Hi today we got our new saw a 560xpg it started up fine and I was setting up the auto carb, after I did a few cut I turned it off and when I came to restart it, it started an just as I was about to cut it cut out and made a free running sound after some searching I found that the bolt on the fan was loose and so I fixed that problem. However when I came to restart it, it ran up fine but when I turned it off it made a sound that sounded like it back fired and then wouldn't start, so left it over lunch and came back after and started it when I got it started it ran perfectly, but when I pushed the stop it made the back fire sound again then wouldn't start again. Does anyone know what might cause the problem and if I should just send it back?

So contact my supplier then!

 

Should of got a Dolmar or a 550. Them 560s are nothing but trouble:001_tongue:

 

On a more helpful note sound like something is up in on the flywheel side. Just put it back in the box and send it back.

 

I'd also say you want a new one not that one fixed. If its giving trouble out the box it will be nothing but trouble in the future.

The backfiring is the spark plug firing on the downward stroke with ignition timing well thrown out by a damaged flywheel key. It is a classic sign and on a new saw - it is back to the dealer.

 

A new one should really be fitted although you can get round it with a timing wheel and a bit of luck.........but not on a new saw!
