Also, you do know that when you start that it will most likely blow up and kill you dead?

 

 

 

Yeah started it.. briefly!

Confession to make, in my haste last night I forgot to locktite the flywheel nut on/ do it up enough so it came lose and sheared the pin so have had to order another flywheel. Sticking with the chinese stuff though and hopefully be here tomorrow / monday

The same thing happend to my huztl 660. The flywheel loosened and whacked the ignition module. I complained to Arbortec/Huztl and they sent me a new one free of charge. The customer service is top notch.

Didn't it just shear the woodruff key? Does it have a woodruff key? If not how did you work the timing out? I've ordered the 372 kit  going to spend the next 10 days it takes to get here trying to find a knackered 372 that I can use for parts (I want my covers and chainbrake to be genuine)

No it's forged into the flywheel on this saw so can't reuse it

Luckily all that is fine as only ran for a few seconds. Found a new one on eBay in the UK for £20 so ordered that as don't want to wait but also ordered a new one from them as needed some rubbers and a spring anyway so will have a spare then

Them bloody flywheels, at least the taper was correct, Hutzel actually sell a flywheel for 361 where the key isn't cast into the flywheel its separate like all genuine saws should be before accountants started building them.
