In This Day And Age....

[Wolverine]

Mines put away for the winter, but I have been wondering if I would get a letter in the mail.

Read about the fix. Smells really fishy to me.

I will have to check into it. I just heard there was a recall, but that was about it.
In fact, the one I heard may have been a throttle/drive by wire deal.
Guess I will have to check my vin.

 

[Mastermind]

Just a guess here... to them it's a small enough % and just goes through the warranty replacement. Would you think a saw like that could have a normal life? I know it ain't right and all, just curious.

To recap.

Out of the last batch of brand new AT Huskys I did. Two needed new carbs before they would run.

Out of six 372s I just did, four had the intake boots folded under the carb.

Now, I have three more ATs on the bench, and this one is missing two out of eight transfer cover screws.

Now, rather than say.....well, it will run like that, maybe it's time for Husqvarna to admit that they are having a QC failure.

Stihl uses cameras for QC.
It makes a picture of that assembly rules and checks if it shows all screw heads.
At the end of the line they check the weight if something is missing.

The G model is probably still made in Sweden. Probably.....

The G model is NLA. Has been for a few years now.

Well that's just lame

The base on this same jug is .007" out of square with the bore.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Are we gonna list all the Stihl failures in here too, just curious?

Yep, it’s now a “holy grail” saw

When the gun crunch was on ten years ago because of the moonbat symphony that was being broadcast, I picked up a new mini 30. The gun dealer an old Marine and retired state trooper liked to check the chamber for clear before he handed it to you... he likes to open up the action and let that bolt slam shut. Well he takes that new Ruger out of the box, cycles the bolt and the proof round ejected and landed on the counter intact. In such a rush, they shipped it with a bullet in the chamber. One scope mount pedestal that little half moon relief wasn't machined clean enough to accept a mount, too. Too bad sucker was already mine.

No.
I hate to see ya in a negative place Randy. If there's anything I can do, I'd try..
If you were close enough, I'd offer desert.



After all, it’s just a chainsaw.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Well that was an easy Grail to find.lol

Yep, it’s now a “holy grail” saw

 

[Terry Syd]

Just think of all the time the engineers put into designing a saw, then testing the design, building the forms and special tools for machining.

Then they give it to nitwit to put it together...

Go for it. If it walks like a duck......

The whole Stihl VS Husky thing is lame as a mfer to me. Just because I see this stuff and share it, I'm the bad guy? WTF??????

Trust me here, if I start pulling Stihls apart and seeing this sort of stuff, I'll be here *b-wording about that too.

 

[Mastermind]

No.

Long as we are keeping it fair boss, seems they dropped the ball for sure

So I'm a motorcycle mechanic by day. I feel your pain. I absolutely hate a specific brand. When they come in, I get in the funk like no other. BUT, it's my job to work on motorcycles. Don't like it, well you know the saying.

Maybe your time with saws is nearing its end? I spent 26 years in printing and was extremely burnt out in the end. I knew it and moved on. Hell cut them out of your diet if they ain't workin' for ya. You're your own boss, you make the rules.
