Hi I saw a Donny walker video a while back he was was working on either a 562 ora 550 what he. Found was the grounding wire that goes from the coil to the on off switch was chafed where it went through the case and intermittently shorting onto the case worth checking out he also ground the case slightly to make more room for the wires to pass after he fixed it just trying to help

First thing I would have done is clean or replace air filter. You were making an overload of fine dust with the hand file chain in my opinion.

im a stihl guy but i upgraded my 026 to a 550xp mk2 , there is a lot to be said for a coffee can full of saw parts that will leave you set for decades with no dealer help. its a fine saw but wishin i had the carb version of the 261. upgraded the 044 to ms400. all great saws but i like old school carb.. its hard to beat a flawless low hour 10mm 044. the ms 400 is fine.

I've seen other guys have issues when air filter get dirty but I've had no issues with mine

I have a 562XP that I bought back in 2016. It almost immediately had hot start issues. The ONLY way I could get it to start was by taking the plug out and letting it cool off for a few mins. I took it into my dealer and they did a flash update on the auto-tune controller. Its ran perfectly ever since. I've put on the updated filter kit and a pipe. The auto-tune did its changes after and Ive even changed my mix from 50:1 to 40:1. I think it actually runs better with the new mix. The pipe helps keep things cooler as well. I haven't had a single issue once the controller was flashed/updated. I love my 562XP. Good luck!

👍👍maybe go with the basics- plug and fuel filter change and clean the air filter. Do them one at a time and see if you can determine the issue. Air filter is a free one- just get after it with some soap and water! Last 1/2 of the video- inability to purge or the purge not filling is a good indication of a restriction- just an FYI.

air filter has builded a wall of saw dust, clean it, give auto tune a field reset and she will be as good as new

So I’m not a husky tech but I know they were having issues with the fuel filters on the 562/572 letting super fine particles in that can mess up the auto tune system. I’d also triple check the air filter as that hard wood is dusty when cutting so that can cause some issues. It’s hard to say as I’ve never personally had those issues but those are what the dealers have been told to watch for. Other than those and in my experience I’ve never had many issues with those saws, the early 5 series had the crank bearing issues but since that I haven’t seen anything to major. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I don’t run 5 series saws personally in my own collection and my newest saw is my new to me 390xp w😂 and I will never trade it in for a new 585/592. But no matter what great video as always brother, keep up the incredible work❤

Mr Joe, great video showing us these issues with the saw. Im confident you will get it figured out. Its easy to loose confidence in a machine when it acts like that. Definitely makes you want to make sure you carry a backup I dont hand file very often. I try not to. There is definitely an art to it. Im sure with your persistence, you will have the hand filing down pat soon. Im not sure about the issue. It does sound like a fueling issue, but that dont make much sense since sometimes it seems to run decent. Maybe check the fuel filter. I struggle with the wind knocking over my tripods regularly. Glad its not just me Thanks Joe

Hey Oakie, when is the last time you replaced your fuel filter??

I have had no issues with my 562 I got it last fall october of 2023. My dealer did tell me with in a year to bring it back she will plug it in and see if its ok and check for air leaks thats free as long as I have the saw 1 time every year for my life time so I went back and got a 592 same thing 1 time per year she will check it out. 1 guy that has Good Fellers channel on youtube had problems with a 592 and found his fuel lines was kinked cutting of fuel he shortened the fuel line and no more trouble. You are putting out a lot of fine dust that could be plugging up you air cleaner I was never anygood at sharpening with a file I got myself Oregon bench grinder with a CNB wheel 16 years ago I will take a file with me in the wood to touch up if needed. I do a firewood business when I am home I just change the chain with 1 from the grinder. Get the CNB wheel it will last a life time and I get good results every time hope I could helped

It’s a fueling issue it sounds like to me. Fines in the carb, fuel filter restricted . Something like that. The way it kinda just happened is leading me to a restricted circuit in the carb.

