Karla, how goes it..
Kevin.. open the cap.. look down into the cap you will see deep rectangle. stick a screwdriver into the deep rectangle. turn the screwdriver and take out the cap.. inspect the cap and look at the crankcase. I highly doubt the crankcase is jacked up.. cap could have been jacked up.. the gasket might be dry and causing you issues...
i put a cap on a saw here, cant remember which model, and i noticed that the center section of the cap was rubbing on the paint on the crankcase on the side of the threads on the crankcase.. once it "wore into" the plastic cap, it was no longer an issue.
do not be concerned with damaging anything by using the screwdriver, the screwdriver slot was designed specifically in case of issues like this, frozen gaskets, or broken cap flip mechanism.
let us know how it goes..
check this kit out.. NOTHING like what they advertise... I guess i should have stated that it needed to look like this one. It must have been prototype stuff from husky, not the actual stuff they sold.
where and what IPL is that documented on? i cannot find ANY IPL that documents that. not a single one.
thx for your help.. Ive looked at every IPL for the 268 and the 272 and it does not show it.
Have you replaced the fuel tank vent with a new fuel tank vent? they cause massive issues.. I am not fond of the design on most of huskies saws.. if you notice now, alot of the newer saws put the vents up in the air filter location.
Hi Karla :)
you have to be very careful when using a US cleaner.. You cant just mix stuff up and hope for the best.. an inproper mixture can destroy a carburetor... Ive been there, done that.. destroyed a 2100CD (HS163C) with improper solution.. Hard to swallow ruining a carburetor (it literally ate away at the casting in 2 minutes). Left aluminum dark gray in color, almost black..
I use Brulin 815 GD solution (i bought a gallon on amazon). I use it on all my carburetors per their instruction (10% solution and 90% distilled water). This cleans like no other and leaves the aluminum nice and bright.
Marshall contact me.. ill do what i can do to help.
Karla, how have you been?
you were not... your normal.. just DO NOT BUY A SAW FROM a big box store! those are NOT chainsaws.. those are toys...
a 365 is not a "pro saw" because husqvarna says it is not. Its really up to you if you care about the XP badge or not. You can take a 372xp topend and put it on a 365 and you have the exact same saw internally.
the older 365's did not have the chain adjustment in the clutch cover but the 365special did.. thats what made it "special".
you would save yourself money by getting a 365 "homeowner" saw or you can pay full price for 372xp. save yourself about 100-150.00
