Air Filter - Felt 503818004

Actually this was the second time into this repair. I had purchased an \"aftermarket\" ignition previously, big mistake. Another lesson learned, ALWAYS USE PROPER REPAIR PARTS. It will save a lot of time and make your repair jobs go much smoother. FYI - The saw is a Husqvarna 372, 24\" Bar

I simply removed cover that holds t ... Read more he pull rope and gained access to the ignition area. Tightening down the new ignition while maintaining a gap between the ignition and the \"flywheel\", using a business card.
I used the vice grips to hold the tightened spring in place while replacing the pull rope, I find it makes it easier to replace the rope, you just have to be careful not to put too much pressure on the vice grips because the reel that holds the rope is plastic, although a very tough plastic, it\'s still plastic. Put it all back together.
Pulled the rope and was ready to start cutting. Runs like a new saw!

I have had this saw for at least 10 years, it was purchased with a group of saws at a pawn shop. I think I got at least 10 different saws for under $1,000,00. There were two of these saws in the \"package\". This one saw has been worth the amount paid for all, it is used quite a lot and with the PROPER repair parts will be used a lot more.

Thanks, I\'ll be back
