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

I am talking about Boonville NY. The name doesn't ring a bell.

I had good luck with my 575 too

I didn't have good luck with my 575 I thought it didn't have much more power than a 372 and was heavier. The 576A/T was by far a better saw. I ran it for 6 months trouble free before I had the carb problem.

Ya gotta run the ethanol treatment every can of gas from day one, or you will have carb issues. I see lots of new saws hitting a wall at around 8-10 months lately. I run the startron in all my gas engines now, except the car.

How much startron to a gallon of gas do you use

 

[tramp bushler]

I don't think we have ethanol in our gas up here . What is Startron ?

 

[stmonnat]

Your lucky ethanol is bull---- startron is additive to keep out water

The startron I buy at the saw shop is an ethanol treatment as well as water, though the ethanol itself is basically dry gas. The startron or stabil blue bind with the ethanol and make it non-reactive to rubber and aluminum.

Damn Mingo, if you use it... then it's all on Husky.

Old timer how much startron to a gallon of gas do you use

I use maybe 1/6 a bottle to 5 gallons, but the container says it treats like 45 gallons...the size in Mingo's picture.

 

[stmonnat]

I have regular gas now here locally that is 91 octane I will be trying that it's 5 dollars a gallon

Damn Mingo, if you use it... then it's all on Husky.

That's what I'm thinking.

We're sending all our pulp there also. Where do you sell logs?

All over, depends alot on the job and the wood. Mostly to local buyers unless there is alot then we sort and export.

Called the service manager about the 576A/T he told me they did not have the diagnostic software to test the saw it costs $400 and this was the first autotune they worked on. Told me he would have the mechanic call me when he got back from lunch. Got the call around 3pm, and the mechanic told me he called husky and they said it was a new style carb they had replaced the old one with, and it might not be compatible with the coil. They are sending a new coil and should have the saw ready in a couple of days. This was one of the things I was apprehensive about when I bought the saw.

Lord, Mingo, your saw shop sounds sorta third world...
