Is the PHO weight accurate? Thats darn light for a 3 cube if it is. My 026 and OE 346 are 10.6 lbs

Engine Displacement   47.9 cc
Weight   10.1 lbs

Probably the most underrated 3 cube saw out there.

It even has a adjustable oiler. Doesn't look or feel cheap either.

Feels exactly like my 026. (weight wise) This one has a 20'' bar &.325 chain. I think 16'' would be better though.

You notice the IPL shows EPA carb and a fully adjustable NON-epa carb. Least that is how I am seeing it. 

What is the carb? W or Z I'm going to guess a WT

The only drawback around here is the fact I haven't seen a dealer here in almost 20 years !!

My new husky dealer was the shin dealer here at one time. I'm guessing that had just ended somewhere in the 07 08

When did shin stop and who bought them up? Echo, E-lux?
