Hell, it couldn't breath man!

So far...something broke lose below and got as far as the exhaust port. Judging by the gouging on both the piston and cyl wall there, bearing cage fragments. I'll upload the bore scope pics later. Need to make pressure test plates for this carb and exhaust first and do v/p test before pulling the cyl.
Either way, gonna need a complete rebuild.

The bag was for shipping…dummy…

Tell them to use a bigger bag next time. That one did not cover the saw. It probably got cold in the truck.

It is really tight fitting in the carb box, hopefully you have small fingers. I felt like I was operating on the one I had, needed to use several sets of forceps to get in there!!

With special air filter ...what is muffler mode or that fancy pipe ?

Similar to the 455s but flip flopped. Carb came out easily enough. Figuring out how to unhool all the heating wires was interesting.


Gonna take a while to clean this thing

Need to make plates up to test for air leaks

Curious what you find. Looks like she’s been rode for awhile

Still has hash marks in the cyl so not too hard . I think Nate said 3yrs old, something like that. Used as a backup saw.

What is the fuel like in there, standard mix or funky?

40:1 Red Armor, same as what I use.

Well, looks like Nate just plum wore this thing out
Current theory is clutch side bearing failure cascading to blow a seal and…won’t know what else till I get it all apart.
Compared pics from Kevin from the original build with what’s there now. Uh, a bunch of bearing *s-word isn’t kind to the inside of a nice cylinder. What’s there now ain’t what left Kevin’s shop . I think Nate got his money’s worth after 4yrs of hard, commercial use. Id also blame Husqvarna for a poor design but they probably didn’t factor this saw wearing a 32” bar for 4 yrs.

4 years of real world wear and tear on a 5 series is pretty damn good.

Is this like in Tommy Boy where we can stick our head up a steer’s ass to get a good look at a T-bone or we can just take the butcher’s word for it?

Is this a Tommy Boy saw?

Make with the carnage pics, mang.

From the pics I’ve seen, it looks like it had an air leak under the base probably from the muffler lifting on the front of the cylinder.

 

[Woodwackr]

I think I'll stick to the 2 and 3 series....

I’ll say it again. Put it all in a box and send it back to me

Always the best course of action.
