I have a couple of problems with my 550xp. I know one fix is probably easy but the other has me concerned.
First the throttle does not return very easy so to get the saw to slow down I have to use my fingers to pull the trigger back out of the handle. Does the cable need some lube or is there other issues?
2nd problem that has me concerned is a spinning sprocket. I was using the saw yesterday in a log and the chain just stopped moving on the bar in the cut. Upon inspection the sprocket can spin freely. Is there a drum with clip that holds the rim sprocket in place? I didn't think outboard clutches had such a setup so did I strip the sprocket or crank?
Thanks. Brian
