Do I need a 562XPGW?

[jake wells]

is it ported Jake? Should be closer

not ported has extra slit in the muffler with no base gasket.
compression is 160.

I put a 272 cy/piston, intake, carb, and MM on a 66 and that badboy had some grunt!! Deleted gasket and cleaned ports up

when they get the kinks worked out of the 562 i will get one otherwise i will stick to my saws.

Iam with you Jake It's a shame the 562 isn't quite lasting that well after all I think it's a pretty slick looking saw ,to be honest I nearly bought one about 6 months ago but with AT and longevity issues I may wait a little while to see how things unfold.

mine has grunt too. my buddy has a 272 with just a base gasket delete with no muffler mod and it runs quite well but it is a pain to start.
it has .017 squish also.

Dnt know which 1 I like better. Had a used bar here for the 562 so I figured I would test out the feel.

If u take a picture standing over them u can really see the difference in width

I put a 421 on hold. Figure I should have at least 2 Dolmars

In the opening post of this dustinwilt said 562xpgw won't be available for 2017. Do you know if it's the xpgw combo. Or the xpg alone or xpw that are being discontinued? I was just wondering. Was kinda dreaming of owning a Husqvarna with heated handles someday.
