562 won't idle - need help!

[CapitaineHaddoc]

Will you try to get me an EL48 to replace this one? I suppose thatt will be the case if you can change it under warranty.

One of the carb number changes actually was caused by a change in what was included in the number, not by any actual change to the carb. At least I have been told so by someone who should know.

 

[tlandrum]

ill most likely send you an el44 and you will never have anymore troubles.

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

You take a simple device and make it computer controlled and you call it simpler??? And yes, plenty of them have had to go to the dealer for laptop adjustments.

 

[Termite]

Now here is simple

 

[tlandrum]

yep we should all go back to something that simple

I have a 562xp parts saw that has a el44b carb. Is that one of the troublesome carbs? I also have a 562xp (used) that I haven't operated yet, I'm hoping it's not going to be a bad one.

 

[tlandrum]

only problem ive seen out of the el44 was a slight hesitation on stock saws. this never seemed to be a problem once they were ported.

 

[CapitaineHaddoc]

Have you seen issues with the el46 before mine?

 

[tlandrum]

yes the el 46 has had some issues in the past. not every one had the issues. but when they do occur you have to replace the carb.

To those of us running autotune saws without local dealers is there any real reason to buy the diagnostic kit?
Compared to many tools I've bought it isn't a big expense...

None at all unless you have the ability to access firmware and software updates.

Contrary to the popular belief, these updates make a very large difference.

Here's our 2260 demo that has 63 minutes of run time that will not idle.

This has the EL46 carb. I let a carver borrow this saw to use at the fair that's next door and it didn't last 15-20 minutes of actual running time.

 

[tlandrum]

that's definitely the classic carb issue that ive seen. swap it for a good one and your golden.

So am I better off ordering the EL48 which is out of stock or order the 46 which is in stock
There is about a $30 difference in price on the two carbs.

579194105 EL46
579194107 EL48 includes air filter?

 

[tlandrum]

I would go for the el44 and use the electronics from your el46.

Wouldn't it be covered under warranty?

 

[SawTroll]

Wouldn't it be covered under warranty?

I don't know how a dealers demo saw works vs. warranty?

 

[hamish]

I don't know how a dealers demo saw works vs. warranty?

It would still be covered under warranty. Actually it would be covered as a pre warranty repair, the actual warranty begins once the saw is sold.

 

[tlandrum]

the saw is ported so the warranty is only covered by me. being the guy i am ill be taking care of the issue warranty or not.
