Ahh yes that's what i used to call it. Then i lived in south Georgia for 6 years. Now it's "all galled up!" It seams like a bit of play in the crank/rod bearing. Since i can't seem to get the piston off the rod i think ill take it in and have the shop hone the cylinder and check everything...

Hope this is the right pic. I took a lot today. The piston has a piece broken off the side. It almost looks like it came from the crank? Its all bent and ripped apart. Then one half of the cylinder wall seams to have stuff on it as opposed to being galled up

09 1800237. I thought it was good oil too but i guess it doesn't have some kind of rating

Yes you're right i was trying to make my answers short since i am using my phone and it's. A pita. The other 2 contributing factors were it ran lean and i used stihl oil. I didn't do anything else but run it for several hours like that. I was 4 hours from home and forgot my carb...

Thanks for the info guys it was bad old gas. I have only put about 10-12 tanks through it so i didn't use it much kept getting hot and then when it cooled it would restart but then it just shut off. I want to look into a non limiting coil since apparently it's harder to tune the blues.

So i just got around to removing my muffler and wouldn't you know it you can see the piston in at least 2 peices! So besides the obvious replacement of at least the piston what else should i do while i got this thing tore apart?? Can you port these double strat engines effectively? Is there a...

Its blue, that means its limited, right??

Heres the pics: Taller then both my kids wife thought this was a funny picture.

The coil is blue that means its limited right??? Got my Christmas tree this afternoon. Just had to cut with it! It was like using an angle grinder to brush your teeth.

Good news mine came with a .050 bar and chain.

Like I stated they were out of 372's or i would have just bought that one. The comparison I noticed was the 372 was more expensive, less CC's, did weigh a lb less, and is only recommended for a 28" bar as opposed to a 576's 32. Also the guy said the 576 had a bigger air cleaner then the...

I will check on the coil for you MMFaller (im intersted too)

Thats sweet. My last saw was a 97' 45 model lasted me about 10 years then I sold it thinking I was gonna buy a bigger saw... finally about 2 years later I got it. I was gonna do a 372, or even smaller if they had one, but this and a 395 where the only 2 high end saws the dealer had left. I am...

Mike what bar do you run and what is the biggest thing you have cut with it?

I run Stihl 50:1 with 93 in all my other stuff, I got it in 2 separate jugs so I could add a splash of oil to one of them to richen it up. And I upgraded from a 20 to a 28:cheers:

I just picked up a new saw today (576XP) and I want this thing to last so I was wondering what I need to do to break it in (and things not to do of course) Of course I will let it warm up before I romp on it and idle down before I shut it off but other then that I am lost.

on the cape

You don,t owe them anything... they basically tried to kill you:(

Here are the photos, they are extremely crappy pics though. The tree is in Massachusetts guys I will ask if they put down mulch this year, maybe they put it on too deep.

my mom says that at the time they sprayed it had buds on it and apparently some catapillers from some kinda moths, and then in June is when she noticed that it still hadnt leaved out (she was down here with us) Called them up and they came by and looked at it said oh there is still catapillers...
