Hi everyone, It's been awhile since I have posted. I have a 2016 vintage 550xp that has always run ok since I got it in 2017. Ok means I can always get it started, sometimes one pull, sometimes 10. It often dies at idle, and often dies if you begin to give it throttle and then let off. But it has always cut so strong, and is such a pleasure to use that I put up with it. a couple days ago it wouldn't start cold, I had run it the previous day. I thought I had flooded it and took the plug out, pulled the starter and let it sit. Its been days of efforts to dry it out and start it. It ran for a minute and died yesterday. Today it fired off on the second pull on choke, but never fired on high idle, the plug was soaked. It looks like I'm getting consistent spark, and compression feels same as always. Unfortunately there are no Husqvarna dealers near me and I don't have a whole lot of faith in any of the shops around here.
Any tips or ideas? All my other saws start great and if I flood them its really straight forward. I'm following the directions for starting the 550 except I'm not using the decompression valve.
Thanks!
