have a Husky 141 purchased march 2003-one rebuild
still cuts logs most saws shudder at.
wish they still made them-now i am in a pickle as i cant decide on a new unit
I must say a 16 inch bar will cut some pretty big trees done correctly
recon biggest I felled had a diameter of at least 40 inches-green of cource

A Worthless Saw!
I knew there was something wrong with this saw the first time I used it. It bogged down and the chain and bar heated up. It was not getting any bar oil. I brought it back to the dealer where they replaced the clutch and oil pump. My next attempt to cut wood was no better. Three oil pumps later it still gets no bar oil. The dealer said I should use the low temp oil. Using the low temp oil on a 70 degree day and still no bar oil. The reservoir is still full after running a tank of fuel through it. There have been other numerous problems, but lack of bar and chain oil has been constant. I believe it is time to buy a Stihl.
I had the same oiling problem as you, but i fixed it by drilling a very very tiny hole in the filler cap at the highest location with it screwed in tight. It oils the chain great now. Thinking it wasn't venting, and i was right. Been using it every winter for cutting up limbs on felled trees where you don't need a big heavy saw. It actually cuts better now than when new, probably due to engine loosening up, and i drilled a 1/8" hole in muffler to reduce back pressure, made it some what louder, but worth it for the power increase.
"does NOT line up 100%" I meant.
Anyway, maybe I shouldn't be commenting on a saw I don't own, but interestingly, I'm considering buying one so hence reading reviews.
I read somewhere to drill the tiniest hole in the highest point of the oil cap. It sounds like this model might have a design flaw in having no breather hole so the pump can't pick up any oil through the oil lines. I would steer clear of your dealer if they kept suggesting replacing oil pumps yet it was still not oiling the bar.
Obviously have a look at the oil hole without a bar on while you've got the engine going and giving it some decent revs. If it is oiling well through the oil channel on the machine then my other suggestion is a fault in the bar not lining up well with the oil channel on the chassis. I have read that the oil hole on the genuine husqvarna bar does line up 100% with the oil channel on the machine. If this is the case, an angle grinder or drill (with very strong drill bit) will sort this out. I've done this on an old mcculloch bar and it worked a treat. But I'm talking about a made-to-last old steel bar that probably weighs as much as this machine does! It should still work on a modern but be careful as modern bars are all rubbish designed to wear out within the year of purchase (yes even stihl, oregon and husky bars).

141 Is A Pos!!!!
My father in law bought this saw for me back in 2005. I use a Stihl 038 with a 28 inch bar for falling big trees and I had no little saw for limbing.
I used this saw for about one hr. in 2005. I just pulled it out for the second time (2014) and I ran it about 30 mins tonight. I noticed that it was blowing blue smoke really bad and I thought I might had gotten the mix to rich for this saw.
A few mins later when I went to refill the bar oil I noticed light inside of the tank. I looked outside and found that the exhaust had melted the oil tank.
After reading online I found this to be common for this saw. To bad I don't have the receipt for it or it would be going back.
SO STAY AWAY FROM THIS SAW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a 141 in 03 had it until spring of 09,the saw out of the store is a great saw for small jobs, I needed a saw to cut firewood for years to come. That saw with a aftermarket bar was the answer, it never missed a beat. for 5 years no engine or carb problems, mine was stolen in spring 09 and would love to have another, apparently not avalibly in ArK.

I Am A Homeowner, Not A Logger, I Have A Huskvarna
I am a homeowner, Not a logger, I have a Huskvarna 141 that I purchased at Lowe's, after a severe windstorm took down a Huge tree in my yard. I am very happy with the saw. I do not force the saw, Nor do I force ANY machinery. The saw works fine. I have two extra chains that I rotate on it and keep it very sharp. I cut "camp wood" with it occasionally . But the saw works flawlessly and leaves piles of long shavings in it's wake.

The Husqvarna 141 Is Powerfull, Always Starts,and
The Husqvarna 141 is powerfull, always starts,and its well balanced as well as light. I have had it for years just use high quality two stroke oil and it will give you years service. it is much better balanced the similar Stihl 310.
i own a 310. i would not compare it to a husqvarna 141. the stihl is a bigger saw all around. i run a 20' bar and chain combo on mine. the 141 will not run that big of a bar and chain and produce a good result.

I Bought One Husqvarna 141 To Clean Up After A Hur
I bought one Husqvarna 141 to clean up after a hurricane because it was the only one left on the shelf. I used it, abused it and beat the whatever out of it and it never missed a beat!
It can take a bit of playing w/the choke to restart it hot, but other than that I've got my money out of it several times over.
One tough chainsaw.
never use choke when hot. choke is used when cold to prime carb.

Living In Florida Makes Owning A Chain Saw A Must.
Living in Florida makes owning a chain saw a must. The Husqvarna 141 is a great saw for the price will cut through fallen branches with a breeze.
