Husky 550xp running problems

[simon@BGS]

Not a good day just had a call from the dealer and the pot and piston scored up badly RIP 550xp

 

Now comes the question what to replace it with?

Are they saying why it nipped up . Did they check your fuel ? Coz if there is nothing wrong with that its either a massive air leak that the AT cant compensate for or a faulty carb ....

[simon@BGS]

They said it had over heated due to wrong fuel mixture and badly scored the pot and piston

Do you accept it was bad mix ?

[simon@BGS]

I'm pretty good with my mixing to be fair and use a stihl measuring cup. It's a 2 year old saw

Then I would contest that finding especially if you have run the same batch of fuel in other saws . As long as the mix was correct and no more than a week or so old then you cant blame the fuel .

I am picking the saw up from the dealer saturday and will inspect myself Sunday but new pot and piston is £360 fitted. Bit lost as to what to replace it with tho

The cylinder should be salvageable, tesgol sells pistons on ebay

This is the 2 stroke mix I used in the saw
