Help needed to decide.

It doesn't matter, they chop and change the carbs around like nobody's business, give it another couple of months and they'll whack a different one on, they're usually the same carb kits

[Stubby]

What about the little problems the new Auto tune Huskys had?

I found out that the carbs were replaced.

So both of the XP's will now use a Zama EL46 carb instead of the original EL44.

 

I had a new carb replaced under warranty . The aouto tune needs to be set as per the book . Basically cut hard for a few mins . There is an updated coil and an improved starter pull mech . I would imagine most new stock will have had these updates . The coil was to aid hot start , the starter was braking with constant use . I fitted the next hotter plug on mine to help with hot start . I don't have a problem starting mine at all now .

Hopefully the dealers help and replace the faulty parts.

I hope the one I ll buy is has already the improved stuff on it.

Is there a way of me knowing it prior to buying it???

So.....

After my visit at the Husqvarna exhibition here are some weight results...

550XP dry weight with 18" bar and chain attached 6,01 Kgs.

560XP dry weight with 18" bar and chain attached 7,10 Kgs

 

Conclusion: The 550 is much lighter compared to its big brother.

And I am afraid that the difference in weight will be increased if full with oil and gas due to its larger tank.

 

Ouffffffffffffffff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Now I am more confused...

[Enduras1]

I ve lost my sleep over this....

 

On the other hand and because I aint gong to buy a larger saw in my lifetime and because everyone is talking about a 2 saw plan of one 50 and one 70cc saw here is what i think.

 

To get the 560 and make the 2 saw plan adjusted to my needs consisting o a 40cc (my 338XPT) and a 60cc (the 560XP).

 

What do you think???

 

And a last question...

Because I am not a pro logger and I wont be using it all year long, will there be any prob if it sits on the self for 4-5 months???

 

Thank you and a happy new year to us all!!!

If you know its going to be sat a while remove the fuel and refill with fresh fuel. Ive got a big clearing saw [brushcutter] that comes out once in a blue moon all-ways put fresh fuel in it and it runs like a dream. Poor fuel management is the cause of a lot of premature engine failures imo.

You use motomix, so you will have no problems, and stop worrying!

[blackjack]

Whats wrong with getting two50 cc saws the same with different bar lengths ie 14 and 16" seems that would tackle what you need to do and keep it simple.

[Enduras1]

As Eddie says I use motomix or special treated gas so as far as gas is concerned it ll be ok cause I empty them and let them burn all the gas before storing them.

I meant the AT module. But it will adjust,

 

Thank you all for your answers!

 

Hopefully next week I ll go and get mine!

I am very impressed with the vids I see with the 560-562 and most havent been tampered yet but everyone says they rock!!!
