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.

Your saws will run quite a bit leaner in cold weather.

So is this winter kit really important even if my saws don't get set down in the snow. I've been running them in below zero temps without problems or carb icing

The plugs I got came with the winter shutter kits. I just tapped the knockout out And put the cover on and it didn't seem to help. Cut about two dozen cookies. For the 550 and 562 xpg's the plugs are in the winter cover kit.

I never got any kits.

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

Randy,
They come with every 500 series saws, in the box right from the factory. How to install them is is even explained in the owners manual, but hey who reads them anyways right!

Would they really pack them differently for different territories?

If someone was buying a 562 is there anyway to know if they are getting the newer version? Date code?

Thanks.

all the auto tune husqvarnas that I have are the latest version with the new screw in flippy cap

 

[stihlonlynow]

What's a screw in flippy cap?

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.

You guys are Canadians that moved to Maine for the sole reason of cheaper beer.

That's a pretty awesome video if I say so myself.

My 550 has flippy caps and so far no failures.
