Heavy pig bastards the oem of that series are
But they are durable
My neighbor when i moved here 10 year's ago
Has a 038 he bought new and I can't remember how many times he's borrowed a 266 or 268 of mine to run instead of running his own saw lol

Finally got a shipping date on the 28" light bars....had to talk to Amazon customer service. Should be here in a couple weeks

How many did you buy?

I’ve had a few 372s like that too. My fix is to strip a small length of insulation from a 14ga wire, split it, then pull the outer cable cover out of that bracket on the carb & put the insulation on the cable and up into the bracket. Refit the cable and you’re good to go. Essentially it’s just lengthening the outer cover like you would adjusting the old dirt bike brake cables.

Thanks. I will check into that when I get time. When I squeeze the trigger while watching the carb, I can feel and hear a small click, and that's when the plastic piece on the carb shaft stops rotating.

Is there a reason they don’t make longer bar/chain combos in .050? I’m heavily invested in .050 chains.

Me too. That's why I didn't get one. I did get one in stihl mount to convert to Husqvarna, I do have some. 063 but not one .058.

Stihl lite bars come in .050 up to 36", I know that because my 500I has a 36" 3/8 x .050 Lite bar resting on it currently. I would've preferred that it was .063, but for $100 in lightly used condition I wasn't gonna say no.

My brother ran his one man band timber business for around 40 year's
I cut with him often
We ran mainly 24" some 28" and rarely 32" bar's all .50 on 181/282/288/394/395s
It's funny the only chains that ever broke on us was stihl chain.

Free one day shipping
I actually forgot I ordered it
It's exactly like most other china chain and esp upstart chain I've bought hundreds of but they never offered more than 20" chains.
