I received a stihl 038. Works great but missing pieces. It does not have the switch to shut off the saw (has the shaft/rod and contacts work) and does not have lever to operate choke (has flapper). I have never owned a stihl (only husky) - can someone with an 038 snap a couple pics of the...

Ok. So from what I am reading... Don’t bother with compression test. Remove cylinder and take a good look at piston and rings. If piston and rings check out, reassemble, new boot, new muffler gasket. At the point. Fire it up? Do a leak test? Will remove piston tonight or tomorrow...

I don’t know how the boot tore... So- should I test compression first? Or take cylinder off? If I do take cylinder apart...assuming all looks good...are there any parts that must be purchased in the cylinder/piston assembly for re-assembly? Gaskets/typical throwaway wear parts? Sorry to...

I am going to pick up a cheap compression tester in the next day or two...

Also, if anyone has any tips for getting better pictures of this... I know they aren't great

I posted a couple of weeks ago about a 562 XP. I had replaced fuel lines and, to do that, had removed and reinstalled carb. It started and ran fine, when warmed up it began to run lean and race. I shut it down. Ensured that I had put things back together correctly, started and ran fine, once...

Thanks for the responses already... I haven't had a chance to get to the shop to grab it...holiday season gets crazy at work...just trying to get through the next few days. I will remove muffler and put picture up once I get it back... I am curious too if he got very far into it...I got the...

Also, Once I determine issues, if a new piston is needed, is OEM a must or are there good aftermarket parts? I use the saw for firewood - usually 10-12 cord per year, mostly dropping, limbing and bucking 12-24" locust, elm, maple, ash and oak trees. The occasional bigger tree and some smaller...

Have a 5 year old 562 xp. This year, had an issue with getting fuel to carb, determined it was a rotted line inside tank. Replaced the rotted line and put saw back together started to run lean after warming up. Thought it was an issue with how I put it back together, reversed the process and...

Update: I tightened the carb mounting bolts and it seemed a little better but again started to race while idling once it warmed up. When I was putting the cover back on, I noticed that the top two bolts which mount the muffler assembly were very loose, one was ready to fall out. Could this...

Thanks. I Was wondering air leak. Where could it be? In the lines or in the mount between carb and air filter housing? Should I crank the mounting bolts a little tighter? I didn’t go too tight with them. Was trying to be careful. Can’t remember carb # off the top of my head. I know...

ok. Last question about my 562xp before I quit and bring it to a shop. Posted about the saw not starting purge bulb not working except on the side- fuel line had a large hole in the tank at the base. Got new fuel line, got manual, pulled carb, ran new fuel lines put it back together. In...

hi all, I replaced the fuel line on my 562xp. When re-assembling it, the white plastic piece that connects the tank vent to the air filter unit snapped. It is kind of a fuel line connector of some kind. Kind of a double male piece that connects fuel hose to the plastic female round...

Where on the saw is the tank vent? ' Not too sure based on pic.

Thanks for the responses... Thanks Chopper88 for the pic...it helps to make the parts diagrams make more sense... I am wondering if I, initially, have the purge bulb set up backwards... So, if I am understanding correctly, the section should be on the side that goes to the short zig-zag...

Have a Husqvarna 562 xp with an apparent fuel delivery issue. Haven’t done much cutting the last two years...most of my wood is getting delivered in bucked rounds (pretty sweet deal). But even so, my 562 has been running flawlessly. Started it up for the first time since summer yesterday and...

Termite- thanks for the info... was this upgrade covered by your dealer/warranty? If not, how much did it cost? Did it solve your problem? Typically, what is Husqvarna's and most dealership's take on this issue? If the EL46 is a known problem then I would assume that this would be covered...

So...now the question is...where is this carb model # marked? Don't want to tear anything unnecessary apart. Alsoo...when did Husky begin to use the 48 carb?

I will have to go out to the shop and look. It is a 2013...first season with it was great...now in 2nd season has been giving little bits of trouble.... If there is carb trouble, can it be cleaned/rebuilt like any other, or am I best taking it to my dealer since computer stuff is involved?

I have a 562 XP that is having trouble idling, sometimes, and re-starting hot sometimes. The saw runs great, plenty of power, and...for the most part...runs as it should. Sometimes, however, it has trouble idling between cuts and then is difficult to re-start. It is winter here and I heave read...
