You know, so many people have rivals between Stihls and Huskys, and if you like one, you HAVE to hate the other.
They both make very good saws, and they both have had a few BAD ones too!!
People around here claim that Stihls have more low end power, but Husqvarnas cut faster. Both of those statements are true, but it all comes down to chain speed. I have 8 tooth sprockets (instead of the stock 7) on both my 288's. They SCREAM through the little wood, and then slow down to "normal" in the big wood.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
