Husky 357xpg carbs. Bad batch or not?

[adbat234]

:thumbup1:Has any one else used a 357xpg2005 model and found they cut out and become a pain to start when hot. Ive been told by the repair shop its the carb and a common fault. £100 quoted for a new carb fitted but want to make sure before i get it done as the old "well its a process of elimination and the next job to try will cost..." line grates on me. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I don`t know about the technicalities but my advice would be buy a new carb and fit it yourself rather than pay someone. That will save a few quid!

DO NOT buy a carb , call husky , and ask to speak to tecknicle , tell them whats wrong and give them the sreial number of your saw , they will in turn tell you if you have one of the dodgy carbs , if you have got one of the carbs then husky wil normally replace them free of charge BUT you have to take the saw into your local dealer where they will order the carb from husky for free but you will have to pay for the fitting but this should only take them 45 mins topps, it is a wise idea geting it fitted by your local dealer as they normally will tune the saw for you and if the saw does go wrong you at least can give them the blame lol

 

PM me if you have any troubkes tho .
