Greetings all,
Just picked up a new husky 572xp for some heavier cutting I'll be doing and wanted some feedback on if what I'm seeing is normal. Just put it through its paces yesterday and so have about 1.5 tanks of gas through it. I've had other new saws in the past and realize that they need to take some time to break in, but this thing is a DOG. So far the biggest thing I've been able to cut without the saw stalling constantly is an 8" piece of pine. Anything larger and it stalls out almost immediately if I put any pressure on it. Ran it through some larger stuff when I first started it since I'd heard that's what the autotune needed (quick note: nothing in the manual about calibrating the autotune on this one), but it was a challenge with how easy it was to kill it.
My question is, is this normal? It's been a while so I don't recall exactly, but I don't think my Dolmar PS 5100 was this anemic out of the box. Speaking of the Dolmar, it kicks the crap out of the husky in terms of power right now. Going to run it some more tomorrow but I have trouble believing that it'll miraculously start sawing like a monster after a few more tanks. Info on the 572xp is scarce though. Makes me wish I'd held on to the 576xp with manual carb I had, that thing went like crazy.
Thanks
