XT650 brand new - surges

[Romore]

We had to disassemble and clean the carburetor on every XT engine we brought in, they were clogged with corrosion inhibitor. Some would not clean up and had to be replaced.

Post all of the number on your mower.
There are a lot of people on here who are trade so can verify them and verify warranty.
No idea on the USA situation but down here in OZ big retailers will buy heavily discounted remainders from overseas .
In this case the Australian distributor is not liable for warranty but the retailer is .
The retail chains try to con the customers into taking the mower to a mower shop but the mower shop can & will charge normal repair fees as the mower is not under an Australian distributors warranty
I get a few customers every year in this situation. Most times I can convince them to take it back to the retailer after getting a payment confirmation from the credit card company as proof of purchase if they have lost their receipt.

Talked to a local sales and repair farm/lawn business. Official husqvarna warranty place. Fueling issues apparently are not covered under the warranty. Soo, time to get cleaning that entire carb.

Good to know. Thanks for the information! I got two, so hopefully can get one to work.. Did you need to drill out the jets at all? My understanding is the aren't replaceable, except for pilot jet.

I use a welding tip cleaner. A drill bit will work turned with the fingers but go easy, don't remove metal.
