Husky 550 xpg starting problem when warm

[Stoke Wood Project]

Can't remember if they come with a 1 or 2 yr guarantee? Anyone?

I had the same problem with my first 550xp the only way it would start but is a big no no is drop start with full throttle.After a year going back and forward to the dealer they finally gave me a new saw which is fab.Might have to be plugged in to computer just like a car to see whats up with it.

Thanks 54gka. Might lean on the dealer a bit then. It's Radmore and Tucker, so it might be hard to get much out of them.

Hi Jon. Yeah, me too. Perhaps we ought to have a 'rate my dealer' thread on here! Might sharpen them up a bit??

I've had a 550 for nearly 2 years. Starts well when cold but has to be left ticking over for 30 seconds or so to let the autotune sort itself out. Once that's done its a real flyer. Starts very well when warm. Don't use the decomp button and it fires on one pull. It's only ever troublesome on two occasions. When it runs out of fuel and I don't use the primer before pulling it over. And when my mate Gary tries to use it!! It went back to the dealer and had a new breather? installed as a recall, which apparently caused starting issues. May be worth having yours done if it hasn't been already. A plug in at the dealer will reveal any faults. And just the one year warranty as I inderstand. Good luck with it.

What is the hot start mod, just out of interest. My 2 year old saw starts fine hot, but would be nice to know.
