You sure I put it back together right?:hmm3grin2orange:
Extra bolts are in the "I'm not sure" bin.

As long as there is a discount if it arrives with the "I'm not sure" parts in a little bag.
Did you get a chance to weigh it?
I know this is a loaded question, but I was wondering how much it really weighs. I had a 357XP that ran great, but it was right at 13 lbs pho dry - inching up on the 372. I know the official specs say that the 555 is a lot lighter, but husky has been known to fudge a bit on advertised weight.
Thanks!

That is one of the two concerns I have with the design. The other being the composite antivibe attached to the handle.
I have more than two tanks through it already. I found myself walking back tot he wood pile twice since reassembly.

I've had this question asked already. If a local scale can be found, I will weigh it.
I know a couple hippies but I'm sure there scale can't handle more than a couple ounces
#### em!!

You don't leave much to the imagination LMAO Thanks
O I don't care about rep. Not even sure what its for really. I enjoy this stuff so I'd do it even if no one else cared.
Side note, it will be hard to find the ambition to tear down the 562 after this. What really is the difference?

Positive rep sent. I've wanted to take a look inside these 555/560s for a while. I was surprised the transfer port was as close to the exhaust port as it was. If you got a picture of the pattern on top of the piston I'd like to see it.
The 450 has the transfers closer to the back of the cylinder. Even after I made them wider by 12.5% the pattern still has a slight 'tongue' pattern to it. I wonder if the more forward postition of the transfers allows a more uniform scavenging. I would be concerned with some short circuiting that close to the exhaust, but the entry angle of the port may prevent that - the piston pattern will give us an indication.
Too bad you didn't get the timing figures for the jug, the 560 jug has a different part number and it would be interesting to see what, if any, timing differences there are between the 555 and the 560.
I'd also like to know the size of the venturi on the 555/560 C1M carb. The 576 carb has a 13.5mm venturi and would fit on the 555/560. Perhaps there is a spec sheet that indicates the venturi size.
Don't be put off by the small size of the intake port. The strato intake system is comprised of both the intake and the strato port. The strato 'intake' ports are the transfer ports themselves, so the combined width of the intake is far greater than a conventional two-stroke.
