What carb does it have? The EL48 Is the updated carb.
Correct, but many of the earlier ones did not have trouble, just have to have a dealer who will back you up.

Shoot Terry a message and ask him, some of the 2014's were updated but i'm not sure of date they began the update.
I have a new 562 here that was built the 21st week of 2014 and it has the new EL48 carb.
Well, mine has a pretty bad stumble off idle, and will sometimes die if I set it down for more than 30 (or so) seconds. I haven't checked to see which carb I have, but it is annoying as hell, and pretty much makes me hate running the damn thing.
I don't have a manual. Can anyone clue me in on how to fix this? Or is it just time for a new carb?

it is very easy to see the carb model on side of carb if clean enough without pulling anything apart. i forget from which side and at what angle but it can be seen.

Hey Shane.
what's going on buddy? i got a buddies huge 390 stash coming my way. took coughing up my 576 for it though
i decided i'm not gonna be upset though LOL i weighed the 385 and 576 today and it is almost scary how close they are. should have took a pic. to think i've been ripping myself off of 10cc's for no power to weight advantage

Not so much better. The best way to describe it is with guns. A heavy gun shooting a cartridge will seem mild but a lighter gun shooting the same cartridge will kick like a mule. That's like the 576. It's heavy for it's size so it is really smooth. I like the extra AV spring of the 385/390. Makes for a more solid feeling saw. Still really like the 576 but I can't justify carrying that weight when there is more power to be had out of the 390's for the same weight.
That was my impression of it also Shane, a powerful smooth saw, but a bit heavy for it's size.

Same here and still a very impressive saw! 2011 model.
Lucky me, I got one with a bad fuel nozzle.
I thought by now that everyone on this site had resolved these problems.
