357 xp dealer rebuild

I would get the dealer to do what you paid him for and not expect any further charges.

 

If you hit a brick wall then I am always happy to work on these saws:thumbup:

500 quid and still not fixed properly! It's not rocket science and it's not exactly the most difficult saw to work on. That's disgusting!

It was 500€ = £385 roughly, the cylinder and pot are relatively expensive so not well off the pace but in my world, the pot may well have been saved, the piston....Meteor £30 or OEM £80 bringing the cost right down!

 

The saw may just need setting up on the carb again, not unheard of when a new piston/pot has been fitted and run in. Any good dealer would have this in and resolve this quickly and know it shouldn't be charged for if it is just a quick tune in line with the original repair.

 

If the dealer is unable to resolve the issue, charges more or fobs you off - then there is a real issue.

 

The issue I have is with the saw not snapping back to an even idle and holding on to revs. This may just be a sticky throttle linkage but is also a classic sign that a seal is leaking under crankcase vacuum and pulling air in from somewhere - a faulty clutch side seal is possible as is the manifold which is easy not to fit correctly and a leaking impulse line.

 

If the auto decomp is still fitted, personally I would convert it to the standard decomp as I have on all the saws that have come in with this fitted but make sure the lower hose connection is blanked off as mentioned earlier.
