Starting to get crank bearing failure on these saws , plastic cage giving up causing flywheel to jam on the coil , anyone tried a steel cage bearing in these saws ?

Do you mean clutch bearing

Do you mean clutch bearing

 

No not the clutch bearing , crankshaft bearing ,they use a plastic cage to support the bearings , i am starting to see these failing on saws with around 200 hours on them , one had 180 hours 12 week old saw

Crank bearings are all metal though ?

Hi, had this problem before in some bike engines, if they`re standard bearings just get the numbers off them and get steel caged replacements online. If given a choice, crank bearings are often designated with a C3 running clearance suffix after the number which is shown as three little circles on the bearing.........but I haven`t done this with a husky, but I don`t see why not......somebody else will know , cheers

I have to fit Husky parts as all the saws have been warranty so far , i was just wondering if anyone had done there own saw that was out of warranty , average life span of a 560xp in the forest is about 6 months so i dont see any old ones !!
