Husqvarna 560XPG ...yr thoughts .....

Well , after approx 4 month use , the Husqy gave up -terminally ....It WAS the best medium felling saw I have ever used ( I do love HUsqy's) but this life span just aint funny at the price We paid fr it .

You can't say that and not pass on the grisly details. :-)

What went wrong?

Get it back to the dealers and get a computer diagnostic as you might find the warranty will Cover it if something was at flat with the saw and not down to fuel flat.

Mine was overreving by quite a bit resulting in a nip so new pot and piston, still ran like poo after so new carb, still poo so replacement saw.

Early 560's had there fair share of problems. Husky recognise this and i'm sure they would want to make things right.

Well, to belatedly update this thread - I fitted a new barrel and piston with my own fair fingers in February ......two months later after running like a dream , it seized once more ! ( Genuine Husqvarna bits ) Seriously , after seeing so many rebuilt ones on Ebay , its about time Husqvarna sorted this out - It's gone back to Ernest Does at Uttesford, where we got it from and I hope Husqvarna Technical have a bloody good answer for all of this as I cannot recommend them any more after 30 yrs of using their saws -happily .

( Personally I think it is this self tuning business - )
