in my opinion theres no better firewood saw on the market than the 562/2260 (especially after I have ported it.)
Last month I bought a 562xp AT.
This saw was hard to hot start so I took it to the dealer and he found nothing.
I changed how I was starting the saw, following the manual to a "T" and noticed
some small improvement. Today it went back to hot hard starts. I seem to have
some better luck when I leave the decompression valve out. Usualy I end up having
to hold the throtle to start it.
I read a lot about this saw before I bought i,t and noticed that people either love
them or hate them, with the latter being the minority.
I called the dealer and its going back in Monday, and I told him if it doesnt get fixed
this time I will be getting a refund.
I have never had problems like this with my 13 year old 55 rancher.
So. What can you guys tell me?
Thanks in advance.

...My dealer mentioned replacing the coil and/or carb, even though the inital data showed no codes. I do suspect the coil myself, or computer. My dealer has decades of experiance and is a logger to boot...
I wonder if the 100LL might cause, or add to the problem? I know it is used by some, but I really didn't like the way my saw ran when I tried it a few years ago.Wow.
This is what I love about this site. So much help and knowledge at your fingertips.
Boxygen: Im near Jefferson.
Hamish: On the serial number, do you mean starting with the date, or after the date? 201311 is with the date preceding.

I have followed the user manual to the letter, but see better results when I start it like any other saw,
with engaging the high idle.
I did the inital break in and have about 5 hours on the saw, and well over a gallon of fuel through it. I use 100LL and high
quality mix oil.
Post the first 6 digits of your serial number, and we will go from there.
Most of these "issues" are due to the individual understanding of a "warm" restart.
Use of the air purge should never be required in a "warm" restart situation, and is solely an aid in reducing the number of pulls required to get an infrequently used saw to start.
Autotune is still 90% old school chainsaw, its nowhere near as scary as Algebra.
I hated Algebra in school - it killed my interest in Maths! :angry2:
"Operator error" seems to be the most common cause for "issues" with those saws.....
I hate hearing all this about the 562xp. I desperately need a 60cc saw and I want an AT/M-tronic but can't bring myself to pull the trigger. A ms362 would be ok as I need reliability but I want AT. Its a shame Husky can't get their act together on a $1000+ saw. People using a saw all day can't put up with this B/S. I guess I will wait/prey for the release of MT ms362. The 562xp reminds me of my ms200t, 'best saw in its class' when working properly.:msp_mad:

The problem on a discussion board like this is that "it" becomes "they" and an issue seems way more widespread than it really is.
......
Sawtroll.Yes, that is how it is - sad, but true! People that have problems because they failed to read the important part of the manuals add to the confution.....
My 562 was manufactured in 2013.Honestly it's really not that bad. I've sold plenty of the early saws and the problem was only on 3 units. And I was lucky enough to get one of them! :msp_tongue: (Actually not a bad thing at all as I became quite familiar with what was going on)

Back to the OP's saw; the new coil was introduced from serial number 20124700001, 47th week of 2012. These saws have been flawless so far.
My 562 was manufactured in 2013.
When its running it cuts like crazy. Hard to bog it down really.
like my OP said; most of these saw are good out of the box, mine just wasnt.
But. My dealer is on my side and is determined to get to the bottom of it.
I think there are bound to be ocasional lemons with any new tecnology,
its just a royal PIA when you cant cut wood...........
