Just found out about it while in palm beach. The shop guy says it has as much power as the Husky since it is basically the same saw. But why the big price difference?

I'd buy one, they look cool..looks like a 338.
Same spark plug cap cover, ready for a shockingly good day.

Is that a real chain brake or just a guard?

That is a fine saw. I would try it out. Couple of guys swear by it. I think Roger really loves it... And Roger is no schlep.

I understand it's basically the same as a Husky 338. It's probably a decent saw.

I've used the predecessor to the 338, in a rear handled version, once sold over here as the Husky 333 lite. Any more plastic on it and you'd think it could be purchased at toys r' us, but it held up well until the oil pump went out. Repairing it required complete disassembly, down to the crank bearings. Still, I've wanted to get one for myself if it comes up at the Jap auctions, the one I used and worked on belongs to the crane operator.
When tired, the lightness was helpful.

Speaking of which, anyone got any opinions on whether Husky solved the oil pump issues in the top-handles?

They will need a carb adjustment after a few tanks.
An extra 3/8 drill hole in the muffler wakes them up too.

Can the muffler mod be done a'la Dozer Dan style, through the retainer bracket with a screen sandwiched in there?

I would think so,
On the few I have done to these little saws, I usually tig the stock exhaust port closed, take a #80 chain link and tig it to the face of the muffler for support it then drill the link eyes to 3/8" each.
Crude, but it works and keeps the muffler supported, gives it the dual port effect.

I've heard they have .The problems with the oilers killed their business to ever selling another baby Husky in this area though for some time to come .
I've got three 335's in the shed with one that oils and that only because I put a new pump shaft in it . The shaft is only 8 bucks but you have to field strip the tiny saw to install it .:what:
They cut Ok and have a good balance but the muffler burns the pizz out of you and the air filter needs a lot of attention being in the front where the chips are .
