Go for it, Al... I'd love to see if you can squeeze any gains out of the saw. beyond muffler porting.....Consensus is, it isn't worth it..and may not be possible. Seems it might be, maybe with a bit of a timing change and larger carb jets? and porting and piston work. But for real world use...

Mainly just price. I like the shape of the 335/338/2139 a bit better---more reach, shaped better to slide through brush, better lanyard attachment, and a tad lighter. And it now has a side access chain tightener. Muffller gases directed at right hand is ridiculously stupid, but a non-issue, as...

Another update. As I've said, I've never liked the earlier 335 Cali that I have. but I had still bought another one several years ago. It probably isn't even broken in, dunno how many tanks through it, 5 or so? Anyhow, I put the ported muffler on it, and compared it to the 2139. Time was...

This is where Walker's put their port...they close up the stock port. I've added a same size port on the lower outside corner of the muffler--can't find my pics of that ....

Good one, skwerly one..... what say, stiggy???

OK, I ran another test...this time with a 14 inch well sharpened chain on the 200T....with the cutters about 40% gone...should be a fair bit faster than the new safety chain on the 2139, which may well not even be broken in yet. And the 200T is still on its first sprocket I think, so is...

Say what, stig? I think everyone has known that for years...

nope. I add a 1/2 inch tube facing down halfway. Weakens the plastic cover a bit, as you have to create a hole.

Walker's quit doing the li'l husky's cause they weren't seeing any gains, beyond muffler modding..... I'm not a saw builder, so don't know exactly what they did, but for $120 or whatever they charged it wouldn't have been much. I do recall that it's possible they might have somehow changed the...

Awwwight...sumbuddy agrees wid me.....and that fella has run a saw or thirty in his day..... I'll stop short of calling it a POS though...my friend Andy says they've solved the carb issues with the latest renditions... Andy sharpened my 60 inch chain....pretty sure I can easily make the cuts...

Al, there's nothing much that can be done to the innards of a 338 or 192T that makes any appreciable difference. can't deck the cyl. Porting doesn't work. But was that 40% cut reduction time not amazing--just from switching mufflers? Husky altered th oiler design years ago...problem solved...

Shows you know little about the current product....which can be understandable if you had bad experiences as did many with the early editions. Husky really shot themselves in the foot in bringing out that early shoddy product. Even when they were unreliable, I got tons of service out of all...

Hey, Blink.....not saying you don't take care of your saws...but I try to, and rarely have major problems.... but I do own a whole slew of saws, so if one breaks, I always have a backup--or three. You really oughta consider a 2139.....Spike60 from Arborist Site sells em cheap. But, if you...

Hi Al, You meant 020 AV.... In its day, the S25 far outsold the 020S, I think. Prolly due to the price. And they were good saws. I didn't use them much. Used the Echo 302S and the 330....why, I think because I knew little about saws then, and never knew about the Poulans. And the old 020...

True dat!! I was at my chain saw guru Andy's today, getting some chain sharpened for crane day on the big (un) populars Monday. Got the 60 incher all prepped, after it wuz rocked by a groundie on last August's even larger poplars. And a 42"er is also ready to go. It'll be on a 2100, as backup...

8.15 seconds versus 6.4 is......20% faster.....that significant..if the test was more equal. Put the same chain on each saw, same pro chain, no safety stuff, same bar...with the riders down a bit.....the 2139/338 will still be well in the lead...it has a lot more torque.... The 200 is in great...

Sure, the 200 is a tad better balanced, but that also means it has a couple inches less reach. Trade off., imo. And the 338/2139 is better shaped for movement through the canopy, and has a better saw attachment. I have no problem holding the 2139 out at arms' length...though for cutting...

that 200 chain was real sharp..it just has issues....till it started hnging up, it was moving right along......pffssst...

blablablah.... you 200t lovers sure do get your panties in a wad awful quick, dontcha....:cry: I told you guys the test wasn't perfect. But also, Y'all ought know that my old 335 was a proven 200T killer...and was for 3 years! Take that! :P The 2139 has a lot more torque as well I think...

Sorry to bust your bigballz, all you chainsaw nerds who think the 200is the baddest climb saw out there........ but we have a new king of the hill.. Disclaimer, this isn't a fair test. not same chain, and the 200 chain is old and hangng up in the cut. <object width="425" height="350"> <param...
