"not warranty!! its an EPA issue" WTF?

[Westboastfaller]

I didn't know the 562 had hot start issues. ..because I must has been locked up for the last 7 years?
I was kind of wondering why 'they' were putting all this emphasis on a heat barrier on the 572.
So I did a Google search and found.. one thread and in the op he said the saw shop was saying Husqvarna USA (I presume) was saying its an EPA issue after a few unsuccessful attempts; as to say its a different department? Husqvarna (Sweden?)
I'm trying to make sense of it.

i think @moondoggie had issues with his 562 and ended up having a new cover or something put on it for heat dissipation. don't know much about them hooskies though.

Yes sir FS. Believe it or not a hole in the top cover fixes the problem. Not only does it let hot air out it when the saw sits after running. I think more importantly it sucks air in while it's running. Which I had no idea. I was very skeptical that this would fix my saw. But, they gave me a new top cover and I have had zero issues since!!

Do you have a picture of hole you put in your cover, location. Thanks

Husqvarna replaced the top cover with a new one. I will post a pic of the new cover.

Air is forced in from the opposite side via the flywheel. It would have to be an exit, not an intake.

It felt like (to me);
If you stick your hand over the hole while it's running there is suction. FWIW

Thanks, thats what I thought would fix it.
I believe its oxegen deficiency from fume
Build up. When I spill a lot of gas as I'm fillng the saw then it want start.
I just snap off the top and filter and it starts right away.
This was happening some year ago on a 372. I Did figure it was a gas leak I figured out that taking the top off on 'hot starts
it was good. I told a Mechanic buddy and I believe his exact wolds were.
