    Yes, then intake block is good which was surprising, I made a new intake block to cylinder gasket, and carb to intake block gasket, the other 2 gaskets were in the carb kit.

    A brand new 36” RS jumped ship and bent a driver/s, so Ima see if some vise therapy will straighten it out.

    Sometimes a bit more persuasion is need than just the vise. Never figured out how to twist a tooth back into line though.
    Silvey RS2 on the bench, repairing the Fragile Handling of the shipping concern that was used to send it to me. 1/2 dozen cables at shop none fit phone so pics have to wait.

    Well ain't this a bummer. I was all excited to see that the oem 372 p&c for the 365 was delivered until I opened the box and found a broken oil ring and the wristpin circlips missing. :mad:. I've messaged the seller so we'll see what they say.

    There’s worse places to find that broken.
    Good luck with the seller!

    The seller wants me to register the parts with Husqvarna and take it to a service center for warranty replacement. I told them that ain't happening so it's refund time.

    Nope, don't blame you. If it were me and those parts were hard to find or a real good deal, I'd use a set of Cabers and be done.

    I already thought about just ordering some cabers but at this point it's the principle. They're trying to make it my problem now. Not happening. They can eat the return shipping and ill order from someone else.

    Kid with the service around the corner brought me a 193T with snapped of brake handle and a 562XP that died in the cut and wouldn’t start.
    Wouldn’t start for me either.
    Checking for spark, found plug very loose.
    EZ fix!
    Pulled the plug before snugging it in, since it was finger tight anyway.

    The other side of the gap was gone

    Pulled a plug from mine. Gap is there.
    His plug is also way sooted up like it had been like that for a while.

    plug must of backed out enough where the hook was vibrating enough to suffer a high cycle fatigue failure

    hopefully that hook shot into the muffler.
    Compression seems a little low to me

    No scores on the piston but the crown is crown like.
    Didn’t hear any rattle in the muffler that would have been the gab on spark plug.
    It does have spark but won’t start. Not even a pop.
    Going to pull the jug, clean it out and hope for just a new piston as the fix.

    My handlebar weed eater harness broke, the piece of nylon gave out. A new one was way too much money so I fixed it with a piece of old serpentine belt and a nut and bolt. 0828211852_Film2.jpg

    Makes me want to check my spark plugs for tightness now.

    New kit on order. P&C

    Wow, I have seen plenty of loose spark plugs, never one missing an electrode though! That's some bad luck!

    electrode is still there. Ground strap broke off.
    When I got it, I should have counted, but it was about a half dozen threads in. Loose tooth.
    I guess the high frequency wobble fatigued the poor guy until he couldn’t hold on.
    Broke at the hinge
