T540xp running problems

[jnoon]

Starting to loose a bit of love for my 540 really didn't like the hot last week wouldn't start after refuel which was very frustrating so it went flying and was passed up the 201t

Went second pull hmmmmmmm 😕

Just got mine back from my , ever so helpful and friendly dealer . It was running erratically and stalling . This was the problem ...There is a secondary butterfly valve to the right of the main butterfly that follows the the main one with a slight delay . ( a feature of X torque engines ) The seal around it was not seated properly . My dealer ( DM Chainsaws of Walberton West Sussex Fixed it with no charge )

 

Update ! Mine fell in half today . The molded lug that locates one end of the rear AV spring sapped leaving the saw flapping like a bit of washing ......

You have GOT to baby it . No good working it rough . Dont drop it on your strop it will bend the AV spring and eventually break the molded lug so the saw fall in half . Wath out with the Techlite bar . Dont do anything other than clean strait cuts . No flicking bits off or anything tricky like that . The 2 bar rails part and de laminate .

Well . Maybe it would be . They are tougher externally thats for sure . The only thing that breaks on our 200 is the brake handle where it pops into the chain cover but just carry on makes no difference . They did have their carb problems periodically but no where near the problems of the T540 . When I first got my 540 I thought it was a cracking little saw . Fast cutting and torquey but Husky have missed a trick by making it tooooo fragile ..

Had mine since they came out and it still has not broken any thing??? I also dropped it 40ft when a tree motion gear loop pulled out and I had not clipped it on too the saw ring! And it just sat on the ground ticking over with its original tech lite bar bent .... We straightened that to finish the job and has been fine since surprisingly so no need to replace that either.

If you yo yo it and canon ball saws around a tree it won't be for you.
