    You also found water. If you didnt bother checking he would have got it back and it would have ran poorly then he would have brought it back, thrown it out, or took to someone else. You have to take a half hour regardless of findings in order to be thorough.

    First off, never believe what the customer tells you. Second, give the starter rope one pull just to see what happens. Third, similar situation happened to me. Friend brings me a saw he cannot start, says engine may be locked up. The chain was not on the sprocket, was wedged between the sprocket and washer.

    Regardless of what I think the problem is, I always remove the bar and chain first just because they are cumbersome and in the way. In this case, doing that alone would have revealed that the drive tangs were not in the rim sprocket.

    • @TheGreasyShopRag
      @TheGreasyShopRag  2 місяці тому

      I've been giving that some thought. Even if they don't request chain sharpening, I sometimes have to sharpen it just to load test the saw in wood. BUT, if I remove the bar, look in the tank then look in the cylinder and find it scored, I'll just have to put the bar back on. I don't think there is one diagnostic procedure that will be efficient for all situations.

    As an auto tech who “reads work orders” every day, there are two problems that exist here. First, the chain was put on wrong because the owner was “in a hurry”. They don’t get put on wrong if time is taken to check the operation. The saw basically got shoveled out of the customers vehicle as fast as possible and he ran away without a complete explanation of what he was experiencing because he was apparently “in a hurry” again. 2 strikes against the customer that are evident by the actions he took in the bad install of the chain and giving very little backstory. That’s the first problem.
    Second problem is the almost non-existent information obtained by the employee who received the saw. IF the customer seemed like they were in a hurry, and the intake employee seemed to think so, NO work should have occurred as NO R.O. should have even been generated until further communication could be had with the customer to obtain a complete story as to why the saw was there.
    YOU, as the technician, have no responsibility to do anything but investigate what is described. How can you? The old saying “when you hear hoofbeats, don’t think Zebra” applies here. Your diagnostic process has to start somewhere, and in a potential fuel delivery issue on a small engine, especially saws which are NOTORIOUS for sitting for extended periods of time, my eyeballs are in the tank first. Because you DID see something abnormal, the next logical place to look is the carb, and for how many running issues on saws caused by the carb, that’s next. If you are going to doubt every R.O. that you see and look for other things before getting to the process, it’s an eventual waste of time. Would trying to start it first help in this instance? Doubtful. What was in the bottom of the tank would’ve gotten sucked up first and it might not have started anyway. When you have a process and it works 98% of the time, don’t change it for the 2%. EVERYBODY gets burned from time to time, and it’s almost ALWAYS from a lack of solid communication.

      You've summed it up quite well. I think after talking with coworkers that work the front counter, they've become a bit lax with my work orders. I have a good track record for repairs and I think they just assume I'll figure it out.
      Sometimes its a delicate balance between being a hometown repair shop and a dealership. In the end we need to make the customer happy so they will return.

    @rooster3019 2 місяці тому

    I like your way. You had a red herring service report, and the computer was no great help. Check the fuel first and that gave you info you had to have, "clutch" or nor. Checking the cylinder via plug hole is no controversy, Dirty water/gas means micro screen has to be checked, either way. Now, the chain hanging out on the edge of the cog happens on occasion with that design; you put it in the grooves, but it slips out if the bar wiggles as you place the cover. Happened to me the first time I chained mine. If he gunned it too much with that condition, the clutch may be worn.

      ​@@TheGreasyShopRag Is the 465 running a .325 pitch chain? Or is it 3/8 inch pitch. I've found adding for example a slightly longer 18 inch Oregon bar on my Husq 550, all sorts of things happen with how chain sits on sprocket with those smaller saws (like you change 20, 24, 28 inch bar and chain with larger model saws and 3/8 inch chain, none of this). I'm new to the .325 inch pitch equipment, and I find that chain, clutch, sprocket and side plate deal all a bit questionable). And even more frustrating, I run a fifteen inch bar and chain in .325 inch and rarely get as much issue. Now one can have problems with chains tensioned too tight in the 50cc saw, with those narrow kerf chains in the .325 pitch, and I pay way more attention to chain tension in smaller power saws than with saws with bigger engine. I just question what's happening with .325 inch smaller chains around that entire clutch area. Yeah, these smaller saws could be in great condition and still it's easy I think to run the small saws with even too much chain tension, and do something to the clutch and sprocket area of 'em. I know the 435 and 550, not the 465. And I know 365 saws very well. I've studied the 562 a good deal, the 465 tool I'd have to look up. Haven't seen what kind of bar and chain it ships out with stock. The whole side plate area with smaller Husq tools, I could anticipate things going wrong. It's too easy to run them without chain being seated right. Something it's harder to do with larger saws.

      ​@@TheGreasyShopRagCheck that out, someone else mentioned the 465 is a Rancher model (I have picked up that saw and placed it back down on shelf in dealer occassionally). The reason? To pick up the saw, was I think it's one of those models that runs both, 3/8 inch chain 'and' .325 inch (so if you want a narrower cut into timber sawn for whatever reason, you still have option to put .325 bar and chain on it). The reason I never actually bought a Rancher was weight. Yes the saw can run .325 chain, and has plenty power as a tool. However the Rancher also weighs as much as a 365 saw, and I already run those saws. That's how I ended up with the 550 Husq instead, a powerful tool and purpose made for .325 chain. Here's the thing though, I've also changed opinion on this. The 550 is lighter, and I wanted to have option of a good light saw at times. But listen to Donny Walker on the 550 and even 562, these are saws that because they don't have as much power as sometimes needed, guys force the saws to try and do the work they're trying to do (as human beings we like having it both ways, comfort, convenience and no compromise on lack of power). What happens? Various things on these smaller saws are forced into destruction by their users a lot more, than with the larger heavier tools. Guys might be running dull chain etc. And if the saw accepts two pitch spec's as some Rancher models do, even new tools can get forced to do jobs they're not able for. It would be very easy to over-push a 550. Too easy in fact. And even worse where chain, bar is too tight (with small saws sometimes bar heats up, expands and tightens chain, on larger saws the chain heats up abd gets loose). So I'm having to learn all of this stuff about the smaller tool which doesn't happen on the heavier equipment.

      @@academicmailbox7798 The 465 uses a large mount bar and I'm pretty sure those only come in 3/8. The 455 and 460 use a small mount 3/8. This 465 is what the 455 and 460 should be in my opinion.

    It seems like I'm in the minority here, but I believe the customer and the work order wasn't written correct (why the customer thought he/she/it needed a new clutch because the chain wasn't installed correctly is for another discussion). It seems the majority of your repair videos are associated with carburetor/fuel issues and you found water in the fuel and an incorrect fuel filter, I believe you did the right procedure to internally inspect the carburetor. And to add to your bad luck, the Husqvarna error codes sent you on a wild goose chase. Don't beat yourself up on this one for the ages.
    My biggest takeaway on this repair was learning the 465 was an autotune saw, go figure.
