Husqvarna 550 Mk 2 or older MS 261-CM

This guy says AT adjusts for different fuel types and temperature, @2.50

Echo, in that case you will not be buying anything new then as everyone has "small print" …..

I would have thought you would have loaned out an old saw as you had already said you had concerns about your new saw ? so why take the chance ? hence my comment about your 041.

I'm glad I can help !!

I haven't watched the video but as spud has explained the temperature reading is at the carb not the engine. 

 

Engines usually get too hot because poor or not enough oil in the mix or over revving. I guess the AT is programmed to expect the mixture is correct and adjusts depending on the engine speed, throttle position and the temperature at the carb.

 

Husqvarna have a global warranty in place so I assume it's the same warranty no matter where you live. Tbh they are quite fair on warranty issues. They expect you to have the saw serviced by a husqvarna dealer, carry out routine maintenance and use a good fuel/oil mix which is fair.

AT adjusts for the ambient air temperature flowing through the carb not the saw temperature. Different fuel types are alkylate or pump fuel for saws. I use Aspen2 in my saws even the ones that say 25:1 mix and have no problems. Carry on Echo I'm sure you'll find a saw that suits you one day from a dealer who really cares about you I'll come back and have a look in a few weeks, good luck with your quest.

Carry on yourself, see how far your sarcasm get you.

I think it closed source code, don't know anyone that has unraveled it, and I never said they measured engine temperature, and as Stubby pointed out, there is no thermocoupler, so they must use magic.

Talking of sarcasm, you dont do so bad yourself

Look who is talking Gary, you,, if you read the title of this thread, you would have realized none of your comments were in the least bit helpful, and here you are again proving so.

Looking at this thread whatever advice you are given you seem to argue about or know better so any advice is a wasted on you

[Echo]

I am not arguing, I asked a question regarding two items am interested in,

people put forward other suggestions, and I commented on them explaining my past experiences, and current ones regarding purchasing the items in question.

No one needs the kind of comments you posted.

 

I have contacted the admin so hopefully this will get sorted.
