562XP MKII For Raffle

[Mastermind]

Here we go fellas.....

This thing is nothing like the original 562XP.


Like the 550XP MKII and the 572XP, they did a great job separating the hot cylinder from the carb box.

The muffler looks like the 550XP MKII as well.


They raised it up to allow heat to escape too.


The jug is also quite a lot different.

Dished piston....but I'm cool with that. I just took an extra .010" out of the squish band.



Better base gasket too....


Transfers are a little different.


Transfer covers compared to original 562XP.

Want, and don't anywhere near need. My ratty 562 v1.0 is plenty for my adventures. The ported saws are fun, but that one is the one I always take.

I thought you didn't like the 5 series Huthqvarna ?

Is the port timing the same stock on the MKII as the previous 562’s?

If there is any difference, it ain't much. But I didn't check it stock.

What I like is not important.

Bubba has a ported 562XP that I don't hate using. My 357XP feels lighter though.

No.

I wonder what would happen if you put the bigger transfer covers on a Mark I, or the smaller ones on the Mark II?

They don't interchange.

Will this saw make compression from the RPMs and the muffler ?
