Husky 570 problems

Ertreesurgeon · Sep 27, 2010

Hi there does anyone out there no y my saw is heating up to the point of catching on fire. Fuel lines look good. Chain lubricating and tensioned properly. The brake band does not seem to b rubbing. Although that where the fire started. There is rattling in the clutch area. Does that mean it's bad. Sounds funky when pulling the start cord. But starts up fine. I can feel the heat coming off the saw while I'm using it. Please help

I have a 570 that I have been using for about 4 years now with no problems. Bring it in to the dealer ASAP before you score your cylinder/piston. If that happens you can expect to pay about $300 to fix it. Have them check your compression when you bring it in. Hopefully it still starts easily for you or your compression might already be toast.

I found the problem. A broken worm drive for the oiler. It sits behind the clutch. Got a new one on the way. $15 can't beat that.

I've been running Huskies for almost 15 years now. The oil pumps seem to be their biggest downfall. I've replaced the pumps 2 and 3 times on some of the saws I've owned.
