I am getting ready to start another new chainsaw project and have a couple of questions, I plan to rebuild another Husqvarna Model 545, too funny. My last Model 550 turned out perfect, My project should arrive sometime this week and its an Autotune, the owner says it has a hot start problem but runs good just trouble restarting it when its hot. I don't know If I will need a cylinder until I obviously take it apart and look at the cylinder/ piston, and I'm hoping maybe its just an autotune carburator problem which I can do the diagnostics on, and obviously take it apart. So here is my Question - where can I find a reasonably priced cylinder for a Model 545, like are there any aftermarkets ? or good sources ? Some Husqvarna parts dealers are just too pricey, and won't sell just a new cylinder. Oh, also the owner thinks his hot restart problem might be the ignition coil, I sort of don't think so, but I have spare New autotune carburetors and New ignition coils, so that won't be a problem. Also If anyone thinks of anything else I should check then please let me Know, I will be taking it all apart like I did the Model 550 and try to figure out what caused the problem, and what are the real symptoms. Thanks for any help in advance.
