The 572xp in my opinion they are flawless
Hopefully I can get my hands on one someday! Thanks for the comment
That's a nice saw! I love how the newer Huskies run, I'm just not in a point in my life financially where i could justify buying one. I'd bet there are some of us that have trucks worth less than that saw. Also, growing up, my Grandpa tried to instill in me- if you own it you should know how to fix it, and that's not possible with a lot of things these days. You were smart to document this. It may help them really improve their design. Hope this all works itself out for you brother ✌️
Much appreciated sir! I like to fix things myself. I these saws, you get a brand new carb, it Has to be plugged into the dealer to initially get it running. Better to buy a used working carb than a brand new one. Interesting times. I wish they would allow private parties to have scan and update tools. RIGHT TO REPAIR! Haha
Thx u for your very honest review. Sorry for your troubles.I been in the stihl camp for years was going to husky for my first pro love the look an the slimness of it. BUT this makes me a little nervous.THINGS WILL WORK OUT. Hold your head up. An GOD BLESS!!!
The trouble was a little difficult to get through but I can surely say, the saw has been flawless and wonderful to use since repaired! I love running it. I have video I haven't edited where I used the saw extensively. Through this whole process I have had numerous people tell me of experiences they have had with their various tools of different makes. I always assume there can be an issue with a man made product. My biggest issue truly was in the end the lack of communication from Husqvarna themselves. I reached out via email along with another channel that had a running issues too and neither of us heard back. I have a whole bunch of content covering this. I truly love the Husqvarna line of equipment and continue to run them often.
I myself want to add some Stihl Equipment. Namely the 261C, 400C and 500i. I am a sucker for anything cool and each has their own benefits and drawbacks! Thank you again and God bless you as well!
I sincerely feel for you. A $1,000 chainsaw is an investment that you want to be happy about. It would probably take a new coil & 10 years of trouble-free use afterwards to make me feel better about your situation. Let's hope it is the coil, & it becomes the chainsaw you expected it to be. I don't blame you for being disappointed.
Speaking for myself - I can honestly say I don't want a chainsaw that needs a firmware update. If other options still exist, I would most likely go that route.
My primary chainsaw for the past 18 years has been a 2005 Jonsered CS-2152. I own 72 acres of woods, cut, & burn firewood. Since 2005 I've taken my 52 cc chainsaw back to the dealer once, & that was for a muffler bolt that vibrated out (lost it). He found a used bolt for me, and I took it back home the same day. I have a few other saws (2 were my dad's) , but the CS-2152 is what I use 80% of the time. With a sharp chain, it gets the job done.
Although I appreciate my local dealers, I don't want to be going back to them all the time. I want a chainsaw I can maintain myself. A small screwdriver & a tachometer gauge are cheap! Heck, I appreciate that I don't even need a special screwdriver to work on my older chainsaws. There's nothing about "auto tune" that makes me want a new chainsaw. I'm sure some love it, however!
I hope a new coil does it for you! 🙂 Unless you're a professional logger, that chainsaw should last you a lifetime! I'm bummed for you today! ☹
I agree with you sir! Listen, if they take care of it, I will be good. I can understand the desire to stay simple. I also think that if the saw runs fine, I am not sure if there is an actual need to get a firmware update. For example, once the saw is back in my hands and it is running correctly, I will NOT update the firmware unless there is no choice going forward. Appreciate you watching and stay safe sir!
@@oakiewoodsman I'd really be interested to know if it was the coil! Bought one of these off ebay cheap as a project saw to learn on, mine had two air-leaks, needed a carb rebuild, and luckily the piston/cylinder/crankcase were okay. Got my 562 because over a year ago I bought a 550XP mark II, and absolutely love that saw, so wanted something with a little more power for cutting bigger tree's etc. Only have a few hours of run time on my 562 after the rebuild, but I can say that the 500 series are wonderful saws...My guess is you just got a bad unit from the factory. Best wishes, really interested to hear how the whole thing goes for you!
@albertkropp hey thanks for watching commenting and being here. I love my 545 for sure. I love when this 562 is right. Such a pleasure to use and nice to work with. I have contacted Husqvarna via the website and awaiting a response. My dealer told me they were instructed to reflash it and send it back with me. Not exactly thrilled with that. I really don’t wanna make another failure video because I am tired of documenting this process and wanna get back to doing good op work. Also, I have a tree down from wind that I want to cut up and what is the purpose of this saw if I cannot even use it? Been in the shop for more time than it has been in my possession. Remember Okey Mt Outdoors purchased one a couple weeks later. His showed similar failure but ultimately lost all spark. I consider him lucky because it is definitively the coil. The only issue is that the coil is on back order.
@@albertkropp thanks for the email!
I've been going through the same thing lately with my 550XP Mk2. When its working it's awesome, best working saw I've owned. But it hasn't been reliable and the trips to the shop for service are getting expensive really quickly. I'm definitely weighing my options.
That is certainly a bummer! My 545 has been very good admittedly it doesn’t have very much time on it.
Very informative video! 🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓
Thanks for watching James
As someone who watches but isn’t fully knowledgeable I would love it if you could do an ultra beginners video of basic chainsaw terminology and maintenance and what’s great for smaller jobs.
I don’t know if that’s feasible but it’d be useful!
Hey my 440 was doing the same thing. It's the low and idle adjustment and the little flap at the bottom of the carb was a little off. So evrytime I get it warmed up / hot it did it until I replaced all parts on the carb and fine turned my carb adjustments till I got it right. Tighten down your hi and low all the way the open them both up to 1 and 1/2 turns counter clockwise
Man, I feel for you on this. You’re right; a $1000 saw is a substantial purchase for most people (myself included). That saw should run great, right from day one. Zero excuse for that thing to still be acting up.
Sure, maybe the work is being covered under warranty, but your time and gas spent getting to and from the dealer sure isn’t. I sure hope you’re taken care of in a manner that you’re happy with.
@HusqvarnaUSA What can you do to help this gentleman out? He shouldn’t be dealing with these headaches on a brand new $1000 saw. He’s being open, honest, and fair with this. Please take care of him and make it right; we’re watching.
I appreciate your comment! You are right, I have lots of time and in turn $ involved in just trying to get a saw that functions as it should. We got hit with storms and I would have loved to run this 562xp as it was purchased for just a time as this. Thank you again.
Looks like a coil issue to me, but it could be a wiring harness issue also. Donny Walker did a nice video not long ago about some wiring issues on the 5 series Husqvarna saws. A dealer in my area could not get the coils for this saw( 562xp )from Husqvarna due to supply chain problem, ended up giving customer a new saw to get him going. I have been waiting for over a year now for an exhaust gasket for a Husqvarna 550xp mark II from Husky and I'm still waiting. Come on Husqvarna!
I do not like to hear that! You know, echo is looking better and better as time goes on. They just got another piece of equipment added to my stable today! Issues arise but it is how it is taken care of that counts! Thanks for watching sir and I appreciate the comment.
