Huskyboy meets the 572xp

[Farmchuck]

All us northeasters would hang out there. Lol

Bob has a nice store. I would happily bring donuts & coffee to hang out there.

 

[CR888]

Yup..I'd love to have a spud-like dealer too, he gets saws old ones too, the commercial side, the corporate side, homeowner needing a new blade, basically besides being good with saws he understands 'people'.

 

[andyshine77]

Yeah It would sure be nice to have a dealer like Bob near by. I had a good dealer that was in the area I grew up in, bought a lot from him over the last 35 year's, it was also a hobby and bike shop back in the day. Bought a commercial mower, Stihl trimmers, saws and lots of parts. He retired a bout two years ago, passed on the 60 year old business to his sister and brother-in-law. I knew it wouldn't last long, about a year.[emoji22]

 

[chipper1]

Your a good guy Bob. Wish more dealers operated like you do.

Many dealers wouldn't know how to take the part off a saw or trimmer.
Another member stopped by last week, said he stopped at a dealer on the way and they didn't have a sprocket .
I have a good husky dealer about 30 mins from me and a good stihl dealer about 45, glad they are there when I need them, I send a good amount of business to both.

 

[huskyboy]

Well I wish I could have something to report back to you guys regarding something with the saw other than it’s running great lol... zero issues. The rim sprocket is just about ready to be replaced already just to give an idea how much wood this saw has cut.

 

[andyshine77]

Seem like good reliable saws don't they.

Mine is on it's third tank.[emoji16]

Actually something interesting that I noticed is how clean the clutch area behind the drum stays for a inboard clutch saw. They have venting on the front and back of the clutch housing to allow airflow and debris to fall out. I don’t think I’ve seen that before on a inboard saw yet. Great idea. Opposite this front venting I circled, behind the clutch on the back there is venting. Can’t really see it in my pic, but if you shine a light in there you can see it.

 

[huskyboy]

I will also add... in a not so proud “real world” moment recently, I had to get the saw out of a pinch quickly before it was to be crushed by the tree. I literally pried it out of there to save it. I can assure you people with confidence that the AV system and AV limiters are very durable after that fiasco. Lol

 

[Farmchuck]

Thanks all for keeping folks like me updated on this saw. I personally had high hopes for it after the long wait for it. Seems like so far it was worth the wait.

First couple complaints from me: the start/stop/high idle switch is impossible to use with a lined glove on. Try all you want, it ain’t happening.
Second complaint: it was boggy in the cold off idle all day today. No idea why. Does a guy really have to let it idle ten minutes to get A/T to reset off idle like I’ve been hearing rumours of? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Ha ha.

Other than that she definitely ain’t shiny no more.

Does the bog go away when the saw is warm? The on off controls on the the new Husqvarna saws are not my favorite, I've even accidentally hit the momentary off switch a few times while rotating the saw, it needs to be a strong detent.

I don't believe letting the saw idle will help anything, that's the first I've heard that. How cold are we talking?

Original plug and fuel filter? Start with those.

Good call, yeah it’s probably getting there.

yeah it goes away after about ten seconds. Not the end of the world, just annoying.

It goes away when warm? If that's correct it's pretty normal for many saws, especially strato saws of all makes.

 

[huskyboy]

Gotta warm em up and introduce them cold metals to each other lol.

That's interesting, if that was one of my Stihl saws or others it would be covered and well packed with fine saw dust & oil. Like the oil pump area and the side of the case. That looks way clean for a saw that hasn't been hosed off with compressed air.

When was the last time you bought saw gas from the gas station?
If you are running summer gas then the Reid Vapour Pressure psi is too low to run properly in those temps.

I’m actually running 100LL. That’s probably it though, I haven’t bought gas in two months and this is the last can out of that barrel. Can’t hurt to throw a plug at it and filter though too. Actually I really should pay the whole works some attention. I’m five chains in already. Lost fuel count now. I’m getting complacent cuz it just runs when I need it. Ha ha.

My apologies if this has been asked but do the larger West Coast dawgs for the 572 (#589772101) fit the 372/2171?
