XP550 problems

I don't really understand why you seemingly are having so many issues in the UK, that are more or less non-existent on other markets.

Did they use the UK as a "test" market for the really early production saws, or are a lot of UK dealers just clueless?

My 550 is a 2011 one - as far as the dealer knew, it was about the first one sold in the UK (rather than a demo one). So far, mine's been faultless. But, it doesn't come out every day.

My 560 is a 2011 one . petemate has modded the muffler and had a new carb was fitted as an update (under warranty) within a week of buying it and since then has been faultless .

If you want a trouble free 550, go on ebay and buy a 254, then send it to spud and get it ported. 550 performance and no electronics.

I know this thred was 550 orientated but I'd mentioned my 560 problems, well New pot and piston fitted, ran like a pile of poo, back in plunged into computer and at full rpm the comp said tickover and when ticking over comp said running rich then wouldn't return to tickover then wouldn't reach full rpm.

Now had new carb and all electrical bits replaced, still won't run right so at last huskvarna have said enough is enough it's a dead loss saw so off to pick up a new replacement one from dealer next week.

So now I have two as bought another while all the fixing was going on as could not cope being without my main groundsaw.