Very frustrating! I am an echo guy but would love to have a 562 also. They are great saws, you just got a lemon. Curious to see how they remedy the situation for you. Lot's of people love those saws, I am sure they will get this fixed. Have a good day Oakie!
I am hopeful. Already spoke to the dealer and they sounded bummed. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@oakiewoodsman Friend is the 33:1 mix for the saw 372 xp 357xp 351 scythe
545rx ok with Husqvarna LS+ Jaso FD oil?
Not sure what you are asking.
My 562xp has been nothing but flawless for going on 10 years and I cut 12-16 cords of hard wood a year. Should do the testing on something like white oak or hard maple. That soft pine isn’t going to work the saw much. Crazy how one saw differs from another. Great content.
Glad you have had good luck! That is a bunch of wood for sure. I will be curious to see how many hours this saw is showing now. Hopefully the shop will tell me. Thank you for watching, good luck and be safe out there!
We went from the 555 to the 562 and had lots of trouble from them. Bearing failure in few days to ground wire shorting out to just not running. I like the 555 better. It was commercial use. The ones that ran are good just heavier than 555’s. That OE 550 we had luck the 550mk2 we had trouble with
Good information. Did you experience what I have in the same way?
I have a 562 as well, bought it in the summer of 2018 (I believe), it's been trouble free so far, but I probably have only put 25 tanks or so of fuel through it in that time
Thank you for watching! They are a glorious running saw and a pleasure to use. I had a great run after the repair but then it messed up recently. Not sure what has been going on but I still love running it. I just will always make sure I have 1 other saw with me. Thank you again for sharing
My 562 has run flawless for years, this season it’s giving me the business on hot starts so going to shop. Love love saw when it runs but a real pain in ass when you can’t start up after re fuel. Two dealers said the same… ignition coil. It’s on order if it doesn’t work, back to Sthil for me.
Thank you @Frankcurcio6982. Oakey Mountain Outdoors had a coil completely fail in I believe the first few hours of operation. His saw sat at the dealer because they could not get a coil for it. The dealer ended up removing one off of a shelf saw. Good luck but I would also caution just switching brands. I have been very critical of my experience here however, it has also exposed me to many other people that have had issues with STIHL as well. Did you know that ECHO warranties their coils for a long time? I think it may even be lifetime but you might want to check on that. Anyway, Good luck and I hope you can get that excellent running machine working properly again. Be safe!
@Mountain Funguy⚫ 6h ago My 562 do did the same thing. Awesome cutting but once hot it would wind down and then stopThe shop said it was bad gasplugged the fuel filter and gummed up carbIt looked bad. The said it must have had ethanol in fuel and bad 2 cycle oil. They had to replace the carb and electronic parts come with it. It now works fine. I am leary because it worked in the beginning alsoI only use non ethanol fuel in all of my utility equipment. BTWOnce cooled enough, it would run for several minutes and quit again.
I accidentally deleted your comment and I apologize. Great comment and I appreciate you leaving your experience here.
I can only imagine your frustration with that saw. Hopefully, your dealer will be able to get it fixed or let you trade it in for a new (discounted) 572xp for all your troubles. From reading the comments and from what you said it seems there is some kind of design flaw with the 562xp and Husqvarna should recall them and replace it with something different - kind of like yeti did with their backpack cooler and m30 hopper cooler.
I am frustrated however I am also slightly understanding being on the other side of the repair process. Unfortunately, sometimes the first educated guess is simply wrong. It becomes an issue with wait times and warranty process. On my end, it has cost me lots of time and some money driving to and from the repair shop. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have an original 562XP that drove me crazy with hard starts when hot but I loved the saw when it ran well. I read the reviews on the new version and it appeared the problem had been fixed. I chose a new 562 over the 572XP mainly because of the weight and for what I do I don't need the extra power. It is a beautiful saw. I love it. I decided to put a new aftermarket [$80] Piston/cylinder in the old saw and I was shocked at the difference. It runs almost as well as the new 562XP
That is awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to share this information. Mine is the updated Mark i version with the newer air cleaner setup. So you got the Mark ii? I was wondering if it was going to be as good because they lowered the compression from what I understand. Also, you put in an $80 piston and cylinder? hahahaha... that is awesome. Much better than a saw sitting there not able to be used.
Again, thank you so much for letting me know all of this!
Fleet commander ? Does many pod casts on that model 562 xp .
I learnrd that the carbs had a change in manufacturing locations .
So, I up graded to the newest carb & had it flashed to match the ignition. 👍
I put a rs chain on a 20" bar , always pulling chips w/ varying throttle to control heat sinking the carb & allow a cool down idle before shut off .
No issues w/ starts .
After the carb change , I gained better midrange .
Not as much as the 620 pw , but close w/ less weight.
Thank you for sharing the information! Have a good one and stay safe out there!@@jeffreyrudolph5061
I had a port job on mine which included opening the muffler up which was a majority of the issues because it held too much heat in. Worked much better after that.
Thanks for the feedback! I know this definitely needs to happen for these saws. It has been running very well and I have put numerous gallons of fuel through it with no issues!
When this happens you need to learn how to ' HOT START ' a saw....Then...Life goes on!
With all due respect, you have simply jumped to a conclusion. I meticulously documented the entire process for people that may question what I was reporting. It is now on you to look at what actually occured. Plenty of information and first hand experience recorded. This saw was repaired after the next visit I do believe and the operation has been extremely good with the exception of the typical "hot start" issue on this particular model of saw. If I ever get around to modifying it, that should go away. However, should we as consumers have to "fix" a design flaw? Yes, I know that you can simply put it on fast idle to run it. Keep in mind that as far as I am aware none of the other 5 series saws have required that and I am not aware of that being an issue on the 3 series saws either.
I appreciate the comment however, please, lets not be condescending and tell me that I simply didn't know how to operate the saw. I believe if I remember correctly, you can see that this saw struggled to run and then died. Heat Soaking or not, it shouldnt do that and nor has it done that again even when running it in extreme temps with a 28" bar in 30"+ white oak. Again, all documented.
Bummer they didnt get it fixed. Did you check to see if you had consistent spark ? Thanks for the mention . I will do the same when I do a video.
I did. It sir. I figured since it would pop, I may see something but not definitively. Hopefully the video helps em out. Appreciate you sir
Did I get the story right?
@@oakiewoodsman yes
I had this issue with my 2013 550xp right before i melted the top end. It was scored bad. I put a $30 cylinder kit in, runs great for now. One thing i didn't see you do was a factory reset?
That is a bad deal.
czcams.com/video/6tEASLmi3So/video.htmlsi=uaCu0ZZNjKcyY8wd
czcams.com/video/gmz9HcZIJpA/video.htmlsi=bzG4WfwLfB9Lb4cn
Those two video show what I had done. This was immediately after the issue showed up. Thank you for commenting. This is at least how I did the Field Reset.
