It is a 2014 2400119
Was there bad carbs on the 562? For what years?

Thanks.

I believe the EL 44 was one of the "bad" carbs, with the EL 46 and EL48 being OK. I could be wrong though...

There was some evidence of SOME saws having problems related to heat soak causing fuel vaporization and improper metering, mostly evidences as stumbling, and bogging, difficulty starting, especially after the saw was ran recently and is still hot.
Husqvarna upgraded the el44 carb to an el46 to address the problem, though there was still SOME continuing evidence that the problem persisted.
Then Husqvarna updated the top cover with a cutout (which your saw has) under warranty, and updated the carb again in 2016 to the el48. At that point most of the problems with the 562xp hot-start/bogging disappeared.

If you haven't experienced any of these symptoms, your saw is probably fine. Having an older carb doesn't mean it's a bad saw. But some buyers are choosy about what they buy.

Well said, sir.

Thank you for clarifying! I didn't know much history, which is why I mentioned my uncertainty. This clears things up!
