I have around 4 hours on a new 562xp, and in comparison to my old 357xp, it has snappier throttle response, and starts much easier (usually 1 pull) when hot. Thus far, I am impressed. :msp_thumbup:
You mean an ignorant operator would have let it lean seize.
If you Stihl guys knew who they purchased their technology from, you'd be jumping off bridges all across the country. :smile2:
I've heard things.
It's not a car company. :biggrin:
No, I didn't mean that. I hope you won't begrudge me a little automation Randy. I'm fairly sure you depend on the ignition in your vehicle to advance correctly. As you can see, like most things, it's not black and white.

so was it china or russia
my 562xpg fires up first pull when warm everytime, altho after about 10 mins I gotta choke on then choke off just for that little bit of throttle for a 1 pull start. ill see what happens when its -35c out. I love that 562, she's a great saw.

No problem big guy. I do realize that many who run saws are clueless and won't notice if the danged thing is acting up.
The old Ford has Autolite's spark control valve on the carb, it works well if setup correctly and poorly if not.
Thanks for all the good posts. I'm glad a lot of people are having good luck with both Autotune and M-tronic. I'm wondering now about the warm start procedure on the 562xp and 550xp. My dealer showed me and the instruction manual confirmed that for warm/hot restarts always pull out and up on the red button then push it back down, push in decomp and pull. Is this correct or is there another technique for warm/hot restarts? I'm wondering now if when you push down on the red button to stop the saw does it automatically sets the saw back to the run position. I'm also curious if there is a difference between a hot and a warm restart, even though I can't find any info in the instruction manual and my dealer never made any distinction between the two.