Mine was great when it was running right. I used it for a large cedar cutting sideways to get it off our house and it just died and then would only run when pulling the trigger full boar. It eventually stopped running. I took it in and they discovered the cylinder was scored. They said it was because of lack of oil in the fuel. But from watching videos about these things I found a guy that said if the cylinder and piston are scored on only the exhaust side that usually means a bad air filter. The air filter was very dirty. But I thought it would just work with the air It was getting because they are auto tune. The shop said they would not warranty it because it was bad gas even though I always used the husqvarna pre mixed cans.
Wow! That is a lot of information. I would say this, any saw with air starvation, less than stellar chain sharpness and abuse can and will fail. I think these 5 series saws are very good performers but MORE sensitive to optimal cutting conditions. They are like a fine surgery tool and cannot be hammered on. That is where the ECHO cs-620P comes in. A little less performance, heavier and more vibration but it can handle more abuse. It will however fail with abuse. Sorry for your trouble and hopefully you can get a good maintenance routine going on your next saws. Thanks for watching
Man that bites. Well, atleast hopefully husqvarna is taking note of these issues and this should help save some headaches for others down the road.
At this point i wouldn't blame you if you asked for a new saw or a refund but would be interesting to see if a module/coil fixes it.
Hearing Oakie Mt's having same problem is interesting.
Very interesting for sure. I don’t know if Husqvarna really watches these things.
@@oakiewoodsman I meant through the dealer network. Surely they're keeping track of model/parts serial numbers and given enough issues, can narrow it down to batch or supplier.
You would think. Imagine if this saw went to the average user. I think a lot of people could make a few cuts and put it on the shelf and not find an issue for a long time. Let it cool off and run it again.
I have a 562XP Mark II, I hope it's fixed in that version.
I believe that they have made some major improvements to the Mark ii and had I known it was actually coming, i would have likely waited. Now, that does not mean that every 562 goes like mine has. There are a lot of variables. While I do not enjoy the trouble I have had, that is really not the main issue any longer. The main issue is that Husqvarna will not respond to anything I have sent to them and I believe they are aware of my situation. That is my personal belief however but I just do not think they are unaware of their issues with these saws. A dealer rep would have likely sufficed but I also have not been able to speak to one of them either. I have heard that people experience varies quite a bit around the country so, do not let my experience scare you. My 545 has been excellent and is showing no signs of trouble at all!
Oh damn, back to the shop. Good thing they swapped carbs first, coils almost always get warrantied but carbs are harder to get covered. I didnt get that one right either but warranties exist for a reason.
I sure appreciate you watching man. Love your input because you are a service tech right?
Yep, tech, sales, and parts. Scag, Toro, and Echo. Some experience with Stihl on the dealer level as well.
No experience with husky other than some repairs. I am also an enthusiast so i have way more saws than i need and make repairs on all kinds of stuff. Still tinkering with a burnt up 545 mk1 so I am about to go through youtube autotune school.
@Super-Dave-Outdoors right on! Wish you were closer buddy!
@@oakiewoodsman you are doing the right thing taking it back to the dealer and not monkeying around with it yourself. Having the issues on camera helps too. Push the dealer, good ones fight for their customers. Try to reach out on a factory level too, see if there is any way to contact husqvarna about your issue. This should be a reasonable case with everything so well documented.
@Super-Dave-Outdoors so would the dealer find that to be an issue? Like going above their head?
I started out doing tree work about 5 years ago now with my Cousin on the weekends and started with Echo because I refused to pay the high price of Husqvarna or Stihl. I have 4 pro Echo saws (2511T, 355T, 501P, 620PW) and 1 Makita 7901PRZ1. The 620PW is the only decent saw of that bunch stock and I don’t modify my saws so I tried a Husqvarna 395XP and a 550XP mark II to see if they were all they say they are. I was hooked. I bought a 572XP then 540iXP then 562XP and finally a 592XP. The 562XP is the only one that needs the high idle to start out of all of them and it is not always every time. Also because of all the hype about the 500i I bought a Stihl 500i. I don’t like it as much as my Husqvarna’s and even my non biased brother preferred the smoother cutting of my Husqvarna’s on his tree we cut up. Lastly it kinda sucks they just came out with a 562XP Mark II when mine is only about 2 years old and yours might be even newer. At least we have the new filter version of the 562XP😊
Brian, thank you for sharing all of this information for all to see. I wonder if the 562XP Mark ii will truly improve this saw. I really do like it now that it has been sorted and it almost always gets run when I am out. I am finding that I don't pick up the 50CC saw as much any longer even though that one is perfectly capable of cutting quite well. I have never run a 395 572 or 592 myself. I recently have had more time with a 372XT and have been impressed with it as well. As you may already know, I have been very frustrated with Husqvarna. Not because of the issue but rather the lack of support I feel as a customer. They had some trouble and stayed silent about it. Regardless, when I ran the 500i, it was very nice however, the feel and build quality on the Husqvarna Saws seems to be far better IMO. There is just something about how they feel, run and sound. They just seem more refined. I would like to add all of the mentioned saws to my enthusiast arsenal someday. Thank you again for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@oakiewoodsman the thing I will say about the 3 series like my 395 is they feel cheaper than the 5 series and the screws vibrate out. So if you get a 372 make sure to either loctite the screws or check them often.
@@Brian-Outdoors you know, they are nice for sure but I would say, the limited experience I have with the 3 series, I never thought about it but I think you are right. The build quality of the 5 series is very nice!
I have had a fairly trouble free, 2020 550 XP MKII it can be difficult on some re-starts. When I needed a bigger saw I bought a Still MS 462 as I thought it was better than the Husky 572 and in the UK they are about the same price. I have just bought a backup Jonsered 2165 which is the same as the Husky 365 special. I wish they still made the 3 series saws.
You have a nice collection and I appreciate you weighing in. Are you happy with the 462. I haven’t run a more modern Stihl since I have had my hands on these two 5 series saws. The Jonsered would be sweet to get to have buddy. Thanks for watching and appreciate your time commenting.
The 462 is a great saw so far, It is my first Stihl and it appears very well built and is light compared to Jonsered. @@oakiewoodsman
That is what is awesome about all the Stihl Stuff is the weight. Thanks for letting me know. Again, appreciated
@@oakiewoodsman I have trouble free, 2011 Husky 560 XP, now I would like to switch to new Stihl MSA 220 CBQ or Stihl MSA 300 C witch do not need gas, only electricity from solar panels, so for 10 - 15 years, without money needed to run the saw. Only oil.
This was going to be my next saw, but my friend who has a couple was not impressed. I think its going to be the Echo 620. Not a racehorse but reports seem ok.
The 620 is a great option! Mine is now ported. I prefer running the 562XP over a stock 620 due to feel and performance. The ECHO has been rock solid! Thank you for watching and sharing!
