Evening all, will try make this explanation as simple as I can.
Worker of mine took his personal 462 to our local dealer, saw locked up as a piece of cooling fin from the cylinder fell down and broke a piece of cooling fin on flywheel, this somehow got behind flywheel and locked it up.
My idea was pull flywheel, remove the lodged bit of fin, refit flywheel and away you go.
Impatient employee took saw to dealer to get them to repair it, they have charged him for a new flywheel on the explanation that they are prone to exploding at high rpms after an impact?
I argued with the tech on the phone that the flywheel wasn’t subjected to an impact, on the damaged portion of the cooling fin was impacted and the flywheel ($180) didn’t need to be replaced.
just curious on everyone’s thoughts on how this has been handled?
Is it even possible for a piece of cylinder fin to get inside the starter cover and damage flywheel?
