Looks like the blade is dull.

If the discharge was from the other end i would figure it ate something tainted that caused it to puke......but since it's coming from that end I think it's just a mild case of the squirts.....probably been on a drinking spree. :msp_unsure:

It's not 100%, but clipping a couple coils off the needle lever spring really made a difference.

That thing is quick no matter how you look at it

 

[blsnelling]

This thing is like an angry beaver when limbing small stuff. You can't keep it off the rev limiter. The Rev Boost is very obvious. It's hard not to like this saw.

Better for sure! Mine had an air leak, so the base will get cut this morning. Duhtayls at 11!

I am a newbie here and but I just did it.

This site has certainly infected me with CAD and convinced me to get the 550XP. I really wanted to go Stihl MS261 as Orange and White is what I am accustomed to however after reading the performance of the AutoTune as well as handling both saws it was a no brainer to get the 550XP with 18" bar. Doesn't hurt that the 550XP has a 2-year warranty either. It was a hard decision to go Husky but I feel I will have this saw for a lifetime.

I mainly will be using it for storm clearing, limbing, and firewood gathering. It comes in tomorrow!:greenchainsaw:

 

[Tzed250]

A wise choice!!!

 

[Officer's Match]

^Rep for ya' for the new lunchmeat saw! Your gonna' love it I'm predicting.

edit: oops, Tz slipped in ahead of me.

Good choice. When you are ready to void that warranty just give us a shout.

I was hoping mine would be here when I got home from work. No such luck.:msp_sad:
Hopefully it gets here soon, tired of lugging my 460 around.

My warranty will be voided about 15 minutes after I get my hands on it.:msp_biggrin:

Welcome to AS. North East of where...................if you are in the US your 550xp will have a 6 month warranty, not like its really and issue, blows the doors off of the creamsicles your used to.

 

[TK]

6 month warranty

 

[Tzed250]

I've voided many a warranty

 

[SawTroll]

6 month warranty

2 years here, but my dealer managed to fix my 339xp at warranty after 3 1/2 years. Also, I suspect that some really good dealers won't declare it voided, unless there are some connection between the mods and what failed.....