I just bought the 550xp mark2 and only ran 1 tank of gas thru it but it's a beast. Hopefully it don't mess up like the 562s
I believe that they have worked out the kinks on those saws. Just keep her sharp, treat it like it is meant to be, meaning it is not a torque saw and doesn't need to be leaned on hard and if I were you, I would run good oil at 40:1. Just my two bits! Thank you for watching and enjoy your new incredible saw!
@@oakiewoodsman this old man that did logging all his life got into building good saws a while back and I just bought a Ms 660 from him that is show room new but built to scream. I have an 8 pin sprocket and 25 inch bar on it. It's by far the strongest saw I ever picked up and it is heavy but it's so fast it almost scares me a little. My 550xp is one I can run all day but there is something special about this ms660 the old man built me
@@matthewknight5641 very cool! What region?
@@oakiewoodsman East Tennessee
Very cool! Beautiful country out that way. Thank you for sharing
My 562 has been great. Never a problem.
It is a delightful saw to run right? Now that the gremlins have been worked out, I truly love running it. If you check out my more recent videos, it has been fantastic. I was just documenting my experience with this saw. It spend plenty of time at the dealer unfortunately. Thanks for watching
562xp mark 2 is out soon. Autotune 3.0. Hopefully all the 562 problems have been fixed 🤞
Did not know anything about that. Source? Appreciate you!
I am still trying to wrap my head around that fact that Chainsaws have computers............I mean WTwig, ha ha ha!!! I haven't had a chainsaw in years, but I have to get one soon, as we are going to buy some land and will have to clear it, what's wrong with a dumb new saw??? Just like when we go to build out home its NOT going to be a smart home, no way, ha ha ha!!! Liked#3 and subscribed!!!
Even the saws without computers controlling fuel have them in the ignition coil to control ignition timing and rpm limits.

Hahaha
Appreciate the sub and hope you find some of my stuff helpful! Did you see my house build video and family forestry stuff yet? How I got into this world of saws as heavily as I did. The clone saws did it for me! Thanks for being here!
Hello fellow Husky fan, you say step one is they update the software, but I hope step one was renew the sparkplug? To be sure?
With less than 3 hours on the saw? If the saw was not under warranty and I was replacing parts hoping for results, I may very well try that myself. You are correct however that we should NOT assume it could be something simple like that. Wouldn't that be amazing if they replaced my carb and all it was was a failed plug! WOW! 😂 Thanks for watching and make sure you catch the most recent installment of this SAGA! Would love to hear your opinion!
Ive had 2 562xps and both would die if left idle in the cut one was worse then the other idk why they do that but no other husky 5 series ive had done this
Interesting man! This saw seems to be sorted out now. I have really enjoyed running it even when it is stock. Thank you man and have a good rest of the weekend.
@@oakiewoodsman 👍no problem
Has the warranty covered all the trips to the shop ?
Yes sir. Honestly all it has had was 1 update. Next one was dropped off, pressure test and then carb replacement.
Probably already fixed or sold the saw but my saw was having this same issue and was a vapor locking issue solved by drilling holes in the top cover.
I am using the saw and loving it. Only is finicky while hot starting and along with you, a few have mentioned how to eliminate vapor locking with modifications to deflect and re route heat. Thanks for watching and commenting! What year is your saw?
Speaking as a retired auto technician who owns too many saws (including two 5 series Husky’s)…I have to be honest that they’re very simple technology and often these small shops don’t know how to run proper diagnostics. There’s a very limited range of things that can go wrong. That said, I have to point out the overlooked issue with modern saws is often the fuel (and I don’t mean old fuel). You could have excess water in your gas from old tanks at your local station (test you fuel for water and ethanol content). Even if you buy ethanol free at the pump- test it. I’ve seen this problem.
As for the saw itself- if problems manifest once the saw gets hot some common problems I see are as follows:
1) Defective coil which starts losing the ability to generate sufficient spark at temp.
2) Vacuum issue in fuel tank. Fuel can’t be drawn into carb quickly enough because you have a venting issue (loosen fuel cap and reinstall when problems emerge to test).
3) Crack in spark plug center electrode which becomes an issue at full temperature (just fixed a two stroke outboard with this problem after all other diagnostics checked out).
4) Rarer issue on newer saw: air leaks that emerge when a saw gets hot and metals expand.
I could go on, but it’s not rocket science. If the saw has a problem and the shop can’t diagnose it- it’s not a great shop. Firing the parts cannon at something (new carb) is never a good approach.
Next time it acts up check your spark/coil. Also, a new $4 spark plug (use NGK from local store not online) crosses an item off the list.
All of this makes perfect practical sense. The only thing is when a saw is an outlier or accidentally fixed. Sequence of events is as follows: saw started missing and stalling once warm, dealer updates and sends it back. I pushed the saw and it did it again. Dealer replaced carb per Husqvarna recommendation after pressure testing and sent it back to me. While cutting, it did it again. Saw went back to dealer and all that was done is a reflash. I was skeptical and fairly perturbed. The only thing is, it has been run hard in big oak with the 28 fully buried in hot conditions. I have used it numerous times and besides a periodic hot start issue, it has been flawless. I really don’t know what the actual original problem was at this point.
What do you think?
It's a strange order of operations on their part. I'd want to know why they thought updating software on a fairly new saw would solve a major problem. Software updates are mostly fine tuning things based on usage data they've collected and to address small behavioral issues.
When you plug into the saw with your laptop and Husky software I can see how you've been using the saw and the adjustments it has tried to make. If I see the saw is running lean and autotune keeps trying to add more fuel then I know you may have an air leak or an issue convincing the saw to add more fuel. Likewise, if you're running too rich it may try to lean things out.
I'm not sure of the scenario where software fixes a fundamental issue. Clearly, they didn't replicate your problem because that would have led them to the issue right off the bat. They probably started it and let it run for a bit and said "hmm, seems ok, guess we'll just update the software and send it out the door."
Diagnostics takes time and everyone is in a rush (and warranty work doesn't pay the best).
While replacing the carb they may have properly seated a wiring connection, replaced a faulty gasket, repositioned a kinked hose, etc. Who knows. The carb itself may have had an issue, but I somewhat doubt it.
Husqvarna recognizes that they had a lot of room for improvement on hot start issues and various servicing details because they redesigned the 562xp recently. The new 562xp Mark II has already been announced on the Husky site and will probably go on sale early next year. They changed dozens of things, lightened it, etc.
The hot start issues tend to just come from heat soak with the fuel sitting in the carb getting hot after the saw has been running and turned off. Pumping the primer bulb can inject some cooler fuel from the tank which can help. If you run it hard on a hot day and let it sit for a while- pump the bulb five times and then set it to FAST idle (to use fast idle- put choke on, then depress kill switch to remove choke-it's now on fast idle. Don't touch throttle trigger or it goes off fast idle). Hope this helps.
