Got her back today. Should be able to give it a decent run this weekend and see how it goes.

Shop said the logs were saying no spark when it was bogging because of a bad coil. Replacement coil should be here next week.

I have no idea myself. Is the pressure higher when the tank is fuller? I just noticed that every time prior when I have opened the cap it spit/sprayed out a bit gas. This last time I opened it when I ran it dry it did not do that.

"Used to" might be a bit inaccurate of a description. I just noticed that it did not appear to have as much pressure when I opened the cap after running it dry. But honestly, it may just not have had enough fuel left in it to spray some out a bit the way it did before.

It actually has run a bit more consistent if i let it idle a bit more often, but at only 6 tanks of fuel could just be coincidental. Just dropped it off at my local servicing dealer. They said by what i described it sounds like a possible coil issue. They are going to plug it in and check...

I use only recreation fuel that is always pretty fresh and either a premium or Husky 2 cycle oil on all my saws. But Andy may be on to something with the limp because of fuel supply. Yesterday when I opened the tank after running it dry there was no pop or pressure of any kind. Not like it...

You might be right. It will be at least a couple weeks until i will have the weekend day available to go cut up that ash tree and my 550xp needs to go in for a leaky tank anyway, so may as well just take them both. I will give my servicing dealer a call tomorrow and see what he thinks.

Well, i just ran it for 50 minutes pretty hard bucking up some beach, mulberry, pine, maple and ash. Only shut it off to tighten the chain up a bit and it fired right back up. Ran until the tank was almost empty then bogged a bit. I leveled it out and revved through it and then cut cookies out...

Actually i am up in mid Michigan. I just buy my saws from them.

I have been reading a bit about these having a break in period programmed into them and a fail safe limp mode. Maybe I am just running it too hard? After all, I will be topping it off for its 6th tank likely tonight. With all the stops I made yesterday it didn't flinch either. When it runs good...

Purchasing dealer is in Massachusetts, but i have a servicing dealer nearby. Both are great to work with. After the next run and videos i will contact the purchasing dealer and see if he can swap it out or has heard of similar issues with others he sold. If not, i will take it to tbe servicing...

Yes, it did the same thing in colder weather too. When it first did it i thought it ran out of gas. (First tank back in April when i got it) I openend the cap and looked in and noticed it had a quarter tank left. So i closed it up and fired it back up and it still bogged. So i topped off the...

So am I checking to make sure there is nothing in the vent from shipping etc? and make sure it is not clogged? It has done this right from the first tank of gas. If I top the tank off it will still not run without bogging until I let it cool down. It will always start, but when you touch the...

My 572xp bogs out when it gets hot. It usually does it about an hour into cutting or when I am getting close to 1/4 or so of a tank left. If I let it sit and cool for a bit it will start to run again but only for a short while until it starts to bog out again. Does it sound like it is going to...

I got mine with a 24" .058 bar and x-cut chain. I didnt ask what else he had in stock, but he does have the 20" x-cut. Didnt ask if it was .050 or .058 I have 28", 24", and 20" setups for my 465. All .050 none x-cut. Going to toss those on the 572 and see how it does.
