllll that jazz. I'm just pretty disappointed and it gets realllllllly aggravating when your saw that you paid nearly 700 bucks for all in all is acting like a turd when your just tryin to get a job done. :/

I'd take it in...

 

[jefflovstrom]

Yeah, take it in. We have six of them so far. Love em.

Mine doesn't do any of those things you mentioned. Runs and starts fine. I'm really liking it!

 

[pro94lt]

A saw shutting off unexpectedly is a safety Hazzard in my opinion especially a climbing saw... I've ran out of fuel a few times on the back cut when I had to encourage the top or Lim to go over in the needed direction. Not a good feeling. Raise hell to get it fixed!!!

 

[AW4130]

Thanks guys. I really didn't think from all the great talk about these saws that it was normal by any means.

Ran a T540 a little bit and wasn't impressed with it. I hated my 201T when I first got it but now that it's well broken in with an exhaust mod and a little tuning I'm loving the 201T. I'd sell that 540 and get a Stihl......Husky everything else though!

My thoughts exactly....there isn't a Husky top handle i ever liked.

I love my 201t also. I don't see what everyone whines about. Also did the exhaust mod and tuned it. Saw runs and cuts like a champ.

That's what I'm sayin I run a 16" bar on mine and have cut some some decent sized wood effortlessly.
