nice to see you around again.
If you want 550 with the last updated p&c, 2015 week 42, but in week 54 they also came with new crank, bearings, top cover.

Must be made in Uranus

Can you say what the update change (2016 ,wk 10) was Tor ?
I dont have access to Huskies service bulletins Simon.

I got alot of service bulletins from a guy on AS, the last service bulletin I have is from 2016 week 10 when they came with the carb AT12, fuel hose, choke control.

If I should bought one 550 myself, I would bought the 2016 model, no doubt at all on that.

I have a few 550 that I'm building nowadays, one of them is a nice 2014 that I needed to swap the crankcase, I actually consider to swipe my card and buy those new type bearings.

yup, one update in 2016, week 10, improved acceleration and idle stability
My 550 was early 2015 and it never cranked easy and had a bog off idle if idled more than about 30 sec. I eventually found a leaking flywheel side seal and replaced it, sealed everything up , pressure tested the saw and no leaks. It got worse. I had to hold the trigger wide open to crank it and stay on the throttle to keep it running. Cleaned the carb several times and checked metering level but no luck. I threw the towel in and sent it back to where the saw orginally came from, husky dealer in Virginia, which they kept 2 months and could never fix. Traded it for the 562xp and not 1 problem so far. It had the EL42 carb which I think was the problem
