First question is the brake wasn't left on was it? Even the start-up needs high rpm to be taken off pretty quickly. Otherwise the cause would be heat warping from the saw, the 560 is known to get very hot. Muffler mod cures that though, but mine showed no signs of that prior to porting. Have you removed the spark mesh to aid cooling and keep the exhaust unblocked?

Parts drawings can be found on the husky website, they aren't into the secret squirrel stuff that Stihl is! The 365/372 xt versions are separated in the elbow to the carb, then separated through the carb boot to the strato ports and intake on the cylinder. Having used that model, I would say they are good, plenty of power, just don't use the sissy button or you'll never get the damn thing started! The 2 butterflies you're referring to is the throttle and choke butterflies

Husky originally used the carb-separated system, prime example being the 372 and 365 x-torq models, this was later sold to Stihl. That system uses an extremely large Venturi on the carb to compensate, leading to modders using the 372 carb on the 390 to pull larger bars after porting. The main reason behind the change-over is that it rapidly became apparent that the 2-mix strato system can be bypassed with a knife. In regards to autotune or m-tronic, the computer chip runs a very simple program. At idle it tunes the saw for idle by closing a circuit that powers a magnetic valve (higher speed -> more power to the magnetic coil -> open the valve more, allowing more fuel through, which lowers speed. Lower speed -> less power to the magnet -> valve closes), at high rpm, it repeats the same system, but at a higher power need. Not sure how the limited coils work with this though, as that would lower the 'pull'.

To summarise, yes, 2-mix is x-torq under licence, Husqvarna owns the patent after purchasing zenoah red max. Stihl now owns the patent for separating the air via the carburettor (same as the 372xp and 365), whilst husky owns everything else. The new cylinders are now made by a company chosen by Husqvarna and no longer by Mahle. The Stihl chainsaws were shipped to dealers a little lean on the low rpm, but, tbh if dealers did a proper carb set-up before handing the saw over, there wouldn't have been the problems. As for the unfounded statement, details about the patents can be found online.

Yeah... It's illegal over here -
I've had very good success with hyway big bore kits

I could, but I'd have it in bits to see what he was doing different to me

I know right, I'm trying to get the part numbers for the USA deflector muffler, as I don't like random holes in the muffler (even though the 357 is like a colander), and I haven't had time (362xp and 385xp are still in bits)
-
1) ported 560xp, ported 357xp, ms150t, 090 (if you have any 090's in stock, let me know) 2) trousers, boots and helmet 3) felling axe

They're the dogs! I got one of the first ones, it's also the only unmodified saw I own that hasn't got warranty (just bought a 201t-m). It's so light that my mother can use it to cut (she had a triple heart bypass last year), it's very quiet (sometimes I don't bother with my muffs so I can communicate) and it drinks very little fuel!
-
Only Stihl worth owning is a topper, they used to make really good big saws too, but now only the biggest is a decent ground saw. Husky is better from 50-95cc now.

That sounds a good idea, get your logs chopped for free

You poor, misguided sod!
-
You would think that, but the husky 365/372 x-torq workshop manual shows fitting the piston backwards... And there's also misprinted pistons.
-
You know Jon, even after 3 years, I still take 10 minutes to decipher you're posts. A muffler mod will cool the saw sufficiently. I don't know if I'm going yet, it's a long distance to travel.
-
I did from the start, it still didn't cool the saw enough
-
Emissions control, sooner or later, it'll be self adjusting carbs or fixed jets. Echo is missing a trick with the e-carbs, they're designed to run an optimal mix for correct rpm. Too few people know how to tune a saw and either end up with a saw screaming to its demise or running sluggish from an over-rich mix. Despite people's misgivings for the self adjusting carbs, I find that they work wonderfully, I no longer have to dick about with a tach and screwdriver when I port them. A lot of the 'problems' people have are user error, but unfortunately there's a lot of misunderstanding on how to set them up.
-
Not that I've seen/noticed, iirc, the IPL shows it uses the newer 2-part carb on husky patents rather than the older carb split (now owned by Stihl), so it's an even and controlled feed (so you don't get the bog that Stihl's suffer(ed) with. When dolmar finally gets the autotune carbs, it'll be interesting which generation they use.
-
Ah they arrived then! You dirtying them up tomorrow?
-
Isn't the 6100 a strato saw? Or is it the 6400?
-
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.

What drugs are you on?! And where can I get them
-
Most 60cc saws are lighter than the 362xp... The only exception I know is the 041! And yes, I'm aware that it's quads instead of twins! Although I will argue on the lighter than a 357, the 341/361's I've used feel heavier, but cutter maintenance is much quicker on the 362xp compared to the 357. Whilst you mention the handling, I don't feel it myself, but I do notice the extra time dicking about, trying to get the chain off.
-
Yeah, but the ms361 was just a slightly Stihl-ised version of the 362xp
-
TCD could be right there, uneven heat distribution or dissipation due to the oil could have cause irregular heat expansion that loosened the ring-pin? Or just a faulty batch of pistons from the manufacturer (gilardoni or something like that, niko will correct the spelling!)
