560XP hot start

[Alycidon]

The gasket had failed between the two halves of the crankcase,   Husky now fit an extra bolt in uprate the clamping force,  that suggests its a design issue and a common fault,     I have had it rebuilt, again, but will only use it as a back up saw to a Sthil 462 I have recently bought.   Shame its so unreliable as when its running its a great saw.

Sounds to me, like it was originally a PSI Leakage, from the Need of a Ring &/ Piston Change.. (Did it start 'Gurgling/Spitting' between Refuels once run in hot.?.)
Heat not escaping from the muffler but overheating the body instead.. would be my guess..
Was the Air Intake Boot checked for air escaping.? Newer Huskys tend to blow out a gap back there & need a new seal, Either replace whole boot section suggested) / DIY it yourself with a temp resistant sealant..
If can access the Cylinder Base Bolts (and they aren't spot-welded shut),, Check base for signs of any leaks too..
If sure thats ok,, check the cylinder with a PSI Gauge for any leaks.

I wouldn't suggest porting it / drilling the crank case,, without checking the unit over as a standard saw 1st..
I've only been tinkering with saw guts, just over a year now, so who am I to say whats right/wrong,, just suggestions..



 

It ran pretty well once running,  just would not start after a 20-30 minute break.      In fairness one of the two bolts that held the muffler on was missing,  ( visible on the front of the saw),  maybe that had an input.  If so my fault as it had been missing for a while and I did not bother replacing it as it seemed to run just fine without it.    I did nothing repair wise to it at all,  I took it to the local Husky dealer who supplied it,  I know when I am out of my depth !!.

As mentioned previously.. find a new 'Dealer' .. [emoji106]

Missing Mufflr bolt wouldn't help matters though bud.. With Heat escape,, It could of caused a numerous amount of problems,,
That said,, Chainsaw maintenance & up keep of the saw is/should be a priority of yours as the Private Owner/Occasional Operator otherwise.. its your Health at Risk if it goes 'Pete tong' due to using an unsafe saw.

Check it over as a Standard Unit for Leakage from front to back of the saw,, & Post Update (with pics if poss)..
The top hood & side covers will show scorch marks where your worst leaks will be..
Replace the Gaskets & Check psi again.. with Equal Tension on Your Bolts. (Opposite to opposite)..
If you don't know what to do/how yourself,, Go to a Prof Saw Repair Shop..

Keep us updated & Good luck with your saw doooood[emoji106]

Its running at present,  since it came back its done about two hours work,  been cleaned, sharpened, fuel emptied and put away.  Unless we get more storm damage I have about a days work with the 462 till next spring,  thats ringing large branches with the 25 inch bar.

 

But I do need to find a better Husky repairer for the future.