Ihave owned and ran huskys for almost 30 years. Currently own husky, stihl, and echo. Iwould not give my echo 620 for 3 new in the box 562 huskies. Too many problems with these saws. A man cant spend hard earned money on equipment and then hope and wander if it will perform when needed. Echo 620 is the best value dollar for dollar in the 60cc class. With that said i love the stihl ms400. Super smooth, lots of power and feels like a smaller saw than it is. I would take that 562 back to the dealer and ask them to make things right.

I feel your frusration. One big thing IS your fault. You know there is a flaw with your saw and you KEEP ON RUNNING IT. Do you ever watch Richard Flag about auto tunes, Husky or Stihl? He says if it is messing up, then STOP! Your auto tune is going nuts trying to compensate for an erratic or intermittent lean condtion. Maybe a crank seal or mating of carb to or other. Its rumming way lean beyond auto tume's abolity to control. By now, I figure you have problems caused by the basic problem and your continued use running so lean. Then again, I have no experience with a 52XP, wo what do I know??? The bulb is a "purge" bulb and pull fuel OUT of the carb, so if saw is over hearing it will pull vapor from over heated fuel or if the fuel line to the carb from tank is leakeing it can be air. I think it is fuel vapor and that is why you rum better on cool start. But. what do I know? I am not there.

I have an older 362 xp the only time ever having a hot start issue was when asking the saw to do more than it was intended to do. milling dry purple heart in summer temps. Have had the auto tune get confused once between extreme temp changes but it quickly tuned itself. repeated full bar cuts with a clogged air filter is asking a bit much of the saw.

I think the one way valve in that plunger was bad. Seemed like it was just pushing fuel back and forth and not sucking up any new. That’s why a full bulb became half bulb when pumping. Was sucking air from top of the tank in what should be return line only. Definitely sounded like a fuel delivery issue to my ears

I’ve run into something similar with my computer saws with winter fuel and warm days in the spring, saw runs great a while then won’t start, lots of pressure in tank dump/ fresh fuel cured. Other thing I noticed is your pumping primer way too fast, push 1sec let out 1sec repeat just a guess . Have seen wrong heat range spark plug once before. Other people have good ideas too. Lots to try!

saw you on Rockhill Farms the other day, and thought I'd stop by, new sub. I'm a big echo fan too.

Very frustrating. If the fuel filter is clean and the fuel lines from tank to carb and carb to purge bulb are free of any pinholes, I'd be suspicious of fines in the carb potentially blocking the internal screen and/or causing an imperfect seal of the flaps on the pumping diaphragm. If you do go to your dealer, you've got great footage for proof!

my thoughts are that this husquarna 5 series have a weak left bearing so if you cutting laying to the left its gonna die fast... just what i heard from ppl. that one bearing its leaving its place somehave and burning that side... if its not the case i just love saws and trying to help.

is your fuel line getting kinked as there was a problem with that happening so they changed the line from a smooth pipe to a reinforced one

Bet that echo 620pw wont ever run like that. I know they start better than that warm too. I know my 590 is likely the best starting and most consistent running saw i own for sure. Mind you i have no self-tuners. I run saws in everything from 0-80°. I have run mostly stihl growing up and some husky and jonsereds in recent years. The echos seem to run better across wider ranges of weather and start better overall. Again, all regular carb saws.

My gut feeling here is that sudden deterioration in the chain caused the computer to get confused. Not saying that malfunction is justified though because chainsaws need to be more resilient than that.

Interesting about the primer bulb issue. I wonder if these 562xp saws aren't set up something like the Stihl 4 mix carbs. If the non replaceable check valves are bad in the carb they will not run right and primer will be about half full and will not prim right and hard to start and not run right. I found pump gas or ethanol fuel ruins carbs in a short time so I switched to VP canned fuel and that fixed my carb problems with all my saws and small engines.

The internet is the only thing keeping Husky alive in the saw business. Guess how many of my mtronic Stihls have been back to the shop? 0

Sawdust in carb is my guess.

Air filter looks clogged. But electronic carbs can be BS. It’s probably the electronic crap.

