Jonsered CS2188

I'll let y'all be the guinea pigs on that one then :) Sounds a little too good to be true. My CS2188 is the best big saw I've owned. I highly recommend trying a 24" bar on an 88cc saw. Easy to maintain and just plain nasty.
 
That is pretty cool Will! I have heard that a jonserd is pretty much a red husky. Not sure where they are made, but I think the brands share the same engines.
 
Did you read the specs in that ad?
"Displacement 87.9 cc
Horsepower 6.5
Weight 55.0 pounds..."
Wait, what??? No wonder it's so cheap - it's actually a boat anchor disguised to look like a Johnny Red.

No, I've been trying to stay away from the ad, lest I fall prey to it. Thanks for pointing that out though. Definitely going to stay away now.

The saw is actually 15.5 lbs, not 55 lbs. I can already imagine the data entry conversation where that went awry.
"How much does it weigh?"
"15.5 lbs"
"55 lbs?"
"Yes"

And 6.5 hp? Which actually looks to be correct. Crazy. All I can picture is a Honda 5.0 HP motor. And the johnny red is so much smaller, yet a horse and a half stronger?

Oh yeah, they're actually in Indonesia.