I believe I agree with everything you have stated. Made sense to me. Just don't know why the last repair visit with the supposed software update made the difference. It is possible however that they found something and did not document it because it may have proven the original carb was in deed not the issue.
As far as them running the saw, ALL of the dealers in my surrounding areas are just Outdoor Power Equipment places. Logging isn't a huge thing around here even though we have an abundance of timber. You see, I think most saws that are sold are to homeowners and farmers and when the saws become problematic, they are sold a new model. With that being said, the best I am aware of is a shop cutting a few slices off a 4x4. A saw like this 562 can eat up a whole 8ft log @ 13" in diameter so they really cannot reproduce what I was experiencing. I didn't try but I am sure the saw would likely idle through a whole tank and never really get to true operating temperature.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness and time in making these comments.
Somebody needs to check all of the Autotune/wiring harness. A builder in Canada made a vid saying he's seen misrouted harnesses from the factory on some 500 series saws, and have caused some headaches.
I believe I saw Afleet command talk about that too. Wires rubbing thin etc. good comment and I sure appreciate you chiming in. This will be a learning experience for everyone including my shop. Not many people buy pro level saws in my the neck of the woods. Again, thank you
@@oakiewoodsman No problem, good luck. Tech is great when it works, that's for sure. I tried linking the actual video but the post kept disappearing for some reason. Donny Walker is the guy, and autotune resets was in the title. 8-9 minutes in.
@@split150 I had seen that video. I like watching him from time to time. I am not into some of the super vintage stuff that he will work on. I like it when he shows bits about Husky and Stihl. Wealth of knowledge for sure! Appreciated!
Donny walker had a video a while back he found that the ignition switch wire was grounding out on the case just a thought
I did see that video. I appreciate you watching and sharing. I looked for some rubs but didn’t find any in the harness. Little wires like that could certainly be problematic with the vibration these things have when spinning WOT and poor wire routing. Thank you again and thanks for watching and commenting!
My saw, 562 xp, is doing the same thing. It runs for a while then won't run a idle. Prime, set to fast idle, two pulls to start. Then do a cut and keep running fast to next cut. But cuts out it dropping speed to idle. Wore me out just restarting.
It's not just you.
Don’t keep running it. Sounds like you may have some sort of air leak or something. I am not a proficient saw mechanic but I can tell you this, if you have a leak, you will just cause more damage running it. This is the same with any 2 stroke engine. Good luck figuring it out. Do you know how to check the PTO side seal with brake cleaner? Afleetcommand has some great videos on that.
When did u purchase this saw ?? Husqvarna has put out an updated bottom end. I think they were having some type of problems with bearings. I don’t think that’s the problem ur having tho. 3 series is so Awesome and that’s what I stick too !!
Appreciate the comment! I purchased it from a dealer who had to get it shipped directly from Husqvarna. Date on it did show year of 2022 if I remember correctly
I had a 562xp. I never had any issues with it. Just traded it in for a 592xp.
Awesome! Have much time on it? Do you find the 592 significantly heavier and more cumbersome to use?
@@oakiewoodsman I only had it about 8 months. Not a lot of time but a decent amount. You can definitely tell the 592 has some weight to it, but it cuts so much faster that it seems like you don’t have to hold it as long, if that makes sense. I usually only use it on big stuff that a tree service company brings me. Next saw on the list is a 572xp. I also have the 545 and I love using that thing.
@@KAMP8505 I sure appreciate you sharing that information. I really love using my 545 so much and that is what sold me on getting the 562XP. Mine has seemingly been running much better as I have used it a few times since this video was made. Crossing my fingers. It is always good to have a backup saw but I really make sure to have one right now.
Makes total sense that the saw is in your hands less and I could see a huge advantage using that to buck up tree service wood! Thanks again for being here and sharing!
@@oakiewoodsman in my experience a 60cc saw is closer to a 50cc saw in power than it is to a 70cc saw. Just my opinion though. The 562xp has a place but I think the 572xp does everything the 562 does better and more.
You could be very right about that. It is just that 60cc comes with 3/8 pitch and takes large mount bars. But…….. not too much different in performance I am thinking
Was waiting/hoping for a few basics, tangible ones. What does a "clean bill of health" mean? Did "clean bill of health" have a CST report? If not, you should get one. You get a visual on how they did a true vac test? Some service places don't actually know how. Kid u not. Compression test is first thing I would do, followed by CST report and if the numbers are high, a vac test. You can do that. Needs to be better than 140 to run right. Also what "mix" are you using. And where is the CST operation history report. That would prolly tell the story. AND if the CST & Compression shows a solid saw. AND you have cleaned the carb, it's prolly the coil. Another thing I have seen is crud in the carb / solenoids that act like that. But you might have a couple of things going on with that saw. While 562's DO chatter, That was a lot of piston chatter , more than I like to hear. Hoping you run 40:1 with the Husqvarna stuff or good ester based oil and not some wiz bang paraffin based two stroke oil. That is what I came away with, and I've debugged dozens after the typical "online" chatter and speculation was used to push one theory or another at the local dealer :) They are just a chainsaw. With the same types of issues any other would have. The Autotune and misunderstanding puts this veil over what usually is a simple mechanical diagnostic process.
Same symptoms and within 5 minutes had the diagnostic......followed by very old 562 czcams.com/video/_Z-v5f3UdwY/video.html
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I have watched hours of your content from clone saws to Jonsered and Husqvarna 3 series and 5 series saws and seeing how "useful" a saw is to you and respect much of what you say. I have also learned that like you stated, AutoTune saws are just chainsaws with one more layer of complexity and really are not voodoo and actually indeed do a very good job at their intended purpose. I also am aware that AutoTune can also mask issues due to it "tuning around trouble" as you put it often.
Before I spent money on this 5 series saw I thoughtfully did research and listened to much of your commentary and experience through the years and you and Bob discussed this subject.
Let me address a few of your questions now. This video is much like your format in the way that it is just a record of what is happening and what your experience has been. I actually specifically showed what is going on so that way any naysayers couldn't just accuse me of lying or misunderstanding the circumstances.
This saw was purchased new by me and if I recall correctly had about 7 hrs on it when CST was used at the dealer the first time. I have only run 40:1 Echo Red Armor with non ethanol fuel. The same fuel is run simultaneously in ALL of my other 2 cycle equipment including my Husqvarna 545 saw which has always run flawlessly and was much of the catalyst in this purchase decision. I did not get a visual on their ability to do a Vac Test and would never be so condescending as to question their ability to Troubleshoot a saw that they sell. While I do know it is possible they do not know what they are doing, they are the only option I have as Husqvarna is not a major player in my area. (This experience actually strengthens much of what you said in your moving to the electric future where you talked about skill level of repair facilities along with the needs of the general public)
I watched them run the tests and saw all of the green check marks. I am not qualified nor do I understand enough to interpret the data I saw on the screen. Are they? I am not sure. I was going to give them a chance however.
