Husqvarna 572XP Chainsaw Won't Start 

I have a Rancher 450 giving me issues.. from your videos I started the teardown inspection and lo and behold, a scored cylinder.. loaned it to a neighbor.. you know how that goes. Bought a replacement and will be giving the saw the rebuild today... mostly thanks to your videos, I know what to look for and have the confidence to make the repairs. Thanks Scott!

Spot on diagnosis Scott! I love that your vids are so concise. You do really good work brother!

I'm jealous of how tidy your workbench is when you work. I can't for the life of me keep my work area neat without tools everywhere in my way.

Top notch diagnostics! Keep up the excellent work

Another awesome video man. One can never have too much knowledge. Got your stickers, posted them on my toolbox and pickup.

Yep I knew instantly when you said screen had a substance in it. Plastic! Don't know if it makes a difference but I run my newer Huskies at 40:1. The cage deal makes me nervous for sure. Last I checked my 550mk2 it had 70hrs in it so my guess is at least 100 now with no issues. 562 still has 2 years warranty left so good there! Good stuff see ya next time!

It's a great thing that husqvarna makes short blocks for the 5 series xp saws

Great video Scott. Always learning from your videos and you definitely do a great job. Seen Chris from In The Woodyard stoped by, which in his last video that he was in the store, he mentioned your channel. Been subscribed and watched nearly every video you have made since then. Keep the great videos coming. 👍🏻👍🏻

What happens in a situation like this? Take pictures and document then send to Husqvarna for a warranty claim? Wait weeks to hear back then get parts and rebuild? Husqvarna approves new parts over the phone and sends them?Husqvarna approves a replacement saw? I just tinker with saws and so I am just curious.

Nice diagnosis. What would cause that? Just dirt getting in there, like you said?

Love your vids bro!

Morning Brother Did Not Think Husqvarna Would Use a Plastic Cage on a Crank Bearing Considering The Heat Of an Internal Combustion Engine Generates 😩😮😮‍💨 Nice Find Now I Know Something New

Husqvarnas Achilles heel, their junk plastic caged bearings. That's practically a new saw it's utterly ridiculous. People would have to be mad to buy a 5 series saw. 👍

i wish i didnt see this, i'm worried now lol...thumbs up !!

That looked like a pretty low hour unit. I don't remember having issues with the sealed bearing on the 390xp? I have heard that there was a bad batch of bearings from SKF, but that was a while ago.

Will or did the post repair computer scan reveal the saw had been running way lean? I guess the bearing cage could have been defective, but if it failed due to heat, then at least replace both bearings and seals since both were exposed to the heat. When you pulled it over at the beginning I almost got it right, I thought the screen was carbon clogged. Like others, I lament the plastic bearing cages, but I think that is the common thing theses days.

Will the bearing be replaced with the same “plastic cage type” bearing?

Hey, Scott! I would think that bearing failed due to an overheat condition. Did you find any evidence to support this theory? Otherwise I would imagine it’s just the idiocy of using plastic instead of metal for a bearing cage, right?

And one more comment for the algorithm 😉🙃

Thanks for sharing Scott, disappointed by the 572xp. I bought one last month. Is there an aftermarket replacement bearing that isn't plastic?

Scott, do you think he tightened the crap out of the chain, cocking the crankshaft, wearing out the flywheel side bearing?

Well then...I wonder if this ended up being a warranty claim or not.

Do you find there is one prominent side to the bearings going bad?

Those 572xp 550xp 562xp has a lot of issues with bottom end like that!!!

So what other damage did it do to the saw. After eating all that ?

SCOTT I CANT FIND THAT FUNNEL ONLINE CAN U PLS HELP ME MAYBE EMAIL ME A LINK??? ya first pull I was like "somethings off " then u said it lol I like your video neighbor and thanks SO MUCH once more for that super kind email you sent me. LATER😁
