Sorry am a newbie on here...:$

I have a 560xp (2011? i think) which had a new genuine pot and piston a few months ago and i have only done about 30 hours ish work with it since.

i was using it yesterday to limb and chop up a dead ash which we felled. After a while when i released the throttle it would not return to idle and the chain would continue rotating at a fairly decent pace.

also when you applied the chain brake it stalled?!

any ideas what the problem is?

Just wondering why it had a new pot and piston a little while ago? Just wear and tear or did something underlying cause it? Just interested that's all.

the piston rings disintegrated and left both the pot and piston heavily scored. probly excessive wear or it could be that i was using a 24'' on it which it didnt really like

Husqvarna have done a lot of work on debugging these saws now, but the first models out had many issues.

my friend has a fairly new 560. will have to give it a shot and see how i get on
