560 loose screw

[rem284]

After cutting some ash with the 560 yesterday then re-starting after a fuel up there was an lot of rattling noise. So stopped and on inspection a allen headed black screw was found stuck to the magnet on the flywheel. I removed this and could not find where it had came from. I ran the saw since and it seems to be OK. Has anyone got an idea where it may have came from

The exhaust

Husqvarnas do have previous for loosing exhaust bolts . Its a neat trick to get it behind the cover and stuck to the flywheel magnet though .

Probably the screw that mounts the air injection nozzle (plastic trumpet) to the crankcases on the right hand side of the flywheel!

lenght and diameter of the screw would help ( m5/ m6 ) does the screw have a point on the end?

That spoils the fun, we could hang this out for days:lol:

Dont worry i think rem284 will be back when somthing falls off or goes bang.

Yeah, lets see how many screws fall out before the saw goes pop big style:lol:

The screw has a flat end it's 4.85mm diameter and total length is 20.95mm. The head has a flange resembling a small washer. I checked exhaust and could not see anything missing there

That's what I was thinking , hope it's not a crank case bolt!
