Spud knows his stuff no question.However I would steer clear of after market pot and piston( speaking from experience ) Manufacturing tolerances are not as tight on these some times making it a false economy . What has happened to you seems to me to be a factory QC problem and as such Husqvarna should fix it . Press for that and good luck .

I guess it may be sorted by now, as the thread is 4 months old:biggrin:

 

Would be good to know the outcome though.

Thanks for the good rep:thumbup:

 

Probably well fixed by now though!

yep well and truly fixed now turned out it was nothing to do with husky or dealer. we were working in the back garden of a house cutting up a pine because the garden was enclosed i switched the saw off cause of the noise it had fell over on its side and the exhaust scooped up a gob full of sand when i picked it upto start it the dirt must have fell into the barrel and flattened the ring land on one side off the piston.new piston fitted cleaned out all the crap no marks in the barrel lucky man dealer was spot on it had everybody scratchin there heads how the dirt got in:thumbup:
