Are you guys debating the ported 555 vs stock 562? If so, I'd think the 55 would spank it.

No. Mike's Triple 5 has a muff modd and a little run time. Mine is bone stock and will be on her inaugural tank......
My bad. I think I had it mixed up with the 576 AT perhaps.

Hey Mac did the 555 wake up a lot since its first tank until now. I have a little over a tank through mine now, seems to be waking up little by little, still kind of groggy if you know what I mean.
What I'd like to see is a 555 with the transfer covers off a 562 go head to head with a 562. With the slightly lower base compression of the 555 crankcase, the 555 would tend to have a broader powerband than the 562. Throw in a couple more of degrees of blowdown to lift the cutting speed and a modified 555 would have very broad powerband could out perform the 562 for general woodcutting.

Im sorry, I wanted to go ahead and answer but i just cant remember what Mike said. At any rate he hits the sack pretty early. may be in the am before ya hear from him again. Glad you are likin your 555.
What I had to do on the 450 was to drill out the backs of the covers. Then I used some GB Weld and fibreglass cloth to build up the outside. I was able to increase the depth to the extra 21.5% that I needed, I doubt that the 555 needs that much work.
I would be interesting to see a 555 and 562 cover side by side in order to see how much deeper the 562 cover is.

Sgrizz the 555 is small mount and there's not a techlite for it that i've heard of. If there is I want one.
The 555 and 562 probably make most of us forget the 346 ever existed. :msp_tongue:
I got mine with a 3/8 .050 bar and thought it was the large mount ? How can i tell which it is ? I am use to stihl bars so i am lost on this one and i can call the guy who sold it to me but i figure i ask here first . I dont have the bar number in front of me , i will have to get it after work. Please school me on this one . thanks .:msp_unsure:

The 562 is listed at 12.8 lbs in Europe, - and the 372s sold in the US have the HD filter/cover, that is not included in the spec weigh (dawgs are never included).
Some Husky weight specs are more or less off, others are not - like with all other brands.....:msp_rolleyes:

I have been thinking of that as well, but I doubt there is a large enough difference to care about....

Yes, and the slot is 8.2mm vs. 9.0mm. Spacers won't help in this case, as the oiler holes won't match up.
I believe Sugiharas are the lightest RSN small mount bars......
