Find it hard to believe they only allow two hours: if it's under warranty it's fix or replace ( manufacturer's responsibility ). We have had two 550 cranks go same day ( under 6mths old ), 20mth old 560 crank n engine casing ( the new one has an extra internal bolt to improve seal ), one of 550 then had pot n piston failure ( at 18mths old ) all fixed no quarrel from husky. The only problem dealer had was our sarky comments. As an aside I've been told a lot of the running problems with the auto tune saws is because they are tested/run up on Aspen then tight arses like me put normal fuel in and they don't like it (want to run on Aspen but we use over 25lt a day on forestry jobs and I'm finding it hard to justify another increase in rates! )

Gone on more than I meant to but anyone agree? : )

I care not if it takes them 2 hours or 22,got my 550 and 560 back,550 snapped the crank in 3 minutes,560 rattled like nails in a washing machine.I've had a 'sincere' apology and expect replacement saws very soon,how can you be a husky dealer and not even have the autotune plug in box? no vac test/pressure test etc etc I'm guessing.i'm a complete dinosaur but even I move with the times

The auto tune plug-in is damn expensive, £400ish last time I priced it up, although the pressure/vac tester is inexcusable

Done 390XPs before, like a big version of the 346xp, a fair bit to do. Stubby has one of the ones I did and features in the vid below with MattyF doing the work:thumbup:
