I dunno.. that’s what I thought , maybe sucking in too much fresh air ??

I found on the first saw it really upset the auto tune … yesterday, Monday I taped the hole with roof repair tape and it seemed to settle it , ran really well tbh considering I hadn’t started either saw for 6 months! Going to try Liquid Metal on the newer one.

I think replacing the crank case is totally last resort mate.. I was just wondering if husky Know there is a fault or weak spot in the mk 2 . not one not of the first gen 550’s I’ve ever seen have broken here so the must have redesigned them to make them lighter @adw ? I know of one other person this has happened too on the mk2.

No they will still buy land ,get ****************ing huge grants to plant trees on it so it is tax free or solar ,off set carbon or what ever the latest scam is. Either way it won’t go to food production.

Any one else had this problem with mk 2 crank cases breaking around the back ? one of the saws was months old when it broke the other was just over 6 months and retired as the auto tune could not handle the change and ran like a bag of nails. I put them both too the back of the shed as I didn’t have time to address , now I’m on first thinning I need some 50cc saws that work!

Problem is the tiny majority of farmers are the ones who should be feeding you , they will have to sell the land or go bankrupt when it’s passed down … who buys the land ? People with more money who won’t farm it. Amy one would think it’s part of the great DAVOS plan which keir has sworn his allegiance too….

Aye … do I have to pay for you to divulge 😂 I have an older 6400 that’s getting sluggish and blocking filters quick.

In the tank Paul ?

It’s simple enough Dan , just put the bars on top of each other and make sure they line up from the back and mark the bar from the original echo mount holes on to the stihl. To be fair Mark if I was organised enough I would buy them in bulk off you or rob with the correct number of drivelinks ..but I usually have a load then realise I have none left and the local mower shop or agri dealer off the shelf saves the day for an extortionate price instead.

They are equally at home In our uk trees for transfers , like if your working in groups of any size broadleaves or pines or big wide open well spread crowns with big upright limbs. get your throw and clip in a foot ascender and it’s a quick and easy no hassle way of getting where you need to be.

Out of the 5-6 2511’s I’ve owned I’ve taken off the bar and replaced with a 10” stihl straight out the box , there is no point in even messing around with a carving bar for tree work. The other thing is drill out two holes so you can pick up stihl 10” chains straight off the shelf off any dealer. certainly never had the problems described by th OP sounds like the wrong pitch chain.

If I ever wear out my epple hook I’d buy it, the gape on the captain isn’t big enough for a lot of branches , especially if your doing a transfer across at right angles I want a bigger anchor than 4” ! only thing I may not be keen on is the soft link connection for rolling it off branches .. I would have to try it to see if it warrants concern though.

I dunno , some guns are just crap ! No amount of scopes or sighting in will the things ever shoot straight.
