That was good! I think my 044 also gets the nod over my 362 in that category!
Because the zombies all like Stihls?

NOOO!!! Because a hesitation issue could be deadlyBecause the zombies all like Stihls?
Esp when it dies at the hit of the throttle! CJ

It's baaaack. My first 562 didn't start acting up until the weather turned cold and the saw got warmed up good. Husky replaced it with another one with the same problem except worse. I finally got it fixed with an EL44 carb back in the summer and it's been doing real good but we've not had any cold weather to speak of yet. This morning was 22 degrees so I took it to the log pile and used it for a while. Same thing. After it gets warmed up good and idles for several seconds. it has a pretty good hesitation but nothing like the original problem that I had. At least it doesn't die when I hit the throttle so it's still usable. Supposed to be in the single digits tomorrow morning, maybe I'll see if it gets any worse in that temperature.

I've got another one in route. I replaced the 46 with a 44, and it was fine in warmer weather. Now the bog is back.
Maybe we need to send a few of these to Hamish.....

It sounds like a nightmare, hope a solution that works in all weather is found!

Just a 1%er.....
Check out post#715 on P36 & post#722 on P37. Here is a follow up on both of them. I took it out last week with the outdoor temp @ 16 & the wind blowing 20-30mph. I left the gate closed just for testing purposes. It started normally both hot & cold. It idled as it should @ both slow & fast idle. AND, best of all, it cut like a screaming banshee in 36in maple using the 24in B&C. There was NO hesitation off idle when tested @ 2sec., 10sec., & 30+sec. intervals. I have done about everything you can do with it as far as testing it in a wide range of temps, & it has been perfect! About the only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not it changes after several more hours of use. So far the EL 48 has been a magic bullet!

The EL48 might be next for CJs saw. I think Husqvarna should pay for it though.

I say we load up the back of my truck with the "1%" and deliver them to Mr Hamish in person. I'll drive and supply the fuel. Always wanted to see the great white north.
I would love to give the 48 a try even if I have to pay for it but I'll have to ship the saw off to have it done and shipping a saw is a real pain for me. Our local Husqvarna dealers leave a lot to be desired and that is saying the nicest thing that I can about them.
The saw does not need shipped. You can provide the dealer with the product id and SN, and program the carb before shipping it.

Do you mean that the dealer can program the carb and then ship it to me for me to install it?

Better be a big damn truck......
Yes. I don't know how that would work with a warranty case, but that's how I did mine.
Brad, did yours work, and was it not under warranty???
