hi I've got a t540 xp I'm working on for a friend that can start and then immediately dies on him. It's been to the local husky dealer twice and he's still got the same issue. Dealer says they have checked the auto tune with the computer and they say it is working as designed and has no issue. The only issue that they found is that the compression is low(85 psi). My friend is kind of fed up with the dealer and brought it to me to,see what I could find. I verified the low compression and did some searching here and the rest of the interwebs and it looks like a lot of the problems concerning the start and then dies issue is centered around the suction nipple being loose, suction hose cracking and the intake tearing. I've inspected the intake the nipple and the hose and they all look good.
I went ahead and took the cylinder off to look at the piston and cylinder since I was pretty much there with taking off the intake boot to look at the piston and cylinder condition and it looks like I can just replace the ring and scuff up the cylinder.
Along with the ring I've written up a list of parts to replace And am going to include the intake boot and suction hose fuel hose vent hose and gasket kit.
Is there anything else I should include or look for that would cause this saw to start and then die?
Thanks,
Jacklefty
