Dealing with customers and dog shit
spudulike replied to JohnDeere7197's topic in International Arborist Forum
Don't get me going on cat shit, at least the dogs only do it in their own garden and not the neighbours freshly prepared veggie patch!! -
I think I have only done one XPG...Durham for a fella called Scott......if it is this one, it had a new piston in it a couple of years ago as the original one had seized. It may well be fixable again if the bore isn't damaged beyond the normal transfer.

That looks toast to me

I am not sure how you got the gig to look at the saw but anyway.....you need to look at the exhaust side of the piston as this side gets the hottest and will show the signs of seize. The inlet side is the cooler side and rarely show seizure marks. The ring isn't visible on the inlet side as the ring ends are often on this side and would snag if they protruded in to the inlet port.

Just ask him what bit of the job he doesn't want done so he can save £50!!

The male spade looks like the rear carb heating plate connector on the XPG model....the other two connectors for the kill wire are much lower below the choke lever and not visible. The saw should run without this being connected if it is the heater plate but obviously worth reconnecting. These saws don't tend to cover the plug with fuel so your "fuel not getting to the plug" may be misleading. Usual check is to make sure the plug is sparking and if it is, try a bit of fuel down the plug hole or a squirt of WD40 etc down the back end of the carb. Like others have said, it may be a seized piston but that would be pretty obvious on the recoil handle but worth pulling the muffler off to check.

You should hang that in your downstairs loo!!!

If that last pic of the saw is the clutch drum, measure the crank shaft to make sure the shaft isn't shot as that wear looks bad. A few pics of the cylinder damage would be useful.

The special had closed ports...like this: - SELLING - Husqvarna 365 cylinder | Outdoor Power Equipment Forum OPEFORUM.COM I've got a good Husqvarna 365 cylinder here that came off a running saw that had 160psi compression IIRC. Made by Mahle. Make offer. ...
-
It all depends if the ridges are protruding aluminium transfer or scores through the nikasil plating. Most cylinders can be brought back to life if it is just aluminium transfer. The special 365 should have closed transfers, same as the 372.
-
As above but as another option, stick a 372 top end on it...the XP and not XTorq....you may need a different manifold and clamp otherwise, enjoy the extra wallop!
-
Just Google the saw model with "IPL" after it and take the part codes off the document. On Husqys, the heated handles and components are usually listed near the end of the document. IPL=illustrated parts list BTW!

No Castrol R...shame on you😉

What an arse...bare faced cheek...what a bummer Just getting through some suitable retorts!!! Sounds painful ☹️

Looks like an old K&N Filter or is it Pipercross!!

Let us know how you get on. Hopefully the dealer is on it and you will get an answer that is good for you. They are not all bad but guess I get a fair share of horror stories from my customers hence my posts!
-
So it is back to pics of the damage.......get some up on here and lets look at it. Is the piston and cylinder bore clean? lack of compression will mean it isn't....lets see the damage and go from there.
-
Considering it is a "Spring 2021" saw, for such a fault, it should be refunded or replaced unless it can be proved the saw was run without oil in the fuel. Sounds like a seize or one of the bearings has failed and spat bits all over the place but can't be sure with no evidence.

I did hear of another local dealer...new carb on an MS200T.......£300.....really, I don't get it!!
-
Not being funny but if your new car packs up, you take it in to the local dealer and if it is a warranty fix, the local dealer...deals with it. If the saw packs up, if you take it to an appointed Husqvarna dealer then surely, they will deal with the warranty repair if it is proved to be a .....warranty repair. The issue is when the local dealer is one level above pond life who has trouble working his TV remote....I know they all can't be bad but some should wear tricorn hats, have two musket pistols and ride a black horse called "Bess"....just basing it on a local dealer trying to fit a new cylinder and carb on a MS200T with a loose exhaust owned by one of my customers desperate when I was on holiday......what can I say....it is fixed, basic engineering, two helicoils...all good
-
Probably "carbon damage" as I read on one customers warranty report. Needless to say, it was a load of sphericals!!!! What did they say about it??? Had a dismantled machine from one guy that was "beyond economical repair" and just reassembled it and it was fine
-
I didn't have it, he was adding it later so it tuned it close to max with no air filter in preparation. My personal opinion is hat they are significantly over priced for a lump of foam and some plastic.
