Just another junk chainsaw

I like a thicker grip. So I ordered the full wrap for the G372xp. $29 shipped OEM set.

You couldnt give me a 026 260 for one of these saws. IMO better design intake boot layout. Better choke and air filter set up too. Poulan 3000 49cc thin ring brought back from the dead.

Another plastic saw with the normal rattle it's muffler apart inside. Lucky it didnt get back into cylinder. 029 039 290 310 390

Can see it back there. Had to order a muffler. Should just start stocking the dang things.

Went on a roll and fixed 3 more 54cc chrome bore saws for a total of 6 to sell to locals. My fav small saws I like to use. Plus if it keeps one person from buying those over priced plastic saws :laughing:.

Couldnt trade me 026 260 for these they are IMO that much better. Built the same but with better quality in them by poulan.

I used to use 325 in oregon LG, then stihl RS, then tried LPX years back and fell for that over all of them. But always wished they had it in LGX. They listened.

Now to see if it will be my new favorite in 325 or not.

Set up on a 3.3 335 chrome bore to test out to see.

Since you know chains i have a question, what is a "Pico" type chain and what is the difference from a non pico chain?

Picco is what stihl calls 3/8LP low pro

Thank you for the reply and info. Does the low pro of the chain help with reducing kick back?

Heres a real world review on a Stihl clone, a Holzfforma G660, seems like a good buy but I'm still leery....
