You usually only see wear on clutches on high hours saws or very big saws used on long bars that have been leant on hard. Yours doesn't sound like this. Worth checking the shoes are not stuck

Or just do a muffler mod by opening up the outlet a little - don't go too mad otherwise it will sound bloody loud and have little more performance than just opening it up a little. Not worth working on the engine - not an easy one to strip down.

Worth taking it apart and checking it. Check the surfaces of the clutch where they touch the drum and the inner surface of the drum to make sure the clutch hasn't worn a groove in the inner drum. The operating hours of the machine should give some idea as to if the clutch may be the issue, if it is low hours then it is unlikely and may just be the shoes are a bit sticky but if it is high hours then it is more possible.

The only time I get smoke around that area is doing full speed chain brake tests and that smokes a bit on around three tests. Reckon it is probably clutch slip on full tilt, about the only thing that would cause enough heat to burn the oil off!

Your mate is either badly trained, misguided or is trying to tap you for some funds. I don't know him do can't say I just wish tuning was that easy, what he has told you is fantasy!!!

What "Tuning" is being offered? The autotune interface offers no performance options and no remapping like cars being chipped! It isn't a case of plugging it in and changing parameters to change performance! The only way to tune these saws is to get down and dirty with a muffler mod and a dremel to open up and flow ports!

I know, the dialogue I was responding to was verifying the difference between sunburst and flamed maple and not the 335 question. Been listening to LZ since the late 70s so know what JP plays:001_rolleyes:

Good news, some you win:thumbup:

Just got to match the thread size or bayonet, pretty universal!

I may be teaching you lot to suck eggs......that is an old mothers saying and not giving a well known Arbtalk member sexual relief.....but.....get a turbo lance! It basically takes the needle jet that has the most cleaning effect and revolves it in a rapid figure of eight motion so you get a very high pressure fan shaped cleaning jet. It was invented by some foreign dude and is a ceramic jet that wobulates around its holder and turns a mediocre powerjet in to something that will rip moss off your block paving. It won't clean the ingrained dirt off your car but will blast mud off your quad etc:thumbup:

Is "Magic Wand" a euphemism:blushing: If you get stuck then I can probably help as I have many others:thumbup: Just PM me or email me as below: -

Nice, always liked this finish:thumbup:

Flamed Maple...very Jimmy Page:thumbup:

This time next year, we could be millionaires:lol:

Simple - you could be a gynaecologist when you have finished:lol:

Just looked it up, that's the one, not good if 1500 tonnes of TNT went up:thumbdown:

I gather from a friend in the trade that there is a sunk wartime boat with a rather large payload of ordnance on it and there is no way that they can safely build the runway in the Thames estuary. Not sure if it is accurate but he does know a lot about a lot!

Not done a 576 before but from experience, long handled pliers or surgeons/fishing forceps are pretty good at doing the job. There are a few tricks I use on the straight forward pipe type fuel lines to get them through the sealing fuel tank wall such as cutting the end at an angle and using oil but just taking the tank off can help.

I think you added a spare "0" there Andrew:blushing: think it should be 2750rpm! Did the dealer do the throttle check when he had the diagnostics on? You just start it, and leave the throttle closed and then open and make sure the autotune sees it OK. Small air leaks will adjusted for with the autotune - it is pretty good like that as it makes the engine survive but will cause some running issues.

Been refurbing a Husqvarna 61 that I have owned for a few years, never run and has sat on the shelf a long time. Fitted a new P&C kit as the bore was a bit of a mess. Got down to the all important Pressure and vacuum test and had a big leak. Traced it back to the big plastic inlet spacer between the carb and cylinder caused by........a first in my books.......the bolts were too long and must have been a retro-fit by someone and ended up taking out the top end:thumbdown: Managed to get a couple of thick washers behind them and bingo, sealed and seems good, lovely condition and will be shortly up for sale.

Nice condition:thumbup:

Try taking of the breather pipe from its connection on the carb air filter connection elbow, if it is better then plug the hole in the elbow and leave the breather pipe off.

Personally I find the couriers pretty good, the worst ones were the Irish ones where there is a swap over from the Irish side to the English courier and vice versa. One of mine sat in Birmingham for two weeks and one went to a similar address some 150 miles away! Apart from that, I find the service damn good and good value. The drivers I meet are always helpful and I help them as much as I can to get them on their way by getting the parcels ready and helping carrying them. I have had a couple of deliveries that needed a bit of coaxing but generally very good. I think this thread is a bit hard on the courier firms and no one is viewing it from the drivers side having to find addresses, often not in a nice orderly street with house numbers, driving thousands of miles a year with the average car driver being a knob (the holiday car accidents and motorway closures has begun already), working long hours with little help and poor wages etc The problems are often caused by overloading the drivers and the traffic on our roads!

Try asking your dealer for the latest carb upgrade. Husqvarna made changes to the pumping diaphragm to get over this bogging in the mid range. The software has no adjustments that will sort this issue but may throw up a fault code or two.

They all do it TBH, many of the drivers are self employed and if they get to the end of the day and they still have parcels left, they sign them as being no one in. Fridays are a prime day for this and 7.18 is pretty late to be working. The Ipostparcels guy who picks up my kit arrived at 8.00pm one evening due to traffic - not sure I would want to be away from home at that time regularly!! Just track the parcel in or pick it up from the depot if local!
