If it's hitting, even barely you would have to force it past hitting and must have loose bearings to start with. He has built saws before and used a base gasket, he would have known it was hitting. Just a case of bad parts.It will crank if it is barely hitting, but it will destroy things. Much like described.
FixedJust another case of bad parts.
Which Rim sprockets you having luck with?Don't think OEM's these days are'NTT scared of using China parts. Gone are the days you would only find German/Japanese bearings and Walbro fuels systems, I was quite shocked at the China parts I've found on new 'Pro' OEM equipment from Stihl, & I ain't talking about the Zamma carb. Husky may be better, I know Solo, Echo and Dolmar certainly are. But there are China parts & 'China parts'. There are many factors that determine good or poor quality with China, they are capable of both. Generally I only buy new OEM equipment. But I've fixed a few things with chinsy parts, I only buy China rim sprockets now 20 at a time which some have been the best I've used.
I get it. Only damn fools ever have an issue once they have worked on something. Smart people never have post repair issuesYou missed my point. Totally...
If it were barely hitting before, when the compression release were pressed in , the piston would hit the valve pushing it closed in 1 revolution as I have previously stated. Compression would also be off the charts. Turning the engine over clearly would have a pause spot in rotation that would be felt pulling the rope, even with the release valve open.It will crank if it is barely hitting, but it will destroy things. Much like described.

I've never worked on a husqvarna in my life. I would prefer old Stihls but they are impossible to find around here. I've had ads on FB and Craigslist for 2 years. eBay prices for saws are insane. I sold 6 on eBay this year with one customer telling me he will buy every one I build (he took 3 at one time) but the fees are impossible. The 044 fees ran $63 a saw and the 066 fees were around $85. They charge fees on shipping too. dThere’s a few posts on you tube with seized Chinese saws they built from these kits it appears to me they ran the saw too lean on oil. Some of these saws are marked 25:1 ratio? I say it’s oil lean or an air leak.
I been eyeing these kit saws but chose to buy older huskys and go that route rebuilding them. Just for fun.
I never worked on or owned an 038 before a month ago, but have one I just purchased to rebuild. Parts I ordered just came in. Heavy but seems like a tough saw. The muffler was welded together and wired to the cylinder because it was missing screws. The flywheel cover bolts had been drilled out and tapped to 1/4" coarse thread and had washers on the top of the cover to hold it on where the corners were broken off, but it had a new bar and chain and ran. $75. I figured any running stihl was worth $75It’s a great way to go on a couple of them if you’re new to this. After I built mine it was much easier to get into the 038 magnums and supers that are around here .
Well that looks normal!Hutzl service contacted me and told me I had to send a video before they would consider replacing the crank assembly. Here it is folks. Still waiting on other parts.

Yeah, they definitely owe you. Good luck with that! That sucks, but you can tell already that their customer service is bleak at best.Hutzl service contacted me and told me I had to send a video before they would consider replacing the crank assembly. Here it is folks. Still waiting on other parts.

I hope they take care of it for you. They tend to take their time and make you jump through hoops hoping you will give up. It aggravating but keep after them. I had a leaking fuel cap, they wanted me to put sealant on it. I told them to send me some and I would. Then they ask for pictures of it. Then they wanted a video of it. I did all that and they said it wasn't my cap, it was the fuel tank. I said ok, send me a new tank handle then. They sent me a fuel cap instead. I sent them a photo of the decomp that blew apart, they sent a new one that looked much better, had the small holes. I haven't tried it, I'm still afraid of it. Good luck to you.Hutzl service contacted me and told me I had to send a video before they would consider replacing the crank assembly. Here it is folks. Still waiting on other parts.
