Ive just been informed that when you purchase this type of saw with auto tune when you use the saw for the first time or when outside circumstances change (fuel,altitude,air filter etc.) that you must start engine accelerate the engine to full throttle and saw a number of cuts in a thick log (3-5 min) the saw must run (8,000-12,000 rpm)the entire time so that the carburettor can adjust itself.If the dealer explained this and more people read the manual then people wouldn't be moaning about this type of saw (me to both) so don't be lazy like me and read the manual and make sure that your dealer explains this function to you.I will try this when i get my saw back and let you know if it solves my problem.Kev

Will try it when I get mine back, another problem we've had is the exhaust gasket going and the heat goes between the exhaust and chain oil case, the case is glued together so it melts the glue and the case splits open,

Is it not part of the two crank case halves with a gasket then ?

Don't do it with a dull chain either!!! I love these saws but they are a one man experienced cutter saw ... I give my 560 to my groundy for the day he will happily dull the chain and it will run a bag of crap .... Hot starts take some figuring but that's why they have a primer bulb.

Hot start on mine is this .....ONE pump of primer and pull starter . It goes . No half throttle , choke or anything else .

Had mine same time as stubby I guess only faults have been the starter recoil and the brake band and both have been offered under warrantee and upgraded... I love mine ! The finest saw I have used , I seriously think the auto tune is the best thing developed but the saw in the hands of many people like a tree crew ,I would opt for a stihl as they seem to plod on regardless no matter if they are used blunt or filters clogged ect ... Pro husky saws are a one cutter saw only from my experience ... You need to check them over constantly for loose bolts first few months keep them sharp but in wood they are far more productive than the stihl pro range IMO if you are using them daily and figure out there quirks.
