Over the course of a year- polesaw, blower and a 135.

 

All not used for a year or so, so drained of fuel and refilled with fresh good mix beofre staring. Each one has scored the bore on startup and is now scrap.

 

WTF? I never had this problem with Stihl! I'll never buy Husky again.

It must be something to do with the current materials used, I have saws that have sat for 30 years [and certainly without the care and attention you provide] never had an issue such as this, and that includes many Husqvarna models.

Sounds like they need storing with a bit of motor oil poured into the cylinder and cycled a couple of times.

 

I'm guessing the cylinder rings have rusted as everything else should be aluminium alloys.
