Appreciate your feedback, didn't consider it a scam red flag but can see the point.
Appreciated sir!
It is starting and dying on prime.
What all have you tried doing?
Basic fuel check.. filter, lines, checked carb w/o fully disassembling it. Checked for spark
It likely has a bunch of hours these silver painted cases hide. This is probably why they changed the paint colors.
Based on the piston wear I would guess the same.
I'm tempted just to learn the architecture inside for port work. Might be a cutter done up for a beaming tool or edger.
As noted by others although no scoring present the piston does show some wear. Have you ran a compression test with a quality compression tester? It would be interesting to know what it is reading
They are sweet saws to play with, however, too expensive to fix if they need any major work. Last one I repaired I had over half the cost of a new saw just in parts. 2016 model, bearings came apart in. Trashed the bottom and top ends.
I've got one on my bench just like that. Just hanging onto it incase I find a saw with a burnt top end, or some reasonably priced parts. (Husqvarna bearings are $$$ these days.)
yep, it's a shame they want so much for their parts. I really like the 562xp, and I'd take another but just can't make any money off selling them.
Kind of like my 576 project. Got a crank off of a forum member that was in good condition but just for new seals + bearings its going to be $120usd and needing a new piston+various parts puts the project at around $500usd total which is more than I paid for a good running 572xp. lol my Stihl seals for the 044 project were only $22...
