Bought a 576 AT

Cj's would have had you hooked up hopefully your local shop will get it right when you get it back and it's running like a raped ape again you will be happy with your decision on the at

Lord, Mingo, your saw shop sounds sorta third world...

Geez I never thought of it that way, but now that you mentioned it they are awful close to the New York State border.

Mingo , your thread is greatly appreceated . I go to the cookie cutter section for entertainment not for great advice. People that work witth equipment every day all day should only be allowed to give any opinion. I split all my wood with my saw, 576xpat,288xp and such. The funniest thing is all the other brand users are telling me I should buy x brand saw , but they use a log splitter cause "thats to hard on the saw".

I been running 2 576xp saw laitily. one with autotune and one without. Both have had Major carb issues. both have been pressure and vac tested many times. Im on carb no. 5 for the non autotune one, and 2 carbs for the auto tune one. Same problems, flooding, hesitation, dieing at idle when hot. WTF husqvarna??????? I really liked these saws, but anymore there carbs have been junk. I have even tried resetting inlet needle lever hight many times in all the carbs with no changes....back to the 372xp and ms440 for me:frown:

I don't mean to be a smart ass, but my 576 autotune would stall @ idle when warm but because the crappy stock clutch full of holes would plug with dust causing the bog and quit when you let off throttle.I cut a lot of dead Beech here. Changed clutch to solid aftermarket for 372xp and no issue since.

Yes mine did try to spin the chain at idle a couple of times while cutting hemlock, but too late now, dem saws are DOWN the road:msp_smile:

Called them Friday they said the coil was in, and they would put it in this week.

That's what happened here last year we never got back in the woods till the end of June because of all the rain. The wind has been blowing every day for the last 3 weeks which really eccelerates the drying process.

 

[Oldtimer]

The wind IS a major pain in the arse... I cut a pine and it sails away like a kite.. Gusts of 25-30 mph here, every dang day for a couple weeks..

Lets hope no fires get going..they won't be stopped in these conditions.

Picked up the 576 yesterday afternoon ran a 1/2 tank of gas through it cutting up some firewood at the house. Ran really good we will see how it does in the woods today. When they replaced the autotune carb it would not run right with the old coil they had to replace the coil.

 

[mingo]

Put it to work today it ran great no problems got to put a new chain on tonite going from a ck to a jg.

 

[tramp bushler]

72 , , 73 or 75 ??

72 , , 73 or 75 ??

Sorry it's a 72jg the ck is nice when loping the tops doesn't grab the small brush as much as the jg, but I like the jg less teeth to sharpen. I file the ck with a round file.

 

[mingo]

Hot today got up to 86. Had a little starting problem with the 576 would pop with the coke and then when you pushed it in wouldn't rev up acted like it was not getting gas and then stall did this a few times before I got it going.

Damn it Mingo....you sure that isn't a Dolmar with a husky top cover on it?
If mine gives me 1/10th the trouble yours has given you, it's going right back to the dealer and he's going to give me a shiny new 372.....and to think, my 575 was 100% from day one to the last cut.

Is that a cherry I see in that picture? At least the forester is marking decent wood for you. Don't need to make 13 hitches to pull a thousand feet.

The 576 ran great for 6 months that's 5 longer than the Dolmar. That was the best cherry on the job most of the wood is low grade hardwood. I have to find a market for poplar pulp looks like I got 1 or 2 trailer loads to cut.
