Husqvarna 550xp

Glad I read this post. I was about to buy a 550 myself. Thinking I'm gonna wait a bit to see how the auto tune deal works out. I hope you get your saw fixed without costing you any change Keith.

Just my observation, but it seems to be about a 50/50 chance at getting a lemon when you buy a 550

I don't know if it's quite that high but a few have had problems. My local husky dealer has only sold a handful of these though.

My local husky dealer told me yesterday ya we service everything husky makes. I ask if he had diagnostic setup for autotunes. He said we work on 372s all the time and none of the huskies require that. He had never heard of a 550,562, or a 576!!! Lol!! Looks like ill be sending this one back to Lee at Lil Red Barn

Sounds like he's real up to date. Probably be better off sending it back or buying the software yourself.

 

[Keith Gandy]

Wonder how much software would be?

I am pretty sure (shore) Randy bought it. Might want to seek his advice...

200 euros

The old reader I have is not updateable now. Husky changed the update system....

I can still check for codes, and reset fuel settings, etc.

I doubt he is seeing a firmware issue.....

Keith,
Just curious but, did you , or can you, take a tach to the idle to get a Idle RPM....
I had a similar problem on a saw a few weeks back ( NOT A/T) and it turned out to be a washer was misplaced( reversed) on the clutch assembly.

I wish there was a way to bypass these A/T sensors so you can eliminate the Computer from the "problem".

I can try my stihl edt8 tach but not sure it will work. Its not idling high that I can tell though and the clutch spins freely

I'm betting on bad voodoo from the goatbot! Really hope you get it squared away Keith!

Awesome! Glad you got it figured out! Have fun feeding it some wood.

 

[lwhaples]

Happy ending. Sweet

 

[beaglebriar]

Glad it was a simple fix!

 

[jmssaws]

I was going to suggest trading it for a stihl but nevermind.

Not a bad idea though.
