Divide 1600/746 and you have 2.14HP... and that is at 100% efficiency. (746 Watts = 1 HP....) The Poulan should be about the same.... the numbers are just crazy.... Yup. And it's a mute point. I've got a Remington coming in the mail from southern Illinois. Tim even cranked it up over the phone for me. The damn thing sounded like an F-16 buzzing his shop. Now I've found the manual, so I can't wait to get the thing. You got screwed..... I'll bet you can't even find a place to plug it in...... :-) Nah, this'll be the best electric chainsaw I've got. You just watch! All goofing aside.... make SURE that your fuel is good... this new ethanol based fuel is HELL on 2-cycle engines.... Gene, I'm serious - it's *electric*. Tim is sending me an electric Remington. |

You're right. They were resurrected by MTD and it looks like the pre-2009 parts will be available for a while. http://www.remingtonchainsaw.com/ |
