Talking about the intake troubles common to Husqvarna 51, 55, 345, 357xp and 359. We look at this as part of maintenance when they come in the shop. It's a quick easy repair and will keep you saw free from air leaks in the areas that are repaired. Many a dead saw can be attributed to such leaks.
Another soap box talk on why buying a bar and chain is a precise exercise and why I think it's important to just man up and learn how to figure it out correctly instead of playing the blame game.
Also, we talk about the bottom end issues with the 550xp/562xp Husqvarna models, Husqvarna's fixes and updates and the myth that somehow the diagnostic tool will diagnose mechanical issues and a simple carb reset or reflash will magically fix any physical damage to the machine. Don't get your hopes up, it won't.
