[stmonnat]

For some reason I have not heard of any problems until just recently I wonder if there doing something with the s carbs lately

I think zama is getting cheaper, new carbs dealer cost are 30 dollars and 72 for the autotune!!!!

 

[stmonnat]

Is zama all they have ever put on them because mine looks different from the one mingo had pictured I will take a picture of mine and have it on here tommorow

YEP, zama on all 575-576 saws from the start, just different versions of the carb is what matters

 

[funky sawman]

It seems like when stihl bought Zama out, the carbs that husqvarna get from zama now are TOTAL CHINEESE CRAP, I mean total garabage crap worthless no good piles of dog poop

 

[stmonnat]

I had good luck with my 575 too

When did stihl buy out zama

 

[funky sawman]

I had a 576AT at the first of last year that was a 2010 model and it ran AWESOME, I shouldn't have sold that saw

 

[stmonnat]

You have many hours on it

 

[funky sawman]

You have many hours on it

Which one???

 

[stmonnat]

Your 2010 that you sold why did you sell it

Got a hint over 300 hrs on it not a problem. Sold it cause it was breakup and my second job at the shop was slow-- Had to pay bills ARGGGG

For a saw to be a pro saw it needs to be able to cut over 400 cord wirh no problems . 100 cord is just getting broke in .. My first 371 had cut around 80,000 $ worth of pre commercial tree thinning andtinber falling before it started acting up .

My current 372 W has cut around 30,000$ worth of firewood . No problems still strong as an ox . And sime of that was in temps colder than 30 below. Tenps down to colder than 40 below . . My 460 Stihls are as good .

My moto . If it aint broke , Don't fix it .

What is really irritating me right now is the fact that husqvarna is not having a problem with there saw its the damn carb that they are basically getting from stihl I would say its time to get a different supplier husqvarna will always be number one in my book

Went to Boonville with the intentions of buying a 576 and got talked into a 576At. Well I put it to work today. It has a 24" Husky Oregon bar which I am not a big fan of and Oregon jg chain. I have to say it's the smoothest saw I have ever run. Put 2 gallons of gas through it cutting 12-24 inch dbh hardwood mostly ash,beech, cherry, hard and soft maple and a little poplar. The saw has a wider power band than the 372 I was running, and doesn't lean out when the gas tank is getting low. When I got it home pulled the top cover the air cleaner was clean looked Like I had never used the saw. I'll post every couple of weeks to give a heads up on how it's doing.

Are you talking about Boonville in upstate NY? If so, have you ever heard of a guy named Dan Humphrey?

 

[tramp bushler]

. It don't matter if its nothing but a screw or small spring . If it stops the saw from working then its gotta go .:msp_ohmy:

It used to be with Huskies u could swap carbs .

I wonder where the carbs for the 390 comes from .

 

[stmonnat]

Wj-116 on the 390 I would assume walboro

 

[stmonnat]

this is the carb on my 09 autotune

 

[stmonnat]

I really hope I have a good one because I love the saw so far so good but if a problem ends up turning up oh well I guess it will be 390 time
