Most likely the coil to me . I had a stihl blower do the same . Replaced coil and end of troubles.

Yes they do . I've had many saws and the 576 I have is the saw that gets used the most . They are great to use and don't deserve the Blacksheap status they have got.

Muffler mod that 575 and do a base gasket delete and it will be right there with the 572 . The 575 /576 are the smoothest saws that you will use even against the very newest saws

The 592 definitely has big shoes to fill to equal a 395 . Are you interested in porting work or is it only for your own saws

Do a muffler mod it greatly reduces the heat build up. They have a real baffled up muffler from the factory that does them no favors. Still the smoothest saws I've ever used .

I've been running a few saws lately but the 572 has become a favorite. The autotune is so fast at retuning compared to the the older autotune ( and the mtronic ones I've run) that it's for me a no-brainer compared to a screwdriver saw . The other thing is the fuel usage is so low compared to...

I've just got myself a 359 . What's the advantage of going to a 357 piston and cylinder .

That's interesting. I do know of a guy that had 8 661s destroy themselves when they first came out so they certainly had their issues . Maybe I need to use a "good" one for a bit.

I wondered that because in the wood the 661s I have used are noticeablely down on power against a 395 .

Yip that is a big part of it . My stihl and husky dealers are both within 5 minutes of me and both aren't to bad so not an issue for me on that side of it.

My favorite 70 odd cc saws are the ones that get used . I'm down to 2 now a 572 xp and a 576 xp . All the others ,044, 365 special etc sat there and became a home for the spiders so I sold them. That's the test of a saw I think , if it gets picked up and used when others don't thats what I'm...

Yes I wasn't accusing you of having a blunt chain because I knew you wouldn't . LOL

Ok thanks for that. I thought it must have been by the size of chip coming off the chain .

How hard is sugar maple . Seemed a bit slow to me .

I found that you had to keep the chains that runs the feed mechanism real tight and if the chains had any visible wear on them you needed to replace them or risk them jumping off and destroying the feeding system. Also the bearings inside the feeding system had plastic caps on and if they...
