[Officer's Match]

She was mad about having a Stihl pull start handle grafted onto her and did it as an act of pure rebellion. Notice it occur near the offense. :msp_sneaky:

 

[tree monkey]

yea see it all the time
stick right on, gotta pry it off
after a few times and the clips wont hold it tight anymore
then a little duct tape is in order
i have no idea how it happens, and not every saw does it

nope you wouldn't. they'll melt down to something you cant fix. and fastotstir:
seen this a few times. a bit of grease around the tab will stop it.
ever wonder why when you buy a new echo and it has a bunch of grease around the covers? same reason.

 

[Rudolf73]

no need to open that cover anyways, just make sure the chain runs - no maintenance required... :msp_wink:

you may be trying to be funny, but this is exactly what about 75% of the owners do. why maintain when you can just fix later:msp_sleep:

hey rudi that was just 11/2 hours run time i cleaned it just after the last time i used it

 

[wsg]

I've got a 390 that did somthing very similar. I'll have to try the grease I guess.

Yeah I find that really strange, you would think husky had come across that before and found a fix for it. I will keep an eye on mine now also.

 

[cmsmoke]

Maybe something in your fuel mixture being spit out of the filter and reacting with the plastic?

 

[Whitespider]

I ain't no expert; but it almost has to be heat generated from friction... friction from vibration... and the wrong plastic formulation for the application. My thinkin' is that Husky needs to be using a better grade of plastic in that application... or re-design the cover to work with the existing plastic. Either way... that's a serious design error that needs to be corrected.
