Neither am I after today's laceration :msp_sad:
But having run it against other saws, I definitely want it. Good thing I didn't sell the 365 yet!
Maybe I'll venture into more mods now.... :msp_biggrin:
The 562xp in the flesh. So to speak.

I don't fully understand it either. One thing I liked about the STIHL saws was their obsessive and consistent German engineering. Same 'master control lever' on all saws. One bar nut fit all saws. One spark plug fit all saws. One T27 tool, plus a scrench, would let you tear down most of a saw, etc. So I was surprised when they went to different cover fasteners. Apparently, the 'Pro' saws use the quarter turn fastener and the 'homeowner' and 'intermediate use' saws use threaded fasteners. Might have been a cost thing (? seems like a small cost!), or might have been to discourage homeowners from getting into their saws.
Seems like a poor decision to me.

On what legal grounds do they have the right to confiscate some ones saw? If I was to buy a new saw and was asked to return it I would refuse, unless of course it was a safety issue. 562xp????What 562xp????Never heard of it

What are the dealers obligated to do? Do they have to give the guy a loaner and then promise to give back another 562? I guess relatively few actually got out?
If the federal gov't wants it because it's illegal, I suppose they'll take it. I don't think Husky is just taking saws back for the heck of it. Pretty sure if there were a recall issue they'd have the dealer network perform the necessary repairs and call it good, far less expensive that way.
Wish I could tell ya, didn't have that problem. Gonna see what they'll do for me though, wouldn't mind a 372 to play with in the meantime.

Thanks Spike.
Just hang onto that new saw till we see each other at the next GTG.
I'm in no hurry!
Ya it was nasty. 3 internal stitches and 6 external. Got to see what a tendon looks like, and even see it move when I moved my hand. Creeped me out a bit. Probably the worst cut I've had lol and they've got my wrist in some brace so I don't tear the wound further and/or rip the stitches out via movement. I had no idea that it would be this bad when it happened. I figured it was a cut, a bad one at that, but I would be able to get back to work relatively quickly with some stitches and a band-aid, but that isn't going to happen
No idea how they'd deal with that. I didn't actually sell one in the time I had them. I'm sure they'd want some sort of sales receipt copy for proof, and most people aren't going to pay cash for a $750 saw. Some sort of paper trail would exist at that point. I would simply tell them not my problem, unless they want to consider paying me, and paying me well, for my time to track them down.

You call that scratch nasty, ha, woose!!,LOLOL, messing with ya. I got one that took 25 stitches inside and 40 on the outside. Now thats a real scratch I tells ya, hurt like a MOFO for well over a week.
Sorry to hear the news about the 562. From what I can detect between the secret code language you been talking its something to do with emissions, is so that sucks. It will be ironed out...

Interesting that there is no recall on the 555. The jug on the 560/562 has a different part number than the 555, so maybe there might be an emissions issue with a longer intake and/or exhaust duration. Other than the crank stuffers, the saws are essentially the same.
Perhaps someone could take the timing numbers off the 562 before sending it back. It may be that the returned 562s will have timing numbers closer to the 555. If we had the numbers before the recall, it wouldn't be hard to replicate a non-recall saw.

Ouch! Now that's a cut!! I've got a bit of movement back so that it doesn't constantly ache, but it's got a little ways to go before I can really use it. Certainly glad it wasn't any worse!
Not so sure it was a pass/fail issue with the emissions, but more of a paperwork issue. It may or may not have something to do with the ignition system as the coils are different involving the Revboost. Wish I had a definite answer for ya but those are the differences I can think of. Oh wait, I'm surprised someone hasn't said something about THE ILLEGAL, EMISSIONS TRASHING, SOFT AS A TWINKIE SILVER PAINT causing the problems!!!!!!
opcorn: opcorn: :spam: I'm glad it didn't also involve the 555's, at least we have something of that generation to play with :msp_biggrin:
Thank you.

Hopefully not - let's hope that TK is right, and it just is a paperwork issue!
I think all you guys are nuts I ran the 562xp at a GTG a short while back it most definitely hit the shelves. :yoyo::yoyo::yoyo::yoyo:
