Husqvarna t540xp disappointing!

[Marc]

I thought it might save him some down time and expense in returning the saw again etc.

 

Yeah I know, I just get frustrated when I hear of another fellow arb having problems with his saw. If my saw ever develops a problem again I'll probably fix it myself, although I expect the first year at least to be trouble free.

Do a search for threads on T540 and you will find you are not alone ........

 

Had this exact problem the other week! It was repaired on warranty but still shouldn't happen.

Hi Lads,

I'm on my second 540 xp now and thought the first one might be just out of a bad batch. I thought the auto tune might be causing the problem because although we try to get the fuel mix dead on, you cant be as accurate every time and this might cause fluctuations in the revs.

Disappointed in the saw but would like to persist as the bigger huskys beat the stihls hands down with power.

I have never looked at the dimensions of the chains but I think the kerf might be slightly smaller on the oregon chains which might be why they seem to cut much faster but be warned keep your chain tight coz the smaller chain links arent robust and chains can fly off easily
