562

[mingo]

What did the owners manual say? I don't have mine.

Set the choke, decomp, push the air purge diaphram 6 times.

Do they say anything for a hot start?

Do they say anything for a hot start?

Set the fast idle, decomp, press the air purge around 6 times. I haven't had a problem with warm starts just when it runs out of gas,but since I read the manual it's been starting better. The 562 loses rpms when it's about to run out of fuel the 576a/t just quits gives you no warning.

My 576 AT runs a bit higher RPMs for a minute before it quits. Not like a carbed saw, more subtle.

Also, my brother says that purge pump thing will blow the diaphram out of the carbs on the 346XPs they use at his company..he says one pump cold, after that don't use it. He actually never uses it, and his saw has lasted longer than all the rest of them. He works for Lewis Tree.

My 562 has been flawless. Fantastic saw!

I like the look of that Tech Lite bar.

I like the look of that Tech Lite bar.

If there ever was a bar that belonged on a particular saw, this is it.

20" Tech Lite, light weight and very high quality! :msp_smile:

I'll have to research that bar a bit more, is it a 18 or a 20? and how much did it run you?

It's 20" and only available right now in 20" and 28". Nicest bar I've ever used.

Mine came with the saw from Spike60. I'd check with him on price.

Do they seem to hold up well? Are they much lighter?

Do they seem to hold up well? Are they much lighter?

Yes, they are noticeably lighter than a solid 20" Husky/Oregon bar. Lighter than a 18"...

Does seem to hold up very well, but I've only run 10-12 tanks through the saw yet, so not enough use to tell. A close look tells it's very high quality though.

That little 340 looks to be earning its keep! I cut some pine like that last week, sure seemed nice after a month of cutting hardwood pulp. We are working a little north I believe of where you are in Colrain MA. Nice looking job your doing there.
