Ya I came across that thread where the guy found the lil brass covered screw. I was going to give it a try next time I’m working on the 550 Thanks bro…… 👍ordered a set

Mmm it ran fine but I never cut with it as it was a cheap eBay grab. I made sure it ran and the compression was good and then ripped into it. It be nice just to know the carb rebuild info as all the kits out there are old type rubber diaphragm and the saw has some weird clear and blue mylar...

It was coming up on 2 tanks of fuel. I did the whole idle for 3-4 minutes and them full throttle cutting for over 5 min. Like I said it runs great and strong but it’s the off trigger to on trigger that it stalls out on unless massaged into spinning up from idle.

Looking for part numbers or where to buy for a Husky 550xp carb rebuild kit. This is not the Mark II unless the carbs are the same witch I dont believe they are....? Ive bought 3 supposedly correct kits from different places with no luck. Nothing is remotely looking the same. HLsupply...

What do you mean by "smooth out the piston"? .... Just smoothing out the casting in the mixing/flow passages. Nothing to lighten it or crazy piston polishing stuff. If the piston looks clean in terms of casting and sharp inner edges I may not touch it at all. Ya i had watched those vids a...

Im geting a used 565 for a great price and my plan is to port, smooth out the piston, and muffler mod. My question is will the OE carb or a 572xp carb be better. I know the two saws are very similar, but the stroke is a tad longer on the 572 and the auto carb high RPM setting is a little...

I use scraps of electrical conduit 1/2" n slash cut them

Well it would seem that TS bar oil is a bit too thick, I thinned it with about 8oz of diesel to a gallon and it’s running fine now. But I still don’t think it’s pumping enough as it’s set at highest output and still only barely oiling the bar.

Well maybe my pump or the system is screwy, guess ill have to tear the oil parts down :facepalm::loco:

Ya Ive read on many a forum that the new 562xp and higher modes are a bit light on the oil with a longer bar, but you would think Husky would make the oiler setting suit a 20-28" with the 3 positions...?....if its the pump-system. Id be happy with a thumb pump oiler like old saws used to have...

-Used pump ( black new gen ) was $30 shipped, no plastic worm gear. I really only got it to just see if it made a change at all. -The pumps is turned up to 3rd level max output -Cross 24”bar 3/8chain -slotted hole…..it’s now an oval 1/8 up/down x 1/4 front/back, and it’s still flat on edges as...

I hate to ask this question but im at a loss with out just throwing parts at this now. Is there anyway to increase oil pressure or output on the pump? My saw is new ( 5-6 tanks of gas ) bought last year during HD supply's big sale. It runs great, but has all the standard issues ....hot start...

Ha no just the only open work space at the moment. Using the mobile pipe vice for garden deer fence post repairs

Wrapped up the Mighty Mite with an extra quiet from scratch muffler as the tiny stamped box was disintegrated and turned into 7 pieces when unscrewed.....custom air filter setup too.

Changed indeed .404 mmm that’s big boy chain, I guess due to the lower comp n higher torque on the older big saws, big chain was not an issue. This little Rem’s chain looks like jewelry compared to normal 3/8 :nut:
