562XP oiler issue

[nixon]

lol it is funny but i guess when u swing off them every day u would want to think you know what your talking about.what saw are u comparing ?? i hope your not thinking of a 46 vs 562 ?? :msp_smile:

Don't hold your breath for a answer ,mate . The stolen dear most likely owns an 029,and a couple of 3/8 inch "blades " .

maybe if husky saws went to a tooless oil cap they would quit leaking so much oil :msp_wink:

If they just had the flippy caps the oil would just conveniently leak out the starter side where it could easily be cleaned up:msp_sleep:

I have had this happen on a new Stihl. It finally found a new home.:hmm3grin2orange:

This saw seems to be typical for husky. Sure it is fast and light,but all that does not matter if it won't oil, or even run for that matter. I think they may have a great saw in the 562, they just should have spent a little more time in r&d on it. There are a ton of threads here and elsewhere on the issues with this saw. My stihls' might be slow and heavy, but they are always ready to go to work when i am. I am curious as to where all the cheerleaders for this saw went to when these problem threads show up? Is everybody having issue with them,or is it just a few units. Are there any of these being used as loggers, or all just cookie cutters?

There was a guy on here that called all of us a bunch of idiots. Something about pictures of a 362 that was going to be posted.

I can not seem to remember who. Oh well dosen't matter anyway.:hmm3grin2orange:

This is my go to saw now. If I had to get rid of all my saws but one, this would be the saw I would keep.

I feel just about the same way about my 562. It is a keeper.

But I feel the same way about the 365 with the ported 372 top end, so I have two saws that I never want to part with.

Both saws seem to run better every time I use them.

yes, and you need to read the rest of my post, instead of just parts of it.

I did. It still doesn't change what you said first.

What about the DCS6401 Dolkita or the MS362 ?

. Also there's not another 60cc saw that will run with this saw. .

That might be a bit of an "over statement"
I can't wait to put the 6401 up against the 562. Both are Factory stock.
It might be a close match Both feel very strong, But must admit the 562 egro's are better.
Wish there were more youtube video's for the 562 battleing it out with dcs6401/MS362 with a level playing field as possible.

Haven't cut with a 562 yet but I personally didn't like the way it felt. The top handle had way too much angle for my liking. Of course I have owned some Jred's so might be biased.

The angled handlebar took some getting use to, but now I don't even notice.

You've Never Ran a 372! It's one of life's greatest pleasures, even stock it's pretty much a factory hot rod. It literally has become the benchmark saw by which all other saws are measured. I think you should move that goal to the tippy top of your "bucket list" Sir...

To sum it up "372's are “like a sore D**K-... You Just Can't Beat'em"

I can’t really speak to the newer Strat 372's as mine is "old School-1998 vintage" before they started using rpm limited Ignitions in them.

As for the 390's they are a very impressive, Brad put it well by saying it's like having a 372 on steriods. Also it made the largest improvement with just a Muff mod in comparison to my other mm husky’s. Highly recommended as you really cant go wrong with either one.

Thanks for the leaking bar oil advise guys, I always wondered why my husky’s would sometimes leak bar oil all over the place, and other time’s they would be fine I’ll have to try that tank trick. My 2 cents.

I swung in to see a couple of fellow logger friends of mine that are working near my house.They were just headed to the saw shop with a couple of saws one was a 562 that was a couple of weeks old it was leaking oil from under the muffler. I ran the saw when they first got it had lots of power for it's size and was light and smooth. If I get a chance I'll stop by and see how they made out with it. Glad they have one, so I can see how it holds up for them before I buy one.

You need the 2260 then, for the exact same reason that I don't want that one! :biggrinbounce2::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

People are different, and it would be no fun if they weren't!

The 6400/6401 is disqualified as a 60cc saw because of the weight and bulk.

Talked to them today, the bolt came out of the case under the muffler and sucked the gasket inside. Going to have to split the case and install a new gasket.
