    Warranty Question posted August 22, 2012 by Terry Musselman in Husqvarna: Ask & Answer > Chainsaws public
    Question:
    I have a 455 rancher, 14 months old, no compression. Local dealer tells me it is not covered, since it is fuel related.
    Details:

     I purchased a 455 rancher on june 13, 2011 , it worked fine until last weekend, it would not start.
      I checked the compression and had around 50psi.. I then contacted Husqvarna directly, and they put me in contact with the nearest local service center ( 40 miles away ) . My local guy closed the doors 2 weeks ago. 
      Today I took it in, and they called to tell me than Husqvarna  told him the problem is "fuel related" . I admit, I don't always use Husqvarna mixing oil, but I always mix with quality mixing oil, and always slightly strong on the oil side ( I was told this was a good idea, by my local dealer).   I use the same mixed gas in all my Husqvarna tools. What can I do about this problem.. I still think it is a warrant problem.
    Thanks for your help
