Last month I bought a 562xp AT.
This saw was hard to hot start so I took it to the dealer and he found nothing.
I changed how I was starting the saw, following the manual to a "T" and noticed
some small improvement. Today it went back to hot hard starts. I seem to have
some better luck when I leave the decompression valve out. Usualy I end up having
to hold the throtle to start it.
I read a lot about this saw before I bought i,t and noticed that people either love
them or hate them, with the latter being the minority.
I called the dealer and its going back in Monday, and I told him if it doesnt get fixed
this time I will be getting a refund.
I have never had problems like this with my 13 year old 55 rancher.
So. What can you guys tell me?
Thanks in advance.
