Morning Folks.
Happy Sunday. I was looking at classifieds and came across a fella that is selling a 562XP parts/project/scrap saw. I'll post the link to the saw below.
I've worked on some Huskys, but I've never dealt with any of the newer ones, especially with auto-tune, so I need a little advice on potential money pitfalls and problems of this earlier model 562XP Auto-tune.
From what I can see its missing the P&C + exhaust. It also looks like the throttle trigger and throttle safety are missing, most probably the rigging in between it and the carb are gone too.
The pics show it is definitely a 5-bolt case, therefore, is known to have a design flaw that causes the case to leak bar/chain oil under the muffler. I'm certain this is the model that has heat issues as well, which causes the auto-tune to over rich or lean the saw so it doesn't restart when hot.
Any input is welcome, i.e., price/worth, rebuild and mods suggestions, North American vs EU models, etc.,.
Here is the link: https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/562xp-saw-missing-parts-build-or-scrap.318088/
I can buy this saw all day here for 680 EU delivered to my door, so I'm more interested in the hobby of rebuilding the saw at much lower price than new.
Cheers,