I agree with you that maybe there was a couple things going on with the saw and that was a fear of mine because I do have a background in repair and diagnostics and know how difficult a trouble behind a trouble can be.
What is interesting here is the sequence of events. I do not like them and they did not give me peace about the repair because there was not a logical progression towards the final repair. As I have shown in this series, the saw started running poorly so I stopped and took it in and showed them the video. They put it on CST and updated after pulling the recoil off to verify the coil version. They sent it home with me. I ran it again and the same exact trouble happened again after getting warm/hot. I took it in. Here is where I was afraid of what might be mechanically wrong. Was is low on compression, was there an air leak, would they blame me for something I had done or had not done? Since this saw was a large investment for our family, I was trying to do everything correct. They compression tested it, checked for air leaks (I don't know how) and Husqvarna told them after doing these steps to replace the carb. I questioned that because I don't like the parts cannon approach to repair and many much like you thought it could be the coil.
I got the saw back and low and behold it did the same thing. At this point I was frustrated. I was however understanding and patient as can hopefully be seen in my content. I took it back and awaited a response. I got a call and they told me that they had been instructed to Re Flash it again. I was NOT happy but kept a respectful composure over the phone because to me, that was silly. At this point in time I asked the dealer if they would be understanding if I asked for a Rep to contact me and/or I reached out to Husqvarna. I heard nothing from a Rep and I tried contacting Husqvarna and got ZERO response. You see, I was not happy with another software repair attempt. I heard nothing from them.
Believe it or not, I received the saw back and it has functioned ever since. I have run it hard in the hot Oklahoma summer in 30" wood and a 28" bar and it never stumbled. All of this has been shown on the channel.
I have been an advocate of these saws because they are a pleasure to run. They are a beautiful piece of engineering and I truly enjoy running them.
A question I have is this. What was the actual original problem? Also, is it possible that upon receiving the saw the last time, they found some tiny issue with an impulse line or something else? I will never know at this point. The saw has been running well and I have been pushing it to see if it would make it.
Thank you for watching.
@@oakiewoodsman Good stuff, and unfortunately Autotune CAN cover for a LOT of chit.... good news and bad news. Often lets a dealer "kick the can down the road" as it runs well enough for a while. I'm sorry u have to go thru all this for a new saw. I can tell u my local dealer would have treated u differently, u would have a new saw by now is my guess. Might be a dealer issue as much as anything. But get that CST report, both operation history and error report. And find out what the compression is. Post that as well. Those fuel numbers are key, need to be in the 70 range plus or mi nus. Check the fuel lines to be sure they aren't kinked. ANOTHER little deal was in some of the 562 MK 2's they had a defective PTO side seal. Husqvarna service is well aware. IF your saw magically starts running "right" after a dealer visit...hey they may have fixed other things as well :) The support line dealers have to Husqvarna has some real talent at the other end. You having exposure , may never know what actually happened.....but unless all history was cleared, the CST report will give clues to either WHAT is going on now or WAS going on in the past.
I thought I took a picture of their screen. Looking right now. Found a picture of when the starter was removed to expose the numbers on the coil
BTY I have a group on face book dedicated to this type of scenario," Husqvarna Autotunes Only", would be nice to share the raw experiences there.
I’m guessing it needs a new coil. But in the meantime, pull the muffler to have a look at the pot-piston.
Thanks for sharing. Dealer did a pressure test on it and I am sure looked into Exhaust side.
Hey Joe. I'm just catching up on your videos.
Ah…… seeing the journey I have been on! Thank you sir!
I went Echo. My old Stihl is fantastic.
The pushing up on the switch is actually better because if down is off, your hand is moving down when you grab a saw - and if you 'catch the switch' then you have more potential to shut it off.
If you are talking about a deliberate movement to shut it off: Stihl move thumb up. Others: move thumb up, then down. That's twice the action.
Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. I definitely accidentally turn the Echo off more than any other chainsaw ever. Especially if I am wearing a glove. The toggle is just hanging out there to catch the smallest of movements.
I kinda think of the Stihl setup like this. It is like the 3 way switches I wired up myself in my home. I never quite get used to turning the lights on by flipping the switch down. I am thinking many people are like myself and deliberately rest the position by walking to the switch less used flip it on it off and then walk back to the other and assure the switch you use most often is in the down is off and up is on state 🤣. In all seriousness, a person does get used to it. Kinda like driving a manual Transmission vehicle or push button start in a newer automobile. Again, I appreciate you being here and thanks for writing the comment!
@@oakiewoodsman I would have probably bought another Stihl but I don't want a part of a computer running the saw. That is my #1 reason for going with ECHO...no firmware upgrades, no extra things that can go wrong. I wanted the tried, tested and true engine with a carb and a spark plug.
How long before saws have an app for your phone which collects stats or even starts it?
@smorgdonkey unfortunately, I think we will see more simple electric saws takin their place before too long. I made that video about Husqvarna abandoning 2 stroke and laying all sorts of ppl off. Now it appears Stihl is doing the same. Laying off around 550 US employees blaming demand. Meh
I didn't realize how old this video was. It filled up with fines. Even in that video.
Thanks for watching. Came back from the dealer today, no problem found.
Man, this stinks…. It’s tough to drop that kind of coin and have trouble out of the box.
I presume the dealer has checked fuel delivery, tank venting, etc…. If so It’s “got to be” the ignition system….
When it gets hot and won’t start pull the plug and check spark. Even if there is spark it could be too weak. I had a certain brand of dirt bike that was notorious for coil gremlins….
My 550xp and 572xp have been basically flawless. I updated the firmware on both which seems to have solved the VERY minor things on both. Porting my 572 has made it a beast of a saw. I’m leaving my 550 stock…
I love my 620p. When I get a minute I’m having it ported as well 😁
Good tips and great information! Hopefully they have got all of it under control. Saw is back in their possession!
@@oakiewoodsman well, good thing is…. It’s a saw. There’s only so much to change.
Hahaha ya! But a simple thing overlooked can cause gremlins for sure.
Trade her in on a 585 the 620 is a solid 60cc saw after port work they rip. I really wanted a 562 glad other guys at work got them first cause both had issues. One cooked the cylinder.
I hear ya. If I had a 90cc around it would be a clone 660 I think. I wouldn’t have enough use for it to justify a 585/592. The 572xp is a different story however. That may be justifiable. Time will tell.
@@oakiewoodsman 572 is a nice saw for sure just seems like the newer auto tune saws wear out fast if your on them every day. Something like the 372 or a 7900 will just go til it falls apart if you let it. The 585 seems like a strong saw and I like standard carb so it's really the only 5 series I would spend that kinda money on. The 550 mk2 looking good right now to though but it's so hard to beat echo or older husky in 70cc and below you spend so much for a few seconds in the cut and your always relying on dealer turn around times. 660 is a safe bet strong and reliable even the 661 is an awesome saw we stump with a 661 running up to a 4ft bar surprised it hadn't blown up.
