Fish Head
I admit to being a head case but threads like this make me nervous as hell. Russ
Russ, I'm not worried at all. Not even a little...
I bought from a very good dealer, so if something does come up, I know he'll help me out.

Typical HOP junk.
Thanks! :msp_biggrin:
:msp_scared:Be careful, the black oxide finish could add some weight to the saw. :msp_w00t:

Text from the SB-
"We have had breakdowns in crankshaft bearings for some time. The assembly process is now
corrected to prevent this happening. At the same time, we are replacing the crankcase screws with
the same one used as the 357XP cylinder screw, 725 53 33-55, in a black oxide fi nish. The
503 20 08-02 screw has a coating that has too low friction and loses torque. This may also have
caused the oil leak. When repairing/replacing the crankcase gasket, make sure to replace this
screw with a 725 53 33-55 screw."
Careful passing judgement too soon. Anytime there's a highly anticipated new model, any problems are going to be highlighted and likely exaggerated. All saws have issues from time to time.
I still may get one. I have a ms362, and a 262xp, There is always room for 1 more saw.
I'd like to see the bulletin on that please .:computer::waaaht: sorry ST couldn't resistBe careful, the black oxide finish could add some weight to the saw. :msp_w00t:
Yeah, that's the SB. Anything made since Feb should have the new screws. I suppose anyone could update to the new screws if they wanted to. Just have to pop the flywheel to get at some of them.
Where is your shop located in Gettysburg? I plan to FINALLY make it out there to tour the battlefield this fall. Might be fun to stop in and talk shop for a little while.
Well got a beloved 562 in the shop today, customer report said hard/no start hot. Diagnostic software showed nothing abnormal, 21 hours on the saw, no error codes. Tank vent checked out ok, compression good, vacuum/pressure tested cyl and that also passed. Needle valve had a very slow leak to it. Upon running it I noticed an abnormal amount of bar oil coming from the front of the saw, pulled the muffler off again and saw it oozing out the crankcase split! So after a short amount of time on the phone with warranty auth. I've got a new carb, crankcase gasket and 357xp case screws on the way. Fortunately this is the first AT we've had problems with. I have not split the case yet, although I did notice a service bulletin for crank bearing problems, has anyone else seen this?
I was complaining that my 562 was bogging down in a cut today to my climber.
Sounds like you're not use to cutting with a properly sharpened chain lol.:msp_w00t:
Gettysburg is an incredible place. I visited the battlefield when I was a teenager and I can still visualize some of the buildings, emplacements, and graves.
