Want to pick one up next week. I see they added the vent. Seems to be the 60cc of choice.
Has the hot start problem been solved on the newer 562xp?

I hope so. I just picked one up yesterday. Mercifully, nothing in the manual regarding the crazy 3-5 min full throttle running for autotune to calibrate itself.

Hopefully that is just a one time thing or is it every time you start the saw?

Used to be a one time thing, when new. No longer needed.

I find they start the easiest with the de-comp plugged. And I don't bother touching the primer air purger either. Fires right up.

Added a new one to my stable Wednesday. Worked flawlessly yesterday.

Just fired mine an hour ago. This saw is very very strong. Started on 4th pull, idled perfectly and really ripped through 20" oak right out of the box. The 562 may be my new favorite.

I have two wrap models and have no problems under 90 degrees or so. Warmer than that I shut it off with the choke, set on high idle to re-Start and she always starts up, ported and un-ported saws.
The 562xp is a really hard saw not to like and quite capable up to, if you have to, run a 28" bar full comp chisel chain. Not fast but will get by.

And remember not all had issues... I've been waiting 6 years for mine not to start. However I did have problems when I didn't put it on fast idle cutting above 95° before I knew the proper starting procedure
