560 filter performance

[Pete Mctree]

We are having issues with the filter performance. Fine particles are working there way through it consistently & in sufficient volume to worry me about the longterm performance have worries about the saw as it's going to damage the piston.

The only other person I have queried about this has seen the same issues. Who else has seen this?

My 550 did a piston and barrel and went to husqvarna under warranty. They added a heavy duty filter because fine dust was found inside the intake.

Maybe worth speaking to your dealer and seeing if husky are adding a h/d filter for your 560 as a modification.

Which filter is fitted? Black or yellow housing? Black is more open than the yellow (twice the size almost)

See if you can get the american market 562 " hightop " housing and heavy duty filter .

Well, here's mine and its a yellow bodied one. Quite worrying really. Think everyone needs to check this on their saw;

 

Note inside the filter

 

 

Note the dull appearance on the black entrance moulding, that is actually a build up of dust;

Mine's the same. I'll call my dealer tomorrow and see what he reckons.

 

Stubby, you seem to have had every problem possible with your 560 - what's your filter like and are you still running the stock one?

Well, I'm in no rush to sort ours out. Broken brake band too now.
