The OP has put a lot of work into providing alot of interesting and pertinant information regarding the 562xp. Has gone above and beyond the scope of any post. I would just like to say Thank YOU. :smile2:
 
Thank you for the video. I wasn't expecting it tonight. :cheers: It does seem to be closer than I would have thought. I'm sure both will only get stronger with some more runtime. :msp_thumbup:
 
With my work schedule the weekends are the only time I have to get daylight videos. If anybody wants to see something that I haven't shown, just ask. I got to admit I was surprised how smooth the 562 was with the 24 inch bar. I never dreamed it would hold it's rpms that good.
 
Minus the rev boost are they really that different

The .5 hp(+) difference is still there, the revboost has nothing to do with max power. Judged on how my 560xpg responds to the throttle, I believe the 560 still has the revboost though. If the 562 doesn't, I guess it is related to EPA, and US only.
 
Scott, thank you for the info and vids on this saw. Well done man!

I've been bouncing back and forth between the 555 and 562xp,
now I'm leaning toward the xp......again. :D

this is an auto Tune so it will work like new cars with ECU It will adjust mix and maybe timing according to several factors. The only down side is the tool to make the adjustments. I believe it cost around 350.00 dollars
our trusty screw driver is out the window as there are no jets to to use it on.
So it to the dealer to get it right. You may want to bring a jar of Vaseline with you for future adjustments. All or some of this may not be correct
 
Considering the autotune compensates for porting I don't think many will need the tool for adjusting the carbs anyway.
 
Regarding that flat spot when accelerating, the carb may respond better if the POP is dropped a bit (take a couple of passive loops off the metering spring). The Autotune is unlikely to be able to respond to a quick opening of the throttle. A drop in the POP will allow the metering needle to come off the seat quicker and fix the flat spot.

No "flat spot" on my 560xpg though......
 
Is there anything we are missing out on with rev-boost gone? With the 562 no longer having rev-boost the 555 seem more attractive in my eyes, especially when price is taken into considerations.

I had to sell my 359 recently due to $$ needed for a move and am very interested in replacing it with a 555 or a 562, hoping the 560 will come to the US soon.

Great thread so far and even better actual comparisons involving the saw it replaces, 357xp, and the new size up, the 365/372! Rep sent.
 
These Husky stratos come with very low blowdown - like only 12-13 degrees (I'm waiting for someone to degree these jugs). With that low blowdown time, a generous muffler mod is needed to drop the backpressure as quickly as possible.
