Husqvarna 572XPG Low On Power

[@TheVespap200e]

That secret fiddling is what makes a good mechanic a GREAT mechanic!😀👍

[@Chucky-b7v]

Oh my God, that carburettor is just a job on its own just to take it off! Great job, Scott.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Yes its a little involved.

[@steveriggenbach90]

Great job, thanks for talking about the colors of blockage. Like reading the tip of spark plugs.

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

@@TheGreasyShopRag Thanks for putting up the constant videos. I try to catch each one. Used the stand for the first time yesterday, handy as hell, especially the magnet.

[@brookesprecision6272]

I must be lucky, I have a 272 XP that I bought new back in I don’t even remember the late 80s or maybe the early 90s and it still runs like a bear, ofcourse I am a stickler with the maintenance so that probably helps

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Its not luck. Maintenance is everything and it sounds like you're doing a great job. Keep it up!

[@kevinmoyle6098]

Have kinda of the same problems. But the carb was clean. New fuel filter, new carb kit, and it still doing the same. Fire's up but won't rev up. Bearing seals in good shape. But will continue to search for leaks. Not liking the Auto tune to much.

[@rooster3019]

That is a crowded and tedious carb removal; looks like you have done quite a few of them. Great job!. With the screen full of "fines" I would guess the user had been running a dull chain.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

How would the fines get in the fuel tank? Or do you think they fall in when he opens the cap? This is one of those repairs where I'd like to see what the inside of his gas can looks like.

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

@@TheGreasyShopRagfell in when filling up wood be my guess. I carry a HF chip brush and clean around both caps before refilling with gas / oil

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@fabzacres-blackcat Thats good practice. Every so often I see a chip brush in customers saw cases.

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

@@TheGreasyShopRag You can also use an old toothbrush 🪥 to clean around the caps - only takes a minute and is cheap insurance. The Husqvarner caps are the cats ass but the STIHL flippy caps are an inferior design and the cam lock sometimes gives up the goose and your legs get a mix oil bath . I could never figure Why STIHL went away from the tried and true old school black threaded caps.

Looks like Saw Dust In The Micro Screen Maybe From When He Installed The New Aftermarket Fuel Filter Brother 😀😎😊

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Ya sometimes saving money actually costs you money.

[@tedneitzel]

Bit involved for that repair for sure! Good work!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Involved is a great word. Its not hard work but takes some time. Thanks for watching!

[@BGWenterprises]

Rarely seen. But there is also a blue plastic snap on part for covering part of the recoil air intake. I believe its only recommended for real big brass monkey cold temps, like south of 0F or even colder.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

The official word from Husqvarna is 23 degrees or colder or snowy conditions to keep snow out of carb area.

[@BGWenterprises]

@@TheGreasyShopRag For giggles i looked up what 23F is in Celsius. -5 That makes more sense then 23F LOL

I wonder how many people could tell the difference between a husky, stihl and echo? Some models are easy but a lot just blend in.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

After disconnecting and cleaning out an auto-tune carb, is there a procedure for it to "re-learn" the mixture(s) or does it just know from previous data and run ok? Not having the software I usually refer them to a dealer, fearing it wouldn't run right if I didn't re-program it.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

It doesn't forget and only needs to be flashed if you change a coil or in some cases a piston.

[@peterjiran7652]

Hi there! Thx for that one! How does that usually happen? Gonna put this bastard in work tomorrow and we have a rough job to do so it might occur with some dirt in there… nice video btw!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Maybe because it didn't have the finer micron blue fuel filter, or maybe fuel quality or water in fuel.

[@EricChmelarsky]

Wow, if it's that much of a pain to remove the carburetor, I'm getting a dozen blue fuel filters, change them out twice a year. First time I've seen a 5 series saw carburetor removed.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I think the owners manual states inspecting the fuel filter should be done monthly. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they should be replaced every 100 hours.

[@claytonlemieux4090]

Do all saw now come with auto tune such as a 14 inch

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

No. Many of the pro saws (or "5" series) have auto tune but not all. Eventually I suppose they all will be autotune.

[@Keto-Cheato]

Old boss has a husq. 37? I think. Starts n Runs till about lunchtime. Doesn't hit a lick afterwards. Any ideas?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Scored cylinder?

[@SPACEMIKEB]

If I don't have a new screen, is it okay to clean the old one and reuse it? Also, thanks for my new carb stand!

@@TheGreasyShopRag Thank you!

[@jeanrousseau1111]

You don’t put a blue fuel filter?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I left the original one on until I knew the rest of the saw was ok. I later put a blue one on at 18:24.

[@waynetharp]

Was it just me? Or did this saw still not seem to be running very strong? Almost like clutch is dragging or smashed chain rail? I really like your repeated basics for trouble shooting and am sure it always catchs 95% of the issues, but personally I like to make a couple cuts before sending a saw back out. Especially if I know the customer has to traveled any distance for a potential return.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

The saw was running fine. My audio had to be run through a noise reduction filter too many times to salvage what I had. I always run chainsaw repairs through a log afterwards. My employer allows me to hang a camera over the bench because it doesn't really cost him any time (wages). If I had to set up a tripod and stage a shot an all that monkey business then it would be eating up time while I'm on the clock. I'm happy to be able to capture the video I'm getting now. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share.

[@waynetharp]

@TheGreasyShopRag I just knew something didn't sound quite right...I see so many video shot with an IPhone that loud noises disrupt the audio and it takes them several seconds to recover once loud noise is shut off. Like if they start speaking to soon after shutoff...You can't hear a word they say. Good to know they are ran more off screen and thanks for making the videos!👍 Have a great weekend!
