So new saws never have problems? Would you ever buy a used vehicle ? Lightly used saw with a problem and you know how to rebuild it, can save you substantial amount of money.About 70 clams. Pumping good money into junk iron is a fools game.
Check with your dealer, many Husqvarna coils have a lifetime replacement.View attachment 737522 husky 550xp as a " parts saw" produced in 2013 only needs a coil to the best of my knowledge
what's the value??????? i will look at piston, have good compression but when it last ran it just shut down i checked right then no spark

I have one of those 562's with an el46 carb that everyone says is junk. Never has given me a problem, even after being ported. Also have rebuilt several of those 550's and most have just never been cleaned, bad fuel,or used to power a log stripper. Running saws at half throttle is hard on them, when running those strippers.Normally a very good point, but not in this case.
This exact type (early 550) can be a money pit.
Not very reliable and a lot of updates. Which makes finding the exact part hard and expensive.
And ofcourse a load of people have one that is milling non stop since the seventies.
But according to the dealers who sell and repair the things, they are less interesting to repair that the new price would expect.

I think that's worth a 1.5 hour drive.thank you everyone, found dealer 1.5 hrs away that says if only coil $30 for repair and reflash
It is absolutely insane what some saws bring on eBay. I've seen several 346xp sell for more than they cost brand new.Put it on ebay and it might get 300 plus in a bidding war. Seen that with a few 550s that were completely junk on eBay.
