My shiny new Husky 555 arrived this afternoon. The most unusual part of this purchase, is that it's a 60cc saw. I'm not normally a fan of 60cc saws. I prefer to use either a 50 or a 70. However, I wanted to get my feet wet in this series of saws, as I've not yet messed with one. I went with the 555 over the 562 for several reasons.
I fueled it up, purged it, and it popped on the 2nd pull and started on the 3rd. After a few seconds of warm up, it was running nicely with good throttle response. I have no bar yet for it, so no more running details for now.
This saw is so similar to a 550XP that it's not even funny!
EL49 carb
Definitely not a high compression saw. This is after firing it up, warming it up good, and letting it cool.
Squarish?
TAKE SPECIAL NOTE HERE! Squish is MUCH tighter right on the very end. Miss that, and you might have a head smacker if tightening the squish!
- Basically as strong as a 562 after mods.
- All orange. No silver case and clutch cover with paint that almost rubs off.
- Smaller and lighter.
- $100 cheaper to boot!
