Tzed250's Husqvarna 550XP

Nice work! Vid later?

Watch them dang transfer cap screws also.

The actual cover hit on mine.

The actual cover hit on mine.

Yes, you are correct. The 550 cap hits and the 562 screw hits.

 

[Tzed250]

On the flywheel?

The case. Pen tip pointing at it.

Mitch, I don't know if mine was hitting there but I shaved a few thou off of the cover just in case.

I put the kibosh on the air leak by putting the base gasket back. Not totally sure where it came from, but the case half split line at the back of the cylinder isn't totally flush so that may have played a part in it.

The saw now starts, revs, cuts, and idles down as it should.

Cold compression #s and cutting video tomorrow hopefully.

The squish ended up at .018"

BTW, if you need a plug for the decomp port to check compression if you think the valve is leaking the spark plug will thread right into it

A new video, this time with the saw pulling an 8 pin sprocket. I read a small gain over the 7 pin, which is good in this size wood. This is a limbing saw, so with the RevBoost doing its job this is the go to combo for .325 chain.

Some of you might notice that my status has changed and that my signature is different. I look forward to serving the AS community to the best of my ability!

Saw is looking good. Good luck with the sponsorship.

Now put a loop of 3/8 and 7T on and see how she gains in that same stick.

 

[mweba]

Very nice, John. Very nice.

Thanks Niko! I live near Beckley in south central WV, 2200 ft. up on a plateau.

What's not to like about that?!!!

 

[Tzed250]

I know that many are against the additional electronics, but if you just handed the saw to a good operator that didn't have a clue about AT they would be bound to say "Boy this thing runs great, and it's tuned just right!"

BTW, I'm going to assume that you are OK with the "limited" coil on the the 550XP?

 

[blsnelling]

Sure, since I don't have to tune it.

 

[Tzed250]

Yeah, that's what I was getting at

It does its own "timed cuts in wood" every few microseconds

The 550 is running very well John. Good on you for becoming a site sponsor. The AS community has been good to me, and I like seeing guys like yourself stepping up and doing business on the boards.

Now don't be taking all my work. :msp_wink:

Thanks Randy! I don't think you'll feel the heat anytime soon

Something new

Sorry about the sound, the iPhone couldn't hang.

[blsnelling]

That's pretty cool. I like that. Don't those have an hour meter built into them?

 

[Tzed250]

Yes, a non-resettable hour meter, and peak RPM recall at shutoff. Worked perfect right out of the box.
