    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    First thing I do too. I've had people bring me saws many times and said itcran when they put it on the shelf years before. First thought is fuel system but I pull the muffler anyway. That saved me from needlessly buying a carb kit and doing uncessasary work more than once.

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    I matched the SKF numbers pn the bearings in addition to using the Husqvarna parts numbers in the IPL. The IPL lists the bearings per saw S/N.

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    I forgot I have a question. I was talking to the tech at the shop about the mixture numbers on the printout. When it failed they were near 100 which I expected to be rich. He insisted that indicated lean which made no sense. Can someone pleaee confirm that the higher the number the richer...

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    A couple Santa Cruz Mountain banana slightly that were on the driveway outside the garage. They only live on the west coast. This one was pretty big at about 6" long.

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    Ok, an update. Last weekend I went to the dealer for parts. They had the bearings and seal in stock. The saw is not a Mark 2 and used an older bearing. The PTO side was $10 and the flywheel side $60. Ouch. They said because it was for and older model they'll never use it and gave me the...

    Husqvarna 562XP - Any source for steel-caged bearings?

    Yesterday before checking this board I went to the dealer. The PTO bearing was $20 and the flywheel side was $60. That Flywheel side was supercedes in 2020. He said they haven't sold any in years and offered the pair for $40. I took that deal. I also picked up the seals. They didn't have a...

    562xp Salvage

    I got this saw with a scored piston not running. I'm reporting what I found so I really don't know the root cause of this problem.

    The short story is the flywheel bearing cage failed and only caused an air leak while running and under load. The carburetor threw as much gas as it could at it and it overheated. I'm considering options now.

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    Yesterday I split the cases on the saw. The flywheel bearing failed which I didn't expect. You can see it here: Look at the spacing at the portion of the bearing at the bottom of the picture. Very easy to see after I pressed it off the crankshaft: This is a 2019 model: I started a new...

    Husqvarna 562XP - Any source for steel-caged bearings?

    I posted last summer about a 562XP failure that I experienced in this thread: Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe. In a nutshell it experience lean seizure and I put that project down. Yesterday I got a wild hair to pull the crankcase apart mostly because I got sick of seeing that box of parts in...

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    I didn't explain that well. I didn't run the saw wide open with the chain in the air. I only ran it wide open when cutting logs. This is generous of you. I want to remove the seals and look at the bearings first. I also have a home-brew splitter that I made from some angle and bar that...

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    This alone helped. The tech I was working with didn't seem to understand which way was lean and which way was rich. He also was saying if the L setting was higher than H that would indicate a problem. I know how to set a 2 stroke carburetor and that didn't make sense. It would seem to me...

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    This is very helpful. I am new to these saws and appreciate your post - thank you. My ignorance on Autotune saws is part of the problem and the other part is I think I am working with a dealer that also doesn't understand these saws. I brought it in the first time (first data set posted...
