No, not pulling your leg, maybe I took it out of context or imagined it, or wished for it. Just the coils, not the entire saw. Both sponsor quotes are in the USA.

Oh, wasn't sure, still I've never heard that before and can understand the wishing for it , I did understand you meant just the coils.
Very sad to get that type of a quote from a sponsor, something is just not right, maybe he gave you the conversion to pesos .

That's cool, wonder if is to build customer confidence and to draw people over from stihl where there have been problems with the coils. Now I'm up to being wrong like 3 times this week .
One of the great things is I've not heard of any problems with them myself(although I may find myself eating more crow saying this ). I have only ever bout 3 new saws and all were of the original owners or their kids .

I've never purchased a new saw for myself and doubt that I will. However, this 365 deal is seriously nudging at my CAD.

No cons to the 365 XT or 372. I bought a 365xt 2 or 3 years ago. Put a hight top filter and filter mount, ground the transfer covers and it's a fine saw. No issues running it commercially in my tree service @ the frowned upon 50:1 lol.

He can't buy until next year, but I got two quotes for him from site sponsors. One was $1139 with 20" bar, ouch! The other quote was good and I've seen a lot of positive about that sponsor, so if he goes 365 that will likely be his dealer. He wants Husky and I'm convinced that's the way he should go unless he buys used. Are the ignition coils lifetime guaranteed if you buy new from a dealer? Seems like I seen bits and pieces about that in the past.

Is that the Jonny 365?

 

[stihlaficionado]

Is that the Jonny 365?

Yes. Same internals , straight handle

Yes. Same internals , straight handle

What's your opinion on the handle?

 

[stihlaficionado]

What's your opinion on the handle?

Doesn't bother me. I have a lightly used 365XT & the Jred 2252. I honestly can't tell the difference. The other Jreds I've owned(2260 & 2172) I had no issue with the handle.

 

[SawTroll]

I believe the 465 is marketed as a consumer saw (same line as the 455, 460 ranchers), and is autotune if I am not mistaken.
..... .

True - it obviously is meant to "steal" sales from the MS311 and 391.

This is an older document, but looks like Jonsered may have the same warranty on coils.

Damn! That's a heck of a deal!

 

[SawTroll]

Is that the Jonny 365?

Same as the 365 x-torq, yes.

Surely there are some minor cons - they are heavier than the original 372 and 365, and as I understand it they don't spool up as fast, and not as high.

 

[pro94lt]

The weight is very close...

The Cons....the no/off conections, also the switch now separates. You need to put your own switch in and conecters. The choke wears quickly so use a 'C' clip or melt or drill a hole to prevent this from comming off. Chokes break at the body so maybe just drill a hole inside the break an add an extention on it.
The trigger locks break more often??
maybe coat them with JB weld first?

The pro's. ..
