My old 346xp, 357xp and 365 do not have P-bulbs and they start just fine.
Now the new 346xp with bulb is very quick to crank. Just sayin...
562xp re-released!

It may have been one of the first releases as the new ones keep getting pushed back
The tool to adjust the crab cost 360.00

I find this unlikely with the timing of the sale and the fact that other dealers are starting to get them now too.

What do you find unlikely??? :msp_confused:

I was thinking he meant that this was a saw that hadn't had the recall done on it, but after looking at his post I guess he just meant that it was one of the first waves that got recalled and was being rereleased. My mistake.

Post the serial number of the saw! :smile2:

Looks great, in an alien sort of way, lol.
Primer bulb? Yeah, okay... Outboard clutch I can deal with, but why the special tools to get 'em off? I made my own for some but...
Only thing I wonder about is the oiler adjustment. Seems rather vulnerable to a broken chain just whackin' it right off.
Otherwise, sweet!

Looks like it was made about 10 weeks later than the ones that were recalled then, but still earlier than my 560xpg. 966 etc is the "part number" of the complete saw (less bar and chain), and has nothing to do with the serial number. :msp_wink:

The outboard clutch is there to keep the bar closer to the centre of gravity of the saw, and contributes to the great handling of the saw! :msp_thumbup::smile2:
No special tools are really required, just a suitable chisel or flat screwdriver (I prefere a blunted wood chisel), and something suitable to hit it sharply with (hammer etc).
Odd, I thought many Stihls also used Zama carbs...

Made during the 37th week of this year
I had some on order and the last time I put the number into the part server it came up min January 2012 I called and had them cancel my orders on the saw.
They did not say anything about saws shipping now. Nor did I ask. It is possible that I was way down on the list.
Please do not ask about my dealer ship but I have given enough clues that it should not be hard to find me

Still waiting for some new videos with a 562Xp in some wood, with the just released new saw's.......and what happen on the rev boost ? ...........do the new one's come with it or not?.....Or is it just smoke and mirrors?...... can't make my mine up between a 555 or the 562Xp...need a little help.
Sold my 361 and Ms260 after getting and modding my new 346XP can't say enough good things about that saw ,ran about fifthy tanks though it so far..... Did keep my old 044 thats going no where any time soon, love that saw. Just need to get a fix for some CAD, with a saw in between the 044 and the 346XP.....Like both the 555 and 562XP, I wish the states were gettings the 560XP , i think that would be my choice.

Nice saw
After no rev boost and the weight i dont see it to be such a slam dunk over a 362
The hype made everyone giddy

They should knock $100 off the price then!

Makes the 555 more attractive for sure.
I handled a 555 the other day, felt lighter than a 357xp.
Since this dealer as Stihl, I did a bit more comparing. It's closer in size and weight to the ms261, than the ms362.

Videos are uploading now. I made a short vid of just some regular firewood cutting. I made a video comparing the 357xp against the 562xp cutting some cookies too.
