not had a problem with my 560xp run it about 4 hours a day for the last 6 months never fails . . . as long as you turn the choke off as soon as it farts then she starts within the next 2 pulls . id rather have my husky than a stihl .

i know we dont want to hear this way but a few copper nails banged in the trunk leve it a few years and nextdoor will be asking you to take it out . or use some of the better ideas passed on from the forum .

i know that the 500i is a fair saw but i also know that a friend of mine has been running his since they came out . well i say running his he is on his 3rd replacement under warranty due to parts falling off or breaking down . in the same time i have been running my husky 560 ( i know its not the saw you looked at ) with no issues .

my limited thoughts on this are yes you need it to stay in your bar and chain but you also want it to fling off so its self clearing . just think if it isn't clearing fast enough how your chain and bar will clog and cook itself or how much will build up in the chip ejection area . just my thoughts i may be wrong.... and according to her indoors i am .

but is it ? at the moment round me im getting the husky one at £18 a gallon . now petrol round me is £1.75 l = x 4.5 = £7.86 a gallon + £10 a L for the basic sthil 2 stroke mix + £17.86 . yes i know that you can get a number of uses out of the 1l oil but hey i just turn up and fill up no mess with having to get the right mix .

well i do that at my local saw shop but its .. bars , chains ,strimmers ect. be honest who needs to eat . 😄

my turn ... well i own the 560xp and have found it easy to start when hot or cold - cold just give the prima 2-3 pumps choke it then pull normally 3 pull it coughs push the choke to run next pull shes off but pull past that first cough in choke its flooded . when hot just squeeze the trigger once then pull and shes off . squeezing the trigger that once opens the carb to fast idol for starting .

do you know any one with a welder that can weld some nuts onto the top of the rounded off bolts so you can remove and replace them ? i have had to do this a few time on sheared exhaust studs . or is your crank aplastic one that wont take the heat .
-
ok thank you adw think my supplier must have had a fubar moment .
-
why oh why didnt i get the right scrench with my husky it fits the bar nuts but not the plug. the larger size wont fit the plug ( too big ) and it wont fit in the head space. bugger i will have to go shopping again anyone know the correct size ? thanks in advance.
-
nope never give it the caveman as i always let the saw do the work never force something that can bite you back .
-
both tensioner and oiler are fine as when i swapped back to the h25 it never happend again leading to ultra poor chain and i wasnt going to try the other one for risk of damaging either myself or my nice saw .

all i can say trigger_andy is can you tell me the lotto numbers for next week as your the lucky one .

well on a update to this post after trying one for about 10 min's and having to retighten my chain about 3 times i eventualy threw it in the scrap pile after it came off the bar whilst in some wood . went back to my well used ( on its 3rd sharpen ) H25 and it still cuts like its cutting butter . think ill stick with the H25 just because it's not only safer but better ,
-
and there i was thinking it was a skip tooth what do i know.....;. dont you dare .
-
just had a dig through some replys on the search section and they seem to be a cheep chain for rough ground work that you wont mind throwing in the skip when you have ragged it to death . so usable to a degree.
-
this has proberbly been asked a million times but what are your thoughts on them as i can get 2 for the price of 1 oregon chain . thanks in advance .
-
you tell me what dealer would put a new bar and chain on a new saw upside down ? i know if my mate did it at the shop he works at it would be the shop that he used to work at .
