If I can I will get a degree wheel on the 562 tommorrow night. I'll keep ya guys posted. I wish I had an adapter for the small sparkplug hole. This thing has really strong compression pulling it over. More than the 357 for sure.

An important measurement on stratos is the strato timing. You can take a transfer cover off to watch the piston cutaway appear over the bottom of the transfer port. (removing the cover also helps to see the transfer timing)
Most, if not all, stratos have longer strato timing than the intake timing. The longer strato timing helps to charge the cylinder with fresh air (the EPA likes that). Unfortunately, the shorter intake timing short-changes the potential of the intake timing.
The crankcase can not begin to make crankcase compression until both intake and strato ports are closed. Therefore, the 'intake' timing is essentially the longer strato timing.
A mod on stratos is to match the intake timing to the longer strato timing so that they both open and close at the same time.

Compression on my 562 was 145-150 psi.
And does the recoil sticker say revboost on it?
Also, there are no adjustments to make, even with te software link. Just monitoring and resets, so don't worry about a dealer messing up your saw with adjustments, and don't worry about not being able to adjust it.

Don't bet on that . As this part 576 69 23-01 Engine diagnostic tool cost more then 300.00 and not available till 2/27/12 If part of the AT systems fails, this is what needed to find the bad part.
Many years back Jonsered tried something like this on a 2051 or close to that number. They did not make many of them. Yes I know times have changed but this is still a chain saw not a car. I think chainsaws have it bit rougher then a car do when it comes to use.
I am a little old school and would go with the new 372xp over this saw too hard too part with my screw driver

Thanks for the vid! That just re-affirms for me that I want the 562XP.

I have heard that before, but only in the form of rumors. Since you say it that way, I guess that Stihl now owns Zama, then?

So.....the 562XP no longer has the rev boost feature? When and how did this happen?

I will wait until I know more, before I make any more statements on this - but rumors have been out for a while....
I take it then you've researched the AutoTune and know how it works and it is diagnosed/repaired? The cost of the diagnostic tool is just what it is, and probably more in reason than let's say, a crankcase splitter that only fits certain models and is priced over $100?? AutoTune is the future and will be plugged into on a regular basis as saws come in for service. It's datalogging capabilities are fantastic and I'm more than looking forward to working with itover the next person's word. Run the saw for a while, you'll forget you even had a screwdriver.

Hi,
This is my first post though I've been lurking here for a while:msp_smile::msp_smile:
First of all I want to thank all of you for your lively and informative debate, especially a big thanks to 2stroked2smoke for getting all his photos, videos and first hand experience out to all of us so fast.
Thanks to you guys (or perhaps no thanks) I just came home with a beautiful 562XP. For the last 10 days I had been following
2S2S"s Ebay journey and I was waiting for him to get the saw, use it and to report back to the forum.
My dealer in NH actually received the saws last Friday but I waited through the weekend so I could hear what you guys had to say about it.
I'm a homeowner with 15 acres of wooded land and I cut about 6 - 8 cords a year. I've been doing it with my 353 but finally decided to go with a bigger saw .
$600 was my budget and I was all set to buy the 555 because in reality a 562XP is more saw than I need. Having said that for the $80 I couldn't resist having an XP - sorry. I also looked at the 465 Rancher but then I figured for $90 more I can get a 555 then for $80 more...
Anyway I just used it for about 30 minutes with a 20 " bar and it's a very robust saw, it's balance is nice thought a tad nose heavy.
The lack of gyro forces is very nice, the saw is quite stable.
Tomorrow I should be able to get out and use it for 4 or 5 hours so I'll have some better info to provide.
Again thank you all for this great informative forum, I hope that this newbie layperson landowner will be able to add to it.
Please keep in mind that I'm a homeowner with all of my experience my 353 and old 141.

looks like the exhaust duration is 153, trans is 131. 11 degrees of blowdown. Don't wanna take off the intake yet. Muffler mod sounds awesome! I'll get a video soon.

No more restriction.
I was just at my local ####ty dealer(manchester) and inquired about it with the parts counter girl. She had to ask someone who wouldnt even come out from hiding even though there was a potential customer. Place has no interest any time I go in there to sell you anything and act like they are doing you a favor. Anyway they said "any day".
Where in NH are you?
