Question:
I have a Husqvarna 455 Rancher chain saw with a 20 inch bar and chain. I only use the saw to cut my own firewood. Recently I experienced a no start no run problem and took it in for maintenance. Two separate dealers found a scored cylinder wall but ... Both said the saw was extremely well maintained etc. Has anyone experienced this problem. Service dealer found that the design of the air filter permitted fine saw dust to enter the air intake around the base of the filter cover and most likely caused the scoring of the cylinder wall as it let in fine particulate matter. The saw was determined to not be economically repairable. I bought the saw at Sears Roebuck.
