562 won't idle - need help!

Don't sell is off so quick. Give Terry and chance to see what the prob is, or have a local shop check it out.

if you think it may be a carb issue try swapping it for a known good carb from your other 562. if it solves the problem ill send you a carb

My other 562 is sold unfortunately!

 

[tlandrum]

the 560 should be the same carb as a 562. swap one of those.

I'll try this tomorrow. Thank you for your help. And apologies, I'm just sick and tired today.

Is there any possibility you got some bad fuel??? Also, replace the fuel filter just for giggles. Always do the simple things first. Good luck with it Captn.

Already done, yep. This can't be bad fuel, i used the same gas for the rest of the day in my 346 without issue.

Apparently it's a carb issue. I tried to put a carb from a new 560 on my saw, but the wire linkage from the coil to the control lever is different (coil->carb->lever on the 562 and coil->lever on the 560).

So i put my carb on the 560, and it was the same issue, saw won't idle and revs weirdly.

So there's 3 different carbs available for the same saw?

Hello everyone,

Today i was working with my new ported 562. The saw has something like 12 tanks through it.

Ten tanks are about as long as them have been lasting. You are two tanks in the black. Send it back.

Your loss!

Your loss!

Simplicity has far more value than computer control. Most people don't see that as being true, YET, but the day will come

Carb issue... Zama makes the carbs in China. Stihl owns Zama....

Nothing could be simpler than AutoTune. Pull cord, cut wood. No need for adjustments ever.

The reported troubles with these saws is carb related, not control related.

Yes, it obviously is sabotage ordered by Stihl and performed by Zama.

More seriously - it may not have been a good idea to order the carbs from Zama, when there was no Walbro to basically copy.....

My old carb is on the way to Tennessee, now. Thank you for the help Terry. Is there a noticeable difference between these carbs?

 

[tlandrum]

just a few slight differences that you can see when comparing side by side but nothing majorly different in appearence
