Mastermind Meets the 562XP

That's pretty awesome for a 60cc saw! What's meant by a pop up piston. My saw is the latest revision, 2014.

 

[Mastermind]

I don't use popup pistons anymore.

Instead I machine the squish band instead now. The piston is unmodified, and compression is still increased.

Too bad most of the images are gone from this thread. I just bought a 562XP and would like to learn more about it and wether a mod is worth it or not. Many say the saw is good to go with surprising power stock.

It is a really good saw, even stock. For me, it's one of the greatest saw ever built. You can start with a muffler mod, the saw respond very well to a muffler mod.

Hold my beer while I SMOKE this 362cm

That is one nasty sounding saw, is that muffler done the same as the one pictured on the previous page with the pipe .

 

[Mastermind]

Yes sir.

No doubt a stock 562 is a mean little monster. Mine will be heading to Tennessee on the big brown bus for a date in September along with it's little brother, the 550. There is no need to port either saw but Randys saws look so fun I had to have a few.

Well, I'm only an hour and change from Tree Monkey here in Wisconsin. I'm not sure if he would mod a 562 though.. I had him do a woods port and Tilly carb changeout on my 390xp this last spring and I love it! But with that being my only saw it got heavy to use for every little thing. And so the 562xp.

 

[Mastermind]

Scott builds a mean 390XP. That is a fact.

Randy,
What model of saw have you done the most of would ya say? Does a certain size come across the bench more than the others?- 50cc, 60cc, 70cc etc.

 

[Mastermind]

I've done more MS660s and MS261s than any other saws.

I probably see more 70cc saws of all models that any other size though. Of course that's including the 460 and 461 in that grouping.
