Husqvarna 560xp running issue

[konablaster]

Hi All,

 

Recently, I've been having some issues with the running of my 560xp. It's a 2011 model and done minimal work really. The other week, was working away brashing some softwoods and the saw cut out. Very much like I'd caught the on/off switch and the saw stopped. Checking the saw over, I seemed to have no spark. Ordered a new coil / ignition from Listers and fitted it. Since then, then saw will now run but only on full throttle. If you let off the throttle, the saw dies.

 

I've tried a calibration, 3 mins cutting in a log. This seemed to make no difference. Checking the (new) spark plug after it seems the saw is running lean. 

 

I'm looking for some advice. Do I need to reset the carb some how? Am I not calibrating long enough? I read somewhere else that it could be an air intake leak, but can't see anything out of position that would cause an obvious leak.

 

Thanks in advance.

Take it to your dealer . 2011 is one of the first and has one less crank case bolt than the current saw . There have been a whole host of up grades / mods to the saw since 2011  including a new carb and software . Be worth taking it in I would say .

Ok brilliant, cheers for that. I’ll drop it in soon. I don’t think it’s ever been back since the day I purchased it
