Need Husqvarna 576 help

[CoreyB]

Well the spark test I have has 10, 20, 30 and 40, for the measurement but I think it is manufacture specific as 30 is almost an inch and 20 is a little over 1/4 in. I tested on another saw and it would run at 20. the 576 would not make the jump. it did spark at 10. I am becoming more suspect of ignition side. But jury is still out. and need to get a good pressure vac test.

Ok problem found. And this seems messed up. The two bolts the hold the stator in sheered off. So in short it needs a fly wheel , stator, and other small parts normal wear parts.
My biggest concern is getting the bolts out of the case. Plus parts alone are like $260.00 labor can quickly become an issue if the bolts don't come out easy.

I've had that problem on a few; just buy a mechanical carb and you'll have a non-AT 576.

Soo it doesn't need a stator. If we go with a non at carb?

nope

i think you will also need to change the coil right?

 

[awol]

No, unlike the other AT saws these use the stator for current generation, and the coil makes spark on its own. As long as you use the original flywheel, the original coil will work.

Huh, I've got a 576 A/T demo that has 40+ tanks thru it...and it's gutless. Bringing it back to the dealer next week for him to check it out

Hmm shouldn't be gutless. It is a smooth saw and not as angry as others so many times leaves a guy feeling less then impressed.

You know what @CoreyB you very well may be right. The antivibe is lovely and it truly starts very well hot or cold. It honestly felt overworked with a 28" bar on it but felt right at home with a 24.

The guys that I sell them to use them for walnut mostly and always a 24" bar. They only use 28" on their 395's
To add a bit more perspective Their 372's usually wear a 20-24" bar .

Our business cuts everything, so I need a well rounded saw that can run up to a 32" bar in all kinds of wood. One week we are taking 3' diameter oaks, then the next we are in a white pine grove.
