Howdy Y'all!
I snagged a 562xp in 'for parts' condition recently, hoping to build a strong runner for my dad. Upon arrival, the saw help pressure and vac, and the piston and cylinder seemed in good shape. It's a 2018 model
After disassembling, muffler mod, and cleaning, I noticed the crank has quite a bit of resistance at certain spots in the rotation. Seems like the bearings are shot, even though the case held pressure/vac...total bummer. Especially after looking at what goes into splitting the case and installing a new bearing and/or crank, I decided to throw down on a whole new shortblock Husqvarna 580663712 for $200
I feel a little crazy throwing money and parts at a saw that I've never heard running... But was coming here to seek for any tips on troublshooting the saw once it's reassembled with the new short block. My big issue is the ignition system/coil and carburetor. Is there any way to test the functionality of it outside of plugging it in at a service center?
