550xp is the saw. Both sides of gasket look to have Dirko, 3bond or something, grey semi flexible. I've never had to pull a cylinder with that on. How in the hell do you do it? I can't get it to budge.

That goo isn't from the factory. Take a block of wood or plastic hammer handle etc and tap the side of the cylinder to pop the seal. Why ya pulling the jug?

It had warranty work done at a dealer for scored piston at one time in its life but looks like the problem never got fixed. So now I have an adventure. It seems to have carb/auto tune problems. No dealer near me with software.

Run the piston up near tdc insert soft rope into plug hole then rotate the crank. Should pop it up. Ken

Dealer problem here & all saws will be auto tune before long.

Auto tune not the problem, air leak somewhere, check the transfer covers first.

Oh it's a dealer problem alright. But the dealer didn't cause it, he just didn't fix it. I'm my opinion this problem should never have occurred.

Because it's an AutoTune saw?

Well, pulled the transfer covers and found tears in them so now to remedy that problem.
Has anyone tried to seal up the transfers when the rubber is bad. Like cut a gasket, use 518, Hondabond, use soldering iron to melt tear back together then use sealant? Thought it's worth trying at least to learn.
