Thank you very much for your opinions. They're always helpfull to learn new things!

This was used with bad quality 2 stroke oil for scooters. Maybe there are some impurities in it.

They move as smoothly as new. 2 stroke oils are available. I sell and use Husqvarna XP and Echo Power Blend, but most people use scooter 2 stroke oils or old chainsaw TOTAL JASO FB oils. I can't convince them to use expensive oils and here we have the results... Some tools like his Echo...

Bearings look like new. Bad quality oil is very common here in Argentina. Maybe 1/10 customers use JASO FC or FD oils...

So 2 of 2 say there's no way this saw have 2 hours run time or something similar. There's a very thin coat of something similar to carbon mixed with oil in crankcase walls...

Interesting opinion. The ring was totally free. I think poor compression is due to those scoring marks. It's not visible in pictures, but they're reaaly deep. Thank you!

Hey guys, today a costumer came to my workshop with a brand new Husqvarna 61 (they still make them here in South America). It had not compression. I have never seen a cylinder scored like this one is. No aluminum transfer, piston in good shape if compared to its cylinder, and only 2 hours of...

Bar and chain included.

Yes, but today I'm still having problems with strato saws...

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'll send him a PM.

Yes, I know, but strato saws and EPA are still a problem...

I'm not so sure about that. Echo keeps making old school 2 stroke engines with adjustable carburetors. That "strato" and electronic carburetors **** is too problematic and not necessary at all...

Could you explain this please? : "And they must be hot to really work right" I'm having lots of issues with strato saws in my shop when they're hot, but I they'll pass all kind of pressure and vacuum tests when cold...

Yeah, you're right, they won't blow that easy, but they're more problematic than old school 2 stroke engines. Husqvarnas are having lots of issues with warm and hot start, rough hot idle, etc. Some models are unfixable... IMO they're too far from being as reliable as old 2 stroke engines are...

I'm having the same issue with a 235 in my shop. A few days ago it would not idle. Today it runs like a charm... Pressure and vacuum tested the crankcase and every part, new gaskets, carb kit, lines, filters, tank vent, etc. They usually show erratic idle when hot. Maybe they have a cylinder...

Those kind of problems are very common within modern husqvarna saws, at least in the configuration Husqvarna sells in my country... Some of them have an accelerator pump with a tiny o-ring behind their throttle shaft and they develop an air leak. It's perfectly fixable overriding the system...

I'm going in that direction too. Some 235, 236 and 240 have air leaks in carburetors, specifically in their accelerator pumps, and this problem is perfectly fixable. The "unfixable" ones develop some kind of air leak in other parts when hot, or they just lose compression, or maybe that weird...

I'll be waiting for your results. Take in mind Husqvarna 235/236 and 240 have lots of problems like bad tank vents and vaporlock. They're ****...

You have to dissasemble the carb. It's behind the throtle shaft. There is a spring and a piston with an o-ring. To override that sh*t you have to put JB weld inside and then put the piston without o-ring. You must discard the spring too. But here comes the tricky part. With some acetate pump...
