2 Series Husqvarna top cover thread repair

Yep. A timesert in a epoxy is a great solution. I prefer those type of inserts better than helicoils.

Damn timeserts are pricey though.

Generic on ebay are cheaper.

Agreed. I needed some this winter for a fee STIHL 020 saws.

Husqvarna makes brass inserts in two sizes, spendy though.

Those epoxies are good for 3-450° F.

Here's a link to the product. Have used this stuff for years and seeing as they have other products now, thought it would be relevant. Surely there is a vast amount out there in the world of epoxy's, I would bet that there is an industrial epoxy out there even better than this stuff but this should at least be the minimum standard of what to look for. I would think an epoxy with aluminum particles in it would be excellent as well. Might be when your mixing it up some aluminum shavings happen to fall in and get mixed up might not be a bad thing either? The main point is an epoxy should be chose that can be worked afterword. Shoe Goo just ain't going to cut it, nor will regular every day epoxy from the hardware. I believe JB Weld does make a marine grade epoxy, this will work too.

Here is a couple links to the Husqvarna inserts, you can see the part numbers and get from your dealer if desired. These will work in Plastic as well.

Lots of ways to skin a cat...

Yes, very affordable "Heli Coil" style sets can be found on E-Bay. Think the one I ordered actually came all the way from England, and was less expensive than the ones here in the States.

This by no means is the end all to thread repairs, think of it as another tool in the tool box. The best would be to tear it down and have it welded and a new hole tapped, not always practical though.

England has some great tools I have a few from there as well
