Thanks Todd! I have a 550XPG here I’m going to rebuilding soon and hope to get a bunch of that filmed.

I had a 920 years ago but sold it. Probably shouldn’t have!

Thank you! I had a 920 at one time I bought used, never actually cut with it. Sold it and probably shouldn’t have.

There was a guy at the Paul Bunyon show with a 910 that had been ported and had an expantion chamber on it. That thing would run. If I could find someone that would do a good job on it I would have mine done. I still have my 910, It is 42 years old and still starts within 5 pulls, even if it sits 2 years. Never been tuned up, original plug and filter. Back in those days I was cutting at least a cord a day after my regular 8-4 job.\ @@BacktoBob1

Thank you!

2255 was the same as a 455 Rancher when I was selling them. That was a really popular saw!

670 Champ was cool, wasn’t there a “Super Champ” too?

@@BacktoBob1 Mmmmm....don't remember? I really liked Jonsered! Their saws always ran great! The 670 is my 'novelty' saw now. It's hard to find parts for so I use it to drop a few firewood trees from time to time. And just read my comment from yesterday, I promise I was sober!! LOL!!! Looking forward to more content!

This is a good idea, thanks Bert!

Thank you!

That’s awesome, thanks for watching!

Nice! I like this oil too, use it in all my saws it’s really tacky.”

Thanks for watching Chris!

That is not a primer, it’s an air purge. It takes fuel to and through the carburetor and back into the fuel tank. An old style primer bulb for example just dumps fuel into the carb or air filter. This is different and you can’t flood it by doing that too much. Hot start you absolutely can use the fast idle setting and it is recommended by Husqvarna and any competent saw tech. Especially the 550 and 562 style because people would try to hit start them at idle, get angry, then choke it and game over it’s flooded. I’m factory trained in Husqvarna saws so I know a thing or two. :) Good point on the saw bar lifting the tip before tightening everything back up.

@@BacktoBob1 if what you're saying is true then all the small engines have air purgers. But again like I said even the manufacturers of chainsaws, weed eaters, leaf blowers, and ect. like Stihl, Husqvarna, Makita, and ect. are wrong cause they call them primer bulbs. Just like the mechanics that works on them. Or the fact that if you look up the part on line on the company that makes them they call them primer bulbs. So who's wrong. So since your the only one saying they are air purgers I'll say it again your wrong. Especially since you don't even know that much about starting them without keeping them in high idle with the chain brake on or how to tension the chain properly. Face it you don't know what your talking about and you've told many people that came in your repair shop the wrong thing. This is the thing that's wrong with anyone being able to make videos and putting them on social media platforms, they don't look up the info and think that what they are calling or saying is 100% correct when it's not. Face it if you have been told you're wrong and that person has told you exactly why and that it can be proven face the facts that you put out wrong info and need to correct it. And quit trying to blow smoke up people's buts with the wrong info, cause it's going to make they look like an idiot when they go to a mechanic and they say exactly what you said. You will loose followers from giving out the wrong info and people will start using your videos for what not to do or listen to.

@@chadrogers4635 Check it out. www-static-nw.husqvarna.com/hbd/tdrdownload/v2/pub000093387/doc000236287/OM/iH_9hIu9pdrmXN19qw-10MZNlBM?httproute=True Page 2, item number 3. Page 13, step 3. Page 13, they also mention the hot start procedure. Have a good night 🙂

As long as it is for the same line of saw, and you’re running the same chain (.050 or .058, etc) yep you should be good!

Mainly because I hadn’t run the saw in 6 months. Normally I don’t let it run that long on fast idle, but I also wanted to emphasize using the chain brake from a safety standpoint.

Why thank you ☺️

I’m not sure, I know there’s a “Mark II” version of the 550XP now, that has to have some improvements over the first gen.

I love the XPG saws. Heated handles would be nice.

But actually, I do. Normally only for a few seconds, and I was pointing out safety. I’d rather replace a clutch and or drum than a hand or leg. In 20 years of running saws I’ve never had a problem. Thanks for watching!
