Husqvarna 970 61 23-18 Reviews & Ratings
The body of the saw is still set long-ways and well balanced, and the engine is a little larger and more powerful, but the saw still weighs under 10 pounds. The handguard and chain brake have been beefed up for more protection and user comfort.
This is still considered a consumer-grade saw, but it will take on most household chores with very little effort, and all but the largest trees and wood piles. With the vibration dampening system on this saw you can cut as much as you need to and still have some energy left over to move the new pile you made.

Not Running Properly

Review Posted 08/11/2023
It appears to be decent saw but the problem I see is the carburetor is not adjusted properly. When I throttle the saw up to cut there is a hesitation before it runs up to speed. I purchased a carburetor adjustment tool and will fix the issue myself. I don't want to have to go through finding and authorized Husqvarna repair technician. Kind of disappointing being the cost.
