thinking of new saw

[Brian72]

Every job is different so owning many saws means you probably have the right tool for the job. If not, get another just to be sure. Work smarter, not harder!

I got rid of my MS290 and picked up an MS260 with an 18" bar. It cuts so much faster than the MS290 and is much lighter. Great little saw.

You just learned the difference between professional level saw design and construction and homeowner or occasional use chainsaws. The difference is apparent after you have some trigger time with both.

Shoot, you're still in stage one of CAD. You're still buying runners. Wait until the disease progresses and you start filling your garage with "projects". I have somewhere around a dozen now, and only two of them are problem free ready to go to the woods.

Denial is stage three Brett. I'm pretty sure I saw some parts and pieces hanging around your "saw room". And the pile of bars with no powerhead is a telltale sign as well.

I'm past denial but now I'm selling earlier acquisitions to fund port jobs for my current saws and to justify buying new ones.

Ported saws: Stage four? Next you'll move on to grinding on your own cylinders...

I haven't denied anything, but sometimes I do forget what I have in the current inventory, I'm fine, really .

You can get a used MS 361 like mine for much less than a 362. I just worked on a 5-year-old 362. The dealer quoted a repair price of $450 because he wanted to replace the ignition module. Owner gave the saw to me for analysis. Turns out that the black wire from the IM to to the plug was disconnected. I refastened it and the saw ran perfectly. I did some more servicing, but the owner admits that he owes me a few beers.

Once again, I like my MS361 and doubt that I will ever sell it. After at least 300 hours of operation since early 2008, it still runs very well. I think I changed the fuel filter in 2014. That's about it.

You must be a Stihl guy
I have 4 Huskys, and they ALL RUN GREAT
The 23 Compact and 266XP are 25 years old, that 266, starts first pull more often than not.
The 460 Rancher I bought used has a #8 scratched into the plastic, I don't know it's history, but never been a problem starting or running.
The 3120XP I recently bought, once I figured out to IGNORE the manual regarding using the throttle lock when starting, it rarely takes more than a couple pulls.

I don't know about others, but when I'm throwinv rocks, the targets aren't Huskey Orange

Negative. I actually just picked up the first creamsicle I've had since Feb. My garage has all orange, and red saws in it. Couple green ones too.