@@oakiewoodsman I got at least 100 hrs on my 7310 hasn't skipped a beat. None of the 3 series husky on our jobs ever do either they will run with a air leaks or scored cylinders if you just mix them richer. Something to be said about the performance of auto tune strato saws but man it's just hard to see the guys run them at work tend to rotate them through the dealer month to month. The 462 seems decent once you upgrade filter and you can get them with or without auto tune bs
Good information sir. Appreciate your input and thanks for sharing!
@zack6892 appreciate this information too!
I believe with the 400 video your talking about he didn’t have the saw tuned correctly. That being said I’m looking at a 562 or 550.
I believe you may be correct. I actually kinda wish I woulda went the 400c route due to it being a tad lighter and darn near 70cc performance. I love both of my 5 series saws. My 545 is excellent and very much what you would hope for in a saw. Always starts and hot starts. The 562 is for sure temperamental. Definitely not impossible to hot start. Just not the refined saw I had hoped it would be. I really LOVE running it especially compared to the echo cs-620p. I would not go out with one saw and have it be the 562XP. Thanks for the comment
@@oakiewoodsman that’s actually good to know because I was looking at the 562, it seems there’s too many bad stories about them. I did see the mark II was coming out this fall. About 6 months ago I went out to buy a 550 and ended up with a 261 instead. Well I still want a 550 or 562. I’m thinking I may get the 550 and eventually just get a 400c as well. I will then have a 250, 261, 550, ported 4910, and ported 372 oe. I’d consider selling the 250 and 261 to go towards a 400. Stihls aren’t as exciting but I do feel the mtronic is more reliable. Mines never had a single starting issue or issue. I watch the 400 on cotton tops channel and it’s a beast
my understanding is they reduced compression with a dished piston in the 562xp. I would assume that would correlate with a less exciting saw. I would certainly look elsewhere unfortunately. My 562XP is my preferred saw to run due to way it runs but I have to consider it more of a toy than a tool.
I also watch cotton top and have seen his 400c running. In fact it was interesting when he purchased the new one. It hadn't yet come alive.
Do you really think that you would rather have a 550 over the 261? I have really been playing with getting a 261c and a 400c/462c. I would love the feedback. I wish I knew someone around here with a 261C so I could run one. Thanks for being here and super interested in what you ultimately do! Have a good one! @@Tcw2019
I bought a 562XP the 1st week in August and had the exact same problems. Bishop referred me to a local dealer who contacted Hooskvarna who said the inside was dirty and will not warranty it. I wasted $735 dollars and am very upset about the principal of the issue. I should get my money back or a repair or a new saw on their 2 year fake warranty. Will never buy a hooskvarna again.
Do you have pictures? Was the air cleaner clogged?
Hot start issue? That 5 series muffler holds a lot of heat.
Doesn’t account for the missing though before you turn it off I wouldn’t think? My 545 does not behave like this at all nor does Oakey Mt Outdoors. He has a 545, 550 and his 562 is in the shop due to the same type symptoms. Hey, appreciate you watching and commenting! Thank you
Have you had the muffler off?
No. Since the saw is so new with less than 3 hours I am not doing anything. It is Husqvarnas problem at this point. They did a leak down test on it at the dealer before they replaced the carb. Appreciate the comment!
I will stick with my 200 and 300 series saws, I briefly had a 575, what a crappy saw that was.
Don’t have experience with the 575 but haven’t heard much good about them. My understanding is the original 372XT was also a problematic saw but they eventually got it worked out and made some decent out of it. I would much rather have a non XT version original 372. I have never run a 200 serious saw. Thanks for commenting and watching
@@oakiewoodsman czcams.com/video/8CAUCz6nHds/video.html My favorite saw
Good running saw and it sounds great!
Soon as you said they had software I was like nope I'm out
The computerized part of this saw was not what was wrong and in reality makes these saws as excellent as they are. I understand if you want to keep the two worlds separate! Thanks for watching.
I asked for to be sent to me last night. The carburetor showed 5 to 9 hours use. It started running like crap right out of the box.
Gotcha. Will be interesting to find out what happens next.
I have a 462c and i have no problems so far i think i have 5 tanks through it and no problemS the 400c is way better than the 562. Maybe you should try a sthil
The 462 is a great saw for sure and would be one of the top saws on my list in the 70cc range. M-Tronic saws operate in a similar manner and are not 100% reliable as in any machine. What is going to determine my future buying decisions is how this issue is resolved. Be safe cutting and enjoy! Keep the air cleaner knocked out every couple tanks and you will be golden! 😉
Not sure about 400c being “way” better. It is LOTS more money and really should operate more like a 462 or 572 as it is closer in displacement. Where they shine is that they are VERY light. They have lots of plastic. Interesting saw to me however
@oakiewoodsman I had the 400c and I got mine for 950 out the door I paid 1200 for the 462 that was pricey but way nicer saw I thought started with the 029 at 300 and still have it and running great
When did you buy them? My local dealers wanted 1k for a 362c and 25” bar. That was a couple months ago when I bought the 562
The 400c was 2 years ago and the 462c March of this year right before they went up I think the 462c is now 1350 depending on bar
Maybe the reason was the heat this guy mentions at 14.00
czcams.com/video/G-vpS3f-Z8w/video.htmlfeature=shared
It might be causing problems in the carb. I saw another guy changing the carb for the same issue that fixed it. Do you hsve a heat insulator between the engine fins and the carb?
I have no additional heat insulator on the saw or modifications as this was a brand new stock saw. I wanted to let the dealer resolve the issue. Thanks for watching. It runs well without modification however, I believe hot start would be improved with additional shielding and a muffler mod.
Run it. Blow it up. They know it’s not right. You could run 2 gallons of there fuel through it. But run the piss out of it. Document it well.
I hear ya but it isn’t my style. I may get taken advantage of however. But, I am on the lookout for it. Appreciate the comment thanks for watching. What do you think it is?
As long as it passes a vacuum pressure Test probably Injector and or carb not at 100. Have you ever taken the muffler off and cycled the piston to see if there are any issues?
I have kept a policy of letting the dealer handle the saw while it is under warranty. I don’t mind doing something like that but I do not want them to give any reason for denying warranty work. Appreciate the comment!
This just doesn't sound right to me. I even asked my dealer and he said the 562XP is one of the very best saws for service.
What doesn't sound right good sir? It sure didn't sound right to me either when I had to go back and forth and troubleshoot. Let me tell you, my least favorite part was explaining to my wife why my nearly $1k saw was going back to the shop again. I did not want this trouble, not did I appreciate it. I also do not think that "every" Husqvarna is bad nor do I think that every 562XP is bad. There is a reason they came out with a Mark ii model.
