Title: Jonsered 2186
Post by: man of stihl on May 27, 2011, 04:39:00 pm

I picked this Jonsered 2186 up today. Low compression. I know nothing about them except they are like the Husqvarna 385. 85cc. Anybody run one?(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g457/rjcfritz/sawpics046.jpg)

Only thing I know about these are they were the sister saw to 38 and there was a batch of 385's that had main bearing troubles in the beginning, but never heard of any on the 2186. 

Dont the 390 top ends bolt right up on these.  ;)

I believe the problems with the initial 385s were mostly solved before they started to make the 2186.

The 390xp top-end is a direct bolt on, as far as I know.

Found the one of the PP372 with 375K cylinder with muffler mod similar. screen looks funny in my pic, but it was just like yours.
