Mastermind And The 562XP

[hamish]

Modded saws seem to be affected in greater numbers. Most likely due to the extra flow.

Had a few beers and I understand him completely. I too find it difficult to concentrate when there is ***** walking around.

"the EL46 AT module with no updates or revisions"................have to ask what revision it was and what is it currently?

Definitely due to the extra flow. Was/Is the EL46 an attempt to refine emissions? Most likely yes, looking back at other measures used in the past.

The modded vs non modded is the biggest "issue" I at present see, with respect to the "issue".

Regretfully this has morphed into a near 562 is a pos don't buy it till things are sorted out. Even hacks up here in Canada read AS, but most cannot read the important parts of it.

Modded is where the "issue" is most prevalent. Its an audience but not your bread and butter as a dealer, yet in the interim its eating away at it.

Demand more from your tech support, ask for referrals abroad. I am now in the same tech support, customer service stream as you south of the border, some things are much better and others are not.

No updates or revisions meaning i take the module off the malfunctioning 46 and install it on the 44, and without making any changes to it, the saw ran great. This tells me it's clearly a mechanical/physical problem and not a result of auto tune.

I tried so hard to speak clearly lol. That would normally be cahbraida....

It really is an awesome saw. Hesitation or not. I can tell ya that its a minor hesitation that several great husky gurus and dealers have been working on. I have or do own 066 046 460 660 576 346 550 576 361 and a bunch of other saws.
And this 562 is hands down my goto saw!
Would I buy another one? Absolutely! Would I have it ported? Absolutely!
So for the guys on the fence dont let this minor fix that doesn't happen too often prevent you from buying a great saw.
I heard from an 044 owner that the 562 ported out cut his 044. And I believe it. It will cut with my 460 up to a barful of frozen rock maple. I am not a dealer not trying to seel you a saw. Want more proof pm me.

I stopped into Tom's shop tonight to discuss the saw. I'm pretty sure the discussion went something like this:
This is just for the rest of you so you can understand our "culture" a little better.

Has anybody else noticed more hesitation problems when it's really cold outside? Mine ran good in the summer and fall (only had it since Feb 2013), but really notice the hesitation more when it's cold outside. I'm in Oklahoma, so I realize my cold might not be everybody else's cold. but when it's about 35 or below, I notice the hesitation. We've had a few warmer days here lately and the hesitation was gone. Mine is tolerable however, it just bogs for a second or two, doesn't die. What I end up doing when it's cold is walking around blipping the throttle when I'm not cutting (keeps the bog away). My wife thinks I'm Tim the "toolman" Taylor gone mad when she goes with me to the woods.

 

[stihlonlynow]

Lol. Yes now that you mention it. I was just telling one of the builders here that I didn't notice it when I first got the saw. I didn't correlate the temperature difference. But it was above 40 back then. Is it a temp related or is it a runtime related?
Is your saw ported?

 

[LogSawyer74]

My saw is not ported and it also ran fantastic when I first got it. I cut quite a bit in Feb through May of 2013. then didn't cut much again until about October. Didn't notice the hesitation problem until about November or so. I've probably got about 25 hours on it or so if that helps. had some problems with warm starts early on, but I figured out it was operator error and haven't had trouble with that since.

 

[stihlonlynow]

I am going to put the winter covers on them. Maybe that will help.

Pretty much sounds like every ****ing saw video I've evah ****ing seen in this god -****ed place. Sorry, watched the video

Do any of these M-Tronic and Auto-Tune saws have the summer/winter shutters on them?

Was curious about that. Thanks.

Yes, they all do just like any other saw. Gotta keep things thawed like anything else. Recommended I believe at freezing and below per the owners manual.

On that note, I've looked at mine a couple times lol. Should probably put it on and see what happens.

 

[Philbert]

Most of the cutting I do is above freezing. When it gets colder, I usually remember to bring the winter weight oil, but don't always think about the summer/winter shutters. And then I have to remember to re-set them in the Spring!

Where do you get the plug for for warm weather use? I didn't get one with either 562 or 550

Look in your Owner's Manual. Most saws have a small slide, or hinged or removable shutter built into the air filter cover, that redirects air around the carb to heat it up, or not.

[KenJax Tree]

My 346's have the shutter to open but the 562 and 550 have a circle you knock the center out of and put a plug in to close off when it warms up but i didn't get the plugs

I've brought a bunch of those saws, and have yet to see the plugs you're talking about.....weird.

 

[TK]

Should have come with the saws.... In the owners kits.

550's anyways....
