371 xp The **** happened???

[066blaster]

I had been hearing a little clanking around when the saw was tilted a certain way. Then a poof and shes tight. looks like a screw is jammed in there.

 

[Westboastfaller]

That's always a good thing.

Don't be surprised if the flywheel key sheared when she locked down.

Air horn screw or...?

 

[066blaster]

I can't get it to fire, and it has a bad vibration to it when i pull it over. Some of the fins got busted off, not sure if that is the vibration.

Or carb plate. I bet air jet also.

You need a new flywheel, air conductor, air jet and maybe coil. Show us more pictures.

Is the flywheel key shorn off and the flywheel now loose on the shaft- unbalanced and out of timing.

 

[MacAttack]

Ouch... hopefully the crank is ok

 

[Westboastfaller]

usually they come out off the coil. I haven't ever broke fins by jamming it though, Never concerned about a flywheel key. They are held mostly by press.

That Husky model may have the one anti-vibe behind the cover. Looks like that kind of screw.

Pretty sure that’s it, looks exactly like it. They have poor clearance at least on the 372 that I have. Loctite goes a long ways for this one screw on husky saws.
The vibration is probably the flywheel unbalanced now.. as you already mentioned

I bought a new flywheel and coil. I haven't got around to fixing it yet...What is the "air horn"?

I got a really low hour 3120 in a box that stopped like that.A screw jambed between the flywheel and coil.Broke the coil and flywheel .
The PO took it apart violently after it seized and disgusted with it threw it in a box.

It’s the plastic piece that directs air from the flywheel. It’s horn-shaped and held on with a small plastic tit and the aforementioned allen screw.
