562 Transfer Port Covers

[Jed1124]

A friend of mine is trying to find 562 transfer port covers for his 555. He says he can only find them with a jug and that they are not sold separately. Is that true? Does anybody know where I can get a set?

Thanks

That is the word on the street, you cannot buy transfer covers.

When throwing away damaged 562 or 550 cylinders, always save the transfer covers because that's about the only way right now that you'll get extras.

I know the 555 and 562 have different covers. do the 545 and 550?

The 550 and 545 appear to have the same covers according to the pics on parts tree.

I'd still verify before buying. I was comparing pics so I'm only assuming the accuracy.

I have a 545 and I have a 550 ignition and carb to put on it. I was wondering if the transfer covers were different too? I think the only other difference was the crank stuffers.

If anybody has a set of 562 covers I can buy for my buddy hit me up in a pm.
I guess it was kinda smart for husky to sell the covers only with a jug.
I've heard the stuffers make the most difference anyway.

When I had my 545 modified years ago (by a trustworthy member here), they mentioned having to grind the transfer port covers to match the ones on the 550, so I am guessing at least in the early saws there was a difference.
