-If you have another of the same saw start swapping parts one at a time, carb, coil, flywheel, ect until you find the culprit. -Could be the jet has a lil bit of persistent dirt or something just inside. Give carb a long soak in an ultrasonic cleaner with the flammable type parts cleaner...

I must agree with everyone so far the 572 & 565 are both great saws. They run extremely well stock & with a heavy muffler porting and cleaning up and smoothing the cylinder castings along with a cylinder gasket delete and a higher performance after market air filter they rip.

^^^ I’d have to agree if it’s not the chain it’s the gear on the bar tip. Clamp the bar in a vice with a square along side and leave a gap between the edge of the square and gear up by the nose. Gap it only big enough for like a credit card to fit between the gear tooth at the 3oclock...

. Ya I asked that few days ago….?!?

LoL maybe 🤔 I’m not laughing at ur comment but how we are all spit-balling this. Have you swapped out the chain yet? That’s were I’d start 1st to figure if it’s the one wonky chain or another more concerning mechanical issue.

My money is on a tight bunch of rivets or sloppy holes on the chain. A bearing, rim sprocket or nose sprocket will not give that much wiggle room, unless they are all bad and keep falling on their bad spots at the time as the chain passes......near impossible IMO One of the reason I keep my...

Sell them on amazon for 5 for $8.50ish They may not be OEM but they are cheap and you can store one of 2 inside the saw cover back by the filter. . .

Not too terrible for 1st time.... Pull the transfer covers off, there's a few ruff bits in there and it lets you get to the lower transition angles that you can see in your first pic.

Ok here’s the long explanation: I could not recommend any epoxy, as plastic fuel tanks and cans are a type of plastic that is particularly difficult to bond. Unless it’s been specifically chemically formulated to be used on High-Density Polyethylene. Most “plastic” epoxy will not bond great to...

Don’t know. If you have some sitting around test it out on the outside, really nothing to loose?!?

Any epoxy that is fuel safe, but a tank sealer epoxy is best...the kind you put in a tank that has a leak/hole and roll the tank around for full coverage.. Usually you can find the mixing ratio or figure it out via the oz/CC on the two part bottles. Id us a syringe for measuring as you will...

Super glue it shut clean off any excess glue when dry and then get the same plastic to drip seal/patch it. What this is, is basically lighting on fire the plastic and letting it drip onto the crack. Do not touch it to the tank while dripping or you will get strings of plastic or worse the...

Played with the new $74 shoebox size, amazon flux core welder. Very surprised at what it could do without any wire speed control. Straighten and welded/reinforced a buddy’s ATV plow that was starting to get to the point of stress fracturing at key attachment points. Should be good forever

Im planning on welding up a 36-40x72" ATV pulled wagon with FW tongue steering ( mini hay wagon at about 1000lb limit ) for picking up the limbed out tree tops. The lazy hunting club members leave probably a cord of wood all over the property....it all burns the same in the wood stove?!? Like...

....Not Today but over the weekend I spent the big North-East snow storm at the hunting cabin where we got about 17-18". I built a drag plow out of 2x8 & 2x6 and hooked it to the Jeep Cherokee wood hauler. Plowed 4x over Sunday and once Monday morning. Needless to say it worked but needed...
