anybody done any experimenting with hot weather issues on the 562 ?
I try to do a few minutes of easy work before shutting the saw off and that pretty much cures the hard hot start issue for me.
Exact conclusion I have come to expect.The real solution is in prevention of heat soak in the first place which is really huskys job. Though that's not helpful to all the 562/550 owners. Irrespective of brands when little 2stokes get heat soak, a common factor I've noticed is the primer bulb acts up too not filling properly or pulling gas through the carb. A roll of heat shield tape and a pair of scissors is where I'd start for a fix. Making the best with a stock problem unit, I've found keeping them running keeps them running. Hit the kill switch for refuel or whatever and that's when the game begins...
Yes both my 550 and 562 will not restart in this heat after a hard run. However after opening up the mufflers and adding some heat shielding
it takes higher temps before they act up. I've thought about deleting the primer system, I believe all those extra fuel lines get head soaked. Bad design that wasn't tested thoroughly!!
I am all ears to any potential fix.
