@TreeLife what a bummer on such a beautiful saw.
@angelo c prior to my update on the MK1 and 562, I had the same work out on cold/hot on both saws, 6-10 pulls on cold before it popped. 3-5 pulls on hot restart.
After my Feb 2019 update, everything changed, max 3 pulls on cold before popping and 1-2 hot restarts on both saws. Also noticed a deeper richer sound which led me to believe the fuel mapping changed to ease starts/restarts.
Anyone on the MK1 and the 1st gen of 562s, one smart fellow expert member mentioned to stay off the decomp, AT will tend to over compensate and richen the mixture too much flooding the engine. This helped alot on hot restarts till I got the update.
