Good video. I have had my 562xp for a year now and it's the best saw I have ever had. It rips. No problems like you mention. I deal with a lot of Stihl dealers and they all seem to run husqy now.

@@jsource10 Their smaller saws seem pretty good. Their bigger saws need some updates. That sucks about your dealers. I pretty much do all my own work, so I don't worry too much about local support. My newest saw is a Dolmar/Makita, and there is no such dealer anywhere close by.

I have a 500xp mark 2. It rocks. I was hesitant at first. Probably 25 thanks through it and starts in 1 or 2 pulls.

It was probably getting vapor lock. If it sits in the sun for a period of time after running, the gas in the tank will boil if you open it. I was cutting with my ms 660 and ms 360 and it was hot and I had been cutting some hard hickory and the tanks were getting empty, so I opened them up to refill them and the remaining gas puked all over the saw. I fill d them back up with cool gas and they cranked back up.

I bought mine in 2017 and it starts great either hot or cold.

All u need for hot start issues is a new primer bulb and to open ur gas cap and let pressure out. Thats it. All ive ever had to do. My 562 has been the absolute best saw ive ever owned.

Glad that worked for you! Maybe Husqvarna shipped some saws with bad purge bulbs? That was our thoughts anyways. We tried the gas cap trick first with no luck... The boss has had much better luck with Echo, at least for smaller saws. I went with a Dolmar/Makita, very happy with it.

Makita/Dolmar is a good saw. But husky has alot more power. Idk what year you had but i do know that you can buy a box of 100 purge bulbs and 50 will be bad. So that is one issue. While also the older firmware from the first few models was fairly new so they were working out kinks. Ive not had an issue with any of the new ones. No issues at all. They update firmware once ever 6 months to a year. Even the newest firmware adds power and torque. Also new top covers are vented. I forgot to mention that. Husky fixed that issue as well. Stihl has gone to hell with the new emmission standards. I don't sell them anymore because i got tired of every single one of them having engine issues within a month. Holes in pistons, running too lean, detonation etc. Avoid stihl until epa lays off or they introduce fuel injection to all of them.

I just bought my 562XPW today bought the 24” Sugi Hara bar and the C 85 X Cut chains. Its a 2019 model year I’m hoping that Husqvarna worked out the kinks, I still hear the air filter seal is not good I was thinking about using an O ring or soft draft tape, I see some grease the area before putting on the air filter and some say use oil spray too on the filter, wish they had gone with the center screw car like filter on the 572XP seems far more up to date. Anyway she sure does look fantastic new especially with the Sugi lol. Thanks guys.

Yes I noticed that it builds up tank pressure, which could cause it to flood if left to stand. I changed the metering diaphragm on my 560 (see my video.), as the old one had gone very stiff and was either on or off, with no suppleness left in the rubber. This could have been caused by using ethanol fuel.

Have you had a crank bearing failure yet ? My 562 didn’t last two years !

Hello Day, can you tell me if the top cover on the engine and air filter from husqvarna 562xp fit to 560xp and can I use it?

@Cuttingwithcronkito

I have never held a 560xp, so I'm not sure if they are interchangeable or not. From what I read the 560 has a lower profile and smaller filter. If you get ahold of some info let me know, I'm curious now...

I've got this saw. Im a wild land fire fighter and have never had an issue. my only issue is the air filter pulls in ash.

Nice! Hopefully they got them fixed since we bought this one. I love the way they run once they're running... You might try some pantyhose over the filter, seems like that cut down on the debris intake a bit.

They make filter socks and better filters for em now. Quite a few of those were rolling though the shops for awhile blown up from getting too many fines down the intake. What’re you rockin now?

I’ve bought about 4 of these husky xp all had hot restart issues here in Florida... old husky’s were so good my fix was buy a new Stihl or find old model husky’s in the local pawnshops

A little rough on that saw ain't you, running it the dirt and just dropping it on the ground. Take care p f your saw and it will take care you.

do you find that the air filter lets dust into the engine?

Dull chain, will destroy the chain and bar. Makes the saw run hot.

You removed the fuel bulb... so how do you manage to start it when cold or dry-empty??? Btw, great video!!!

Thanks for watching! If I remember, the purge bulb is on the return side, so it doesn't seem to interfere with the flow to the carb. Starts back from empty fairly easily, almost like an old saw. Starts from cold nicely too. It was cold in this video, hadn't been used for at least a day. Nice thing is if it doesn't seem to work you can easily stick the bulb right back! Good for warranty stuff, ya know? ;-)

@@janethbailey1085 I don't remember for sure, but I think 50:1 is the recommended mixture. We run 40:1 in the work saws, and the new Husqvarnas still are a pain to get going once hot. The 550 is even worse than the 562 in that aspect, at least ours are. I suspect a lot of the problem is that they are so compact that there's a lot of heat transfer from the cylinder to the air box. I'm curious to know if 25:1 helps. I would think the heat and humidity are about the same between the Philippines and Missouri? I bet the 3120 works perfectly...