I think the fuel line might be too long. Take a look and check it’s not linked

Never had any issues with mine

None of my 4 chainsaws have a fuel bulb. Thus, I can't offer advice on that. I would clean the air filter & try a new spark plug. My old Poulan was acting up a few months ago. Put in a new spark plug, & it ran perfectly. Not saying that's your problem, but it's where I start with most small engines. Reading other posts, I would replace the gas filter in the tank, too. Do the air filter, spark plug, and fuel filter, and then decide to trade it in. 🙂 Hopefully, it will be fine after that.

550 does the same thing. I do believe it is the Auto-Tune. Going from smaller limbing to larger bucking, and back again... the auto-tune falls on its face. At 22:00 it sounds like the saw is heat-saturated. Those dumbass potato mufflers have so many baffles, they act like a fat heat-sink... throwing off the temperature calibration of the control module's fuel/air mixture.... If that makes any sense. The 562xp Mk 2 does the same thing. If you're going to limb all day... Fine. Buck all day... Fine. But Husky engineering design hates to do both.

You jinxed yourself saying it would do better

Your Chain is to duel, thats why the 562 is tuning to much RPM and cosign this problems.

I had 3 562's all 3 was hot start issues and won't stay running wicked saws when they work but would never buy another one I keep my 3 series saws

Are your rackers too high? You’re throwing saw dust instead of chips.

Don't know, tun huskies a lot...never really use the primer button

These comparison videos are driving me mad man!(I honestly think these tests are very bad on the saws, hear me out fella'sI) noticed you guys are trying to eliminate all the variables and i honestly think you guys are actually damn near burning your saws up, just for the sake of trying to please all the viewers/fan boys who cant see their saw be beaten. But when u guys pin the throttle back wide open, and are not using the dogs and chains rakers haven't been been touched. So if u pay attention, you'll notice the engines are at a high rpm with very lil load on them. I personally feel like its probably one of the worst ways u can run a saw. Granted, we know its ok to "Stand Up & Buck" however, the chains have to be setup for that. Basically adjusting the rakers, to get the saw to pull. Not a lot but enough to keep the load on the engine when not using doggers. When you are cutting through the wood and the saws level and has factory height rakers. Youll notice theres more dusty material than chips. Thats because its not being put in a position to get a full chip on each cutting tooth. Instead they are barely grazing the wood because of how slow its going through the cut witth a very high rpm. I mean its not much different then starting it up, and pinning its ears back wide open throttle doing nothing more than spinning the chain. Itd be like putting a car in first gear and reving the hell out of the engine, vs a higher gear lower rpm. Do you understand what im saying here? Its the way that you guys are cutting that is horrible for a chainsaw. Not to mention an engines powerband is where its going to do the best at. Any engine will actually lose power after a certain rpm. So thats what im trying to say, is that by you guys running WOT with very lil to no load. You are putting the saw through hell and back! Didnt you notice in the beginning your saw was doing fairly well? If you go back and look, you were putting a proper load on the chain! You were using the doggers while cutting, during your "Warming up phase" Then you not only pinned the throttle wide open under very lil load. You then "sharpened" the saw making it cut even less, which allows the chain to spin at an even higher rpm for a longer period of time. Having a saw thats cutting powder and not using the dogs to load the saw. Will make the cut take much longer. Meaning not only is it having to stay in the cut longer, its gotta do so with the engine redlined. With no load on it, which is basically just as bad as starting the saw up, disengaging the brake and pinning the throttle wot for however long that cut took. Lets say 30seconds! You wouldn't dare free wheel the saw at WOT for that long, now would you? I honestly whole heartedly believe it burnt the saw up! You gotta remember, these saws are essentially Aircooled. And they dont have the luxury of lube splashing on their internals. Obviously its partially cooled and lubed from the fuel. But i think you understand what im getting at! My advice to you would be, screw the haters/naysayers! Use the dogs while cutting, try to use the same technique for both saws. Do like 5-10 cuts, so you can have a more accurate result. Its hard to deny the results, when they are essentially the same outcome on each cut vs the other contender. SORRY FOR THE LONG ASS COMMENT! lol, i have a hard time keeping things short and sweet. BTW ive been cutting tree's for over a decade. Ive used a lot of chainsaws. Im actually more of a stihl guy, but honestly they have came a long ways over at Husqvarna in the past decade. And ill gladly say, idt its the saws fault by itself. I trust Husqvarna more than that. Damn good saws, no doubt! Anyway Have a great/Happy easter!

