560XP Crank Bearings

[Countryboy]

I run my saws on Aspen so can't make a mistake with the mixture I hope. The saws that I have get well looked after and are only used by myself and Sons.

I use HP Ultra. Perhaps I should upgrade to Redline.

I was planning to run my next new saw on Aspen , all i do is my own firewood these days , mind you my 1987 254 still runs very well and does not want to retire just yet

My 560 is the an early one ( 2011 ) with one less crank case bolt and has always been run on forecourt fuel ( not supermarket ) and red line racing 2T oil . Still going strong . Probably not done the hours that you get in the woods full time though .....

Where do you buy yours ?

i had a 550xpg which has had to have new crank bearings and a carb but it was cought early so no other harm was done

it was a early 2012 model but its not done much as i was at uni

Yes its the saws used in the woods that are suffering , cutters are finding it a bit galling as most ran 357 huskys and were used to getting a good year out of the saw before a rebuild

The plastic cage will not be a problem. I've built lots of 2-stroke racing engines for quads, carts, moto-x, and bikes and always use the best crank bearings I can get in the particular size at the time. I use C3's or even occasionally C4's if the application suits and they all come now with a plastic cage, it's not a problem.

 

What you do seem to be looking at however, is purely a poor quality bearing that's just not up to the job.
