I willing to bet neither one of them is really a "c" anymore.

The top one is. My partner bought it from me and its still stock.

The 2152cwh has a 357xp carb now and a new 2152 top cover. The primer bulb is gone! It's been ported now too! It's my favorite saw now!

Not entirely stock, I don't see any green caps.

So true! just had to add those green caps to my collection of extras.
That reminds me the mufflers were changed by the dealer when I bought the saws.

 

[J.Walker]

Things were better back in the old days, you did'nt have to worry about Cat mufflers.

ps, PB this is not my saw.

 

[PB]

Well, who's saw is it!?

Jonsered 80

When I was a faller in WA, OR and CO, I always ran Husky 2100's, with the same saw as backup. Then one day, I was in a saw shop in Montrose, CO because one of my 2100's was stolen and I was offered a freshly rebuilt Jonsered 80 for a 'back up ' saw. Lots of compression and a nicely done saw overall. A little dated even then, as the newer 'turbo' Jonsereds were out. I took it with the idea that if I liked the brand, I'd buy a newer model.

Well...the 80 only had a 24" bar and so it really was just a 'back up' saw. Even so it received a lot of use...great limb 'er! Then I quit and went into the sheep business. Had a big farm and used the 80 all the time. Bought a bunch of factory parts because they were rapidly disappearing. Saw kept going and now 28 yrs later, it' still going all the time in my fencing business. Always was a beetch about vapor locking if you parked 'er in the sun. Just make sure it was in the shade and no problem.

I always wanted to try the 1020(?)....I think it was about the same size as the Husky 2100. If I ever see one up close, I'll probably buy one.;-) Oh yeah, I know you're expecting me to say the 2100 gave up the ghost yrs ago...wrong. I just cleared some Yellow pine that averaged 5.5' at the butt with it-for a customer on his property. Sure got my blood pumping again.

I can't find skip-tooth chisel chain anymore in .050 gauge like I used to have, so I'm buying a little bigger bar (28") to fit the 80, milling out the bar grove to fit .063 gauge skip tooth. I have it on good authority that this will work and the saw is powerful enough. Be the best of both worlds if it works and doubtless, the big Husky will be used even less. I'm older, it's heavy.;-)

New to me 625

I aquired a like new 625 over the Labor Day weekend. Just got done cleaning it up. This saw has seen very little use. I cut a dead birch tree for my future father-in-law, and he gave me the saw as payment. This thing runs really well. All I had to do was put new gas and a plug in it and away it went!

It was, it was the Partner P100 Super in a red dress - at least some of them even were yellow under the red paint!

The 910 was the last pure Jonsereds, in the upper cc class.

As I have been told the story, Jonsereds had plans for a 100cc version of the 910, but that was stopped by E-lux/Husky - and the rebadged 1020 was the result.....

No, but there were other issues that would have worried most of us today, I believe.....

 

[SawTroll]

I willing to bet neither one of them is really a "c" anymore.

That "C" sure is annoying, as is the green gas cap!

I am sure that Jack fixed the real issues + some - but that annoying letter is still there......:censored:

They sell decales, don't they?

My 2153WH never was a "C" - those are not popular here......

OK, well come to think of it....this guy I knew in the saw shop in Montrose, was the one who talked me into the 80 as a back-up saw. I also was in error...I immediately put a 28" bar on it with .404 skip-tooth chisel from Baileys.

After looking at the file pic, I think he personally owned a 910E. He'd had a bad experience with a CO gypo (no surprise there, ha!) and was hangin' out in this saw shop helping repair saws. I told him where I was fallin' and he came out one day with his personal 910. I wasn't into timber that day where we could pit the 910 against the Husky 2100. I thought it was a really nice saw though by its performance-lighter than the 2100 at least. I can't remember his bar size...maybe 36", maybe less.

Well then, maybe I should look for a used 910...I don't understand the 'E' and the info I saw was that it was only made in '79....also the 'EV', don't understand that designation as well?

The "E" probably was for electronic ignition, but I don't remember what the "V" was for right now - I don't have my documentation handy at the moment......

You are correct on the "E". The "V" was for heated handles.
