What The Hell?

[Agent Smith]

Hopefully that's the last time you encounter that. Seen that plenty on aftermarket jugs. Never on a Mahle till now

Not worth it.

$250 ish sounds cheaper than $395. Then you'd have one waiting for you next time.

Crazy Stuff Randy.

Considering the order of doing port work, I can feel your pain. I know that, at least for me, the transfers are the last step I do (and I learned from you).

That really sucks, goes way beyond tossing a jug away.

I didn't realize there was a problem till I started to install it. Where the plating was lifted, it was binding on the piston. So....I started looking closer.

Very sorry for the loss...

From the guy on the trigger end, THANK YOU for being thorough!!

It was your saw Ty.

New jug is on the way already.

No need for thanks. I just hate to see you wait longer. We all know how slow I am as it is. LOL

Was it manufactured in China or Germany? Local dealer went through a shipment and returned several.

I have no idea.

Keep in mind that this is a NIB 372XP OE.

Manufacturing data is 2018 or so.

Most XT models have had a jug made by Husqvarna in house until the last few years. Now most of the new jugs are made by Mahle, and are much better in quality.

This is the first Mahle jug I've ever seen that the plating was lifting on after port work.

I have seen a few 550, 562, and even 572 jugs that were a little flakey in a few small spots, but those have always been jugs that Husqvarna made themselves. Never have I had one that was this bad though. They were always just near the bottom edge, and easily fixed. This is something new to me.

That sucks. Good thing you found it when you did, hopefully it's a fluke.

Pfff that'll buff right out with some Pennzoil mixed 150:1 for extra low skirt drag









Sorry couldn't resist.

Had a little chip in my hyway cylinder above the exhaust. Just added a little extra bevel on it, worked fine.


How about some JB Weld?

Does it really cost $250 to re-plate a cylinder?

Looks like you may have to drop Husky's from your port work like used saws...
Loose screws and loose plating just no quality to work with

No worries.
Glad to know it’s in progress.

I'm a lucky man to have customers like you.

At the risk of getting a little too squishy...I believe I'm lucky your willing to do a little wrench turn'n and cylinder grind'n.
I like running the saws you've tiddled with. I like running them a lot!

Damn Hooskies!!!

It's pretty obvious during the plating process they got a fly in the ointment .Something got flubbed up .I have no idea what alloy they use weather it's hard nickle or chrome .I would assume the former these days .It's probably a one in 10,000 mistake .
