Hang on, the saw turns off if you turn the heater on? Sounds like a wire has been switched by mistake.

Not strictly on my bench, as he took it back to the dealer after I'd given it a once over.

 

Friend recently bought a new Husky 365 Special. Ran it a few times but no more than a single tank. All seemed fine at first, until it started smoking from under the top cover. He stopped it right then. He thought it might have been his imagination and tried in vain to restart it.

 

When we could meet, I had a look and started it without trouble, sounded good but it wasn't the quickest going and bogged in a test cut. Took the top cover off and found unburnt fuel on the fins. Not having a compression tester, I took the plug cap off and let the saw drop on the pull-cord. It got to the bottom a little too quickly.

 

I wiped down the fins and mopped anything that looked liquid like, refitted the top cover and started the engine without trouble. Ran it for a few seconds, then shut it off and removed the top cover. Yep, the fins were wet again but only on the righthand side and wetter near the top. I checked the head bolts' tightness and they were good and then thought, "What the hell, check the de-comp switch for tightness." It turned without fuss a 1/4 turn and then another 1/4. I didn't know the torque setting for this and wondered if it had a crossed thread, though it didn't feel like it.

 

I took the plug cap off, then let it drop on the pull-cord and this time it dropped more slowly. I advised he take it back to the dealer. History of the saw as far as my friend knows is this. The saw is new but has sat on a shelf for 4yrs. The dealer's main business is tractors but sells the occasional saw, (not so many 365s I surmise).

 

I'm guessing the de-comp switch was not fitted properly at time of manufacture. Time in dealers so far three weeks and no news.

Never seen this before.

 

440 stopped oiling, noticed oil behind clutch, took it off, noticed springy things on clutch had snapped off and cut through the metal pipe from the oil pump.

Seen similar damage on MS261s where the clutch drum goes! All fixable.

I was going to try cutting out the damaged bit of pipe and try to get a bit of fuel pipe to connect together?

 

guessing its a whole new clutch though?

Another 201t top handle replacement this afternoon. They break so easily compared to the 020's 200's.
