Which saws do you prefer in the woods??

Funny how these saws are only expected to last 2 years. Looked after, old school saws did much longer.

 

 

All saws are expected to last 2 years, that's the warranty. The 560 is only half way through its 3rd year of manufacture. Anything lasts longer if it's well maintained.

 

If you're 560 shed its ring pin, that definitely is a manufacturing fault, aggravated by the fact that modern saws are so restricted.

Hardly any wonder they Rev so hard they rattle themselves to bits, I may we sell the 560 when its back for another 372 seems a much stronger solid saw, maybe not totally comparable but no a/t so starts and goes better

I heard something about inclined cylinders being more prone to fuel cooling issues due to the mix/gas follow through the engine. The incoming mixture has a part to play with cooling thus the 2-stroke oil has a significant impact in this respect.

This is bang on the money! The 560 gets especially hot, to the point that I've burned myself on the crankcase, near the rear AV mount. This also caused 3 oil gallery replacements under warranty where it had warped and split. My advice is to get a muffler mod to aid cooling, and use a better rated two stroke oil, if not aspen (as it burns cooler).

The ever-constricting emissions regs means the outlet gets smaller on mufflers, leading to increased temperatures on the saw, coupled with higher temperatures from the combustion of ethanol is a recipe for disaster.

I have always done it with my huskys, let's it breath and stops it coking up.

Hope all is well Jon. See you in a month at blandford

I did from the start, it still didn't cool the saw enough
