I am about fed up with my 394. It runs and cuts great and the air filter literally never needs cleaning, but it starts hard when it is warm and it leaks oil like an old Harley. Today I went through a tank and a half of fuel cutting up some big logs, and it wouldn't start when I refueled the 2nd time. You know when a saw should start and it just doesn't and you keep pulling and pulling?? Feels like you're gonna rip out your guts pulling on that sucker.
So I'm thinking of trading it off and getting the Stilh equivilent, is that a 660? Based on that Stihl vs Husky thread here a couple years ago, I concluded Stihl may be better cuz they are still family owned, not a giant conglomerate like Husky.
I've run Huskys for probably 30 years and I now think that, except for the 272 and 372 which are legendarily good, Huskys are junk. My 394 is junk, my new husky blower is complete junk, the climbing saws are utter junk, all junk but the 372.
Switching will involve the hassle of all the Husky bars I have will be useless but hopefully the chain will be interchangeable.
So you Stihl folk out there, will I like the 660??
