You have no idea what you're talking about. These saws would get the carb so hot the fuel will turn to vapor, you couldn't even get fuel to cycle through the carb with the purge bulb. The carb was too close to the cylinder, with no shielding and lack of airflow. The saw was redesigned in part to deal with this, the 562 wasn't any better.

I have read those reports and solutions on a lot of sites. Bottom line is most problems are caused by operator mistakes.

How about the factory installed defects, like deformed and leaky transfer cover seals, faulty carbs that took Husqvarna 5 different carbs before they got it right, improperly installed intake boots, pistons and cylinders with the wrong tolerances, bearings going south. It wasn't just operator error! Not by a long shot.
