560XP hard to pull

[AllyH]

Just ran my new 560 yesterday to give it a go on some big stuff. Gave it a clean today. Just removered the bar cover and washed inside. Now when I go to pull it, it won't turn over unless the decop valve is push in. Any suggestions?

Is that a pre mix 2 stroke?

If it is it ll be 50:1 ratio but ive always run my new saws on a richer mix 40:1 for the first 5 tanks till the parts bed in.

Even running it on 50:1 out the box shouldnt make it difficult to turn over though

Yea 50:1 recommend by husqvarna too

When you say wash it out what did u do exactly and what did you use to wash it with mate?

Check the 2 metal dowels that engage in the starter pull aren't bent yet ( they will eventually )

washing saws? bizarro!

Basically just took the clutch cover off and cleaned in there with soapy water and a wee hand pump sprayer. It's not like the water was getting forced in like a pressure washer would. I'm really puzzled with this one

I'll check them. Do you think they would bend as quick and that. Only had it's first outing yesterday lol
