560 xp issues

[Jako1313]

Hi, just wondered if anyone could help my 3 year old 560xp has started to play up. I wouldn’t say it’s Bogging out, it’s just slow on pick up on the revs then at full revs doesn’t seem like it’s at full power. I wondered whether it’s the fuel filter or carb. Any info on this would be great. Thanks

I think it is bury the bar in a cut for a few mins .  Failing that take to a dealer and get it plugged in .

Fuel filters only a few quid, as RoughHewn found having a blocked one can be very bad for the saw (seized) so I'd change that anyway first if it hasn't been done in 3 years. Quite an easy job with a bit of wire to make a hook.

Spark plug, amazing how its often not bothered with just cos it will start. K

When was the last time the saw had its air filter cleaned......to clarify, "cleaned " means removed, split in two parts, a fluid such as white spirit, WD40 or carb cleaner applied and the air filter body and mesh given a good blast.

Cleaning doesn't mean a wash under tepid water and left to dry!

The Husqvarna reset  is to run the saw continuously for around 5 mins flat out. If your saw has been used for normal cross cutting flat out and under load, it shouldn't need resetting. If you have been carving, snedding or any cutting that allows the saw to bounce off the limiter then it will need a reset.

I was about to say! Is the reset blowing the top off to prep it for a rebuild! 😂 It sounds like some sort of time attack challenge to cut cookies for 5 minutes straight! Need a good amount of timber ready to go though?

Of course in wood and you can usually hear the AT reset if major work has been done. It just takes minutes to reset and the AT will continue to monitor and reset if and when required through normal use.