Sell it find you a clean 365 special and never look back haha. That or at least go for the mkII they seem more worked out the one at my job runs pretty good. Don't think I'd trade my 300 series husky though maybe one day. Looking at the 585 myself no auto tune plus the 592 we run at work has been flawless so thinking might grab one. Hard to beat the 395 but gotta say the 585/592 seems like one of the best Husqvarna saws I've ever run.

You are using the blue fuel filter, correct?

Ive been told more than once that the 5xx series saws basically suck

False air intake or the mixture is too rich in air or, as we say, poor in fuel

Frustrating day for sure nothing worse then mechanical issues 😢 I will say, although the soul may only be a year old you my friend put a lot of time on your equipment maybe it’s time for a rebuild 🫣🤣

Is that a Mark 2? I haven’t really had a lot of time to run mine lately and it’s gotten really hot out here in NC lately (90+ degrees). Just wondering if it’s a Mk 1or 2. I am probably going to be running mine in the near future for some money cuts. Hope you guys are doing well out there. Much love from NC🤙🤙

Id try a plug, filter and carb clean and if that doesnt fix it make it the dealers problem. Id be pissed if that was my saw. Its still under warranty. Make it their problem, or tell them you want to trade it in for a 562 mk2 or something else you want. I know the 592s had a bulletin for the primer hose being too long and kinking but that didnt affect the starting or running performance. I never used my primer anyways. Could also be your decomp valve leaking. Theyre known to do that. Youre a better man than me. Id have smashed it already.

check out how to do a field reset bud. I got a few videos going over it.

I've got 3 of them the 562 I love them

Otta tune. Older saw and a pocket screwdriver will do it for me. Auto tune or 500i. No thankyou. I’ll be the last person on the planet to need one. Keep making videos pro and con. I’ll keep cutting. 👋😄

The saw is sucking in fines. The filter design is not good.

You might want to do what I did I started out with a spark plug , was better but not right then one day it hit me this saw needs a new coil no more problem

You are wasting time, you could have already a cord of wood while screwing around

I don't know maybe got it to hot with that dull chain. I would sell mine if I wouldn't lose alot of money on it. My 400c is a much better saw in the 60cc range saws.

Did you forget to touch up your rakers? Lol Edit: never mind

Can you say “Hussssssskeeeee” 😂 like a clone…..only real 😅

Adjust the slow idle

Its the saw, not you. I beliieve you got a dud brother.

Sounds lean around the 7min mark...

Another rattly 562xp

I'm sorry, but it's not the saw as frustrating as it is ad that was me originally in the same boat....it's either dirty carb due to shit air filter, fuel filter, fuel itself, need to have dealer simply flash it's limited brain, or you're not properly field tuning it. If it's anything else then you very well may have a much larger issue but 95% of the time guys are shitting on the auto tunes the truth is it's them and the so called problems aren't problems at all

I have the same issues with my 592. Many trips to the shop with it. Some days it cuts really well with no problems and other days it won’t open up. My dealer hooks it up to the computer and fixes the air- fuel ratio and it’s good for a couple days sometimes weeks then will mess up again. Really frustrating

Is that a Mark 2? I haven’t really had a lot of time to run mine lately and it’s gotten really hot out here in NC lately (90+ degrees). Just wondering if it’s a Mk 1or 2. I am probably going to be running mine in the near future for some money cuts. Hope you guys are doing well out there. Much love from NC🤙🤙