With that all being said, I also am aware that as a man made machine, it will likely have a certain percentage of failures and ALL brand are susceptible to this cruel reality. Parts fail and designs can be improved. My ECHO CS-620PW, widely regarded as a more robust and durable saw actually got an oil pump installed under warranty due to a malfunctioning pump. I just hadn't caught on and my saw porter being an ECHO mechanic happened upon it during inspection.
My only beef has been with the company Husqvarna/Electrolux. This is also been well documented. The Chainsaws are excellent and my favorite to run out of anything I have ever run. The company however has really left their dealers in a lurch and failed to communicate with me via email when I reached out during the frustrating nearly 6 week ordeal. I am not an unreasonable person. I just wanted to talk. Oakey Mt Outdoors also had a failure as well. They could not get the parts to the dealer. He also reached out to Husqvarna and heard nothing. He loved the 562 just like he loved his 550 and 545. He already owned a 400C and really got cold feet on Husqvarna after that experience. He now has purchased a 500i. If you were to ask him, I am not sure he would be super excited about a 572 or 592 but I may very well be wrong there.
Also, just like in the automotive industry, dealers/service men can share their true beliefs and can be wrong. They can also have an agenda as well. Or.... they simply could have never have seen a problem. My dealer had never even seen a 562XP.
Anyway, thank you for watching and please understand that the 562 is one of my most used saws on my channel and I absolutely LOVE the way it runs now that is is working.
0pen choke then prime twice then close choke,your welcome
thank you
for me auto tune give to low or to high fuel mixture .
chinese things
Thanks for watching and sharing. Mine have been fantastic since resolved
@@oakiewoodsman and what's was the problem with your saw ?? I iść cuz its old subject .
the next video in the series covers it but basically, the repair IMO was really unknown
Keep the old adjustable carb saws going. Before 2030 they will have the ability to turn all those chipped saws off. And they will.
I think there is a push to shift to electric however, I do not believe they can remotely turn this saw off. It does not have the radio equipment in order to do that. They really are quite “dumb” in terms of technology. Appreciate you watching!
The only way to fix the husky is to buy a 590 echo Timberwolve
I have a 620p. Different saws for different cutting styles. Thanks for watching!
Go to the dealer en let it aidle faster.
Thanks for watching. I don’t think AutoTune is tunable like that. Appreciate the comment.
👍🆙OW, Good morning!
😬
That sucks! If Husqvarna needs more info/evidence than this 2 allow a replacement saw WTF
Question being, at this point, what would you prefer, the shop 2 replace the coil and see if that fixes it, ask 4 a replacement or ask 4 a refund?
Good morning sir!
Let me get back to you on that one. That is being tossed around in my head.
Chainsaws are a lot like Motorcycles, if you get one you better learn to wrench on it, or you will get screwed eventually....it's just not financially reasonable to pay someone to repair Either one....if you can do it yourself, you'll make out like a bandit.
I agree. I try to do everything for myself

@@oakiewoodsman Man, this one is a crazy one - I'm still thinking it's something in the fuel system - just seemed odd that it ran fine until you stopped and added fuel to it? Did that flush some fines past the filter and stop up the carb??

Saw has 2 hours on it and runs great till warm.

Not yet, at the dealer
Acts like weak coil. They worsen as they heat up.

You must understand how these saws work it’s new technology and they do not like to ran hard when hot. first thing I noticed how fast you are cutting no way possible to cut a tree down and buck that fast and it’s not like a wood splinter leaving it running the entire time I started with stihl and I love all my saws but honestly they all cut differently in different situations husky cuts faster so if you in a bucket of felling you may need a faster cut stihl has more torque so hard wood or big wood you can really force them through the wood my opinion is to give it some time to break in because all saws cut so much better after break in good luck man it will work out
Appreciate the comment and watching the video! This was not being too hard on this saw. I was cutting pine. Just imagine if you were actually working a saw? So, this saw is now repaired and working well. I have put it through some long hard bucks with a 28" bar fully burried in oak in the Oklahoma Heat. Saw has been performing awesomely. I always run sharp chain and make sure things are operating correctly. Thanks again and have a good one. Stay safe!
My money is on a bad coil.
Appreciate your opinion and thank you for watching. I think you are onto the something. Husky told my dealer to reflash it and send it home. What do you think about that? 🤨
My 372 holzforma runs 100% better than that thing, which is crazy for the money they charge for them saws 🤔🤔n ppl talk shit about china saws , but will buy everything else from china , but a saw that’s 1/4 the price o heck no 😆
I am thinking that I will probably add some kit saws back into my rotation for the reason of good performance/$. When you say runs better are you talking about performance or reliablity or Tune? I would argue that if you are running a good quality clone with a base delete and muffler mod with an oem carb, it could very well Perform better and be very reliable. The tune however will NOT compare as long as the AutoTune is functioning as it should. As the day progresses and the temps change, a carb and screw driver cannot compare to the AutoTune setup (as long as it is working properly). Please keep in mind, this is a 60cc saw Not a 70cc. If you had the opportunity to run it side my side with a 28" on it it would be slower than your 372. As far as fatigue and comfort, the 372 is simply NOT as smooth. So again, running better is subjective. I like the the OLD stuff and the new stuff.
I also hear ya on the China thing. Companies take advantage of the low production price and charge us a premium for their products. I will say however that a company like Apple can and had in the past produced VERY good products out of China but they also have the expertise, knowledge and buying power to negotiate a better result from various manufactures. Many suppliers with varying quality control/capabilities and price points. Thanks for watching
I like my husky but also stihl and echo too. There’s so much variety they all make good equipment and all have their own differences like with anything. All in preference and ergonomics. Also if we have equipment and use it even with proper preventative maintenance something will fail eventually. Sorry you had trouble and I hope your dealer was good to you. I purchased 2 and ported one of the g372xp holzfforma clones and they do run great but like you said it doesn’t beat an auto tune/mtronic Thanks for the video and take care
I just asking did u do the steps to set the auto tune on it right,
I cannot remember if I edited that part out of discussing why I did not do a Field reset. Essentially the field reset is a last resort. I believe there is a reason there is no mention of it in the manual. The saw can and will tune itself automatically to the conditions. The whole issue here is the saw is in tune and runs and isles great. Basically something is changing over time and the system simply cannot operate enough to keep the saw running. Appreciate the comment. I do have a other video where the saw was acting up in the same way, did a field reset and and it did nothing to remedy the issue.
Trade it in. I have had 2 562xp with no problems. Starts cold on 3rd pull. Restarts 1st pull.
When you shut saw off, just pull to restart. Don't fast idle like the old saws.
No need to prime it either.
I was doing that based off of Afleetcommand saying that getting “cooler” fuel into the carb and making it easier to start. My 545 runs just like you stated. It did great yesterday in storm cleanup. Thanks for the comments!
