60cc class saws whats your pick

[CapitaineHaddoc]

Ive heard no hot start issues like the 562.

Never heard anythony bad about the 555 either, but I used 2 560 and 4 562 (actually 2 of them, ported by Randy and by Terry), and never have the hot start issue. I only had a bad EL-46 on my 1st ported one from Terry, and he fixed it pretty fast.

I wish we could get the 560 over here. I like the small mounts on the 50-60cc saws. I did buy a brand new 550xpg and sent it to Randy for surgery, while it was there I bought a brand new 545 case and had it all switched over. You can see it there on the left.

You're crazy Steven

By the way, if someone REALLy want a 560, I can help, but they're pretty expensive here...

Id have to do away with that grey paint too. It just don't look right on a husq.

I agree, but only about the clutch cover paint. I bet a 560 or 562 will look awesome with a 555 clutch cover and the grey crankcase!

The 560 XP crankcase is available in the US as a service part I believe, so if you have an older 562 with the five screw case that needs to be updated to the six screw case, that is an option. Or you could just get a set of 555 cases, paint the clutch cover, and have an all orange 560 XP

Hasn't that issue been fully resolved since they went with the el48? I have never had a starting problem with this saw. That includes several hot starts this summer in 90° heat.

The issues with the 562 only happen on AS, not here.

I've never had a tree care about the color of my clutch cover

Its no different than aftermarket rims and lift kits on trucks. Or on saws adding Sugis, Cannons, Tsumaras.

Think of the greats- 242, 357, 372, 262, 288, 272,390, 395, 3120 to name a few... they are all orange.

True, the wood will not know the color of your clutch cover. But the 562 just don't look right...it's fugly.

Yes they are orange. 18 different shades of it. The grey would be alright if it didn't come off so easily.

It also happens on YouTube there are videos of new 2016 stock with most recent version that will not start when hot. I just had one come back to the shop guy stating it will not start after using. I get to play with it Monday to see if it happens to me as well.
