Husqvarna 592xp woes and fixes

Is probably a combination of the extreme cold, design and material, which makes it weak.
What might be interesting to know is whether there are other chainsaws with rubber boots that are cracking nowadays, or if it only applies to the 592.

661 Stihl and 620 Echo come to mind, but both of them have the carburetor mounted to the rear handle, which puts a lot more stress on the boot.

Was sent this tonight from a gentleman with a 592 that I did recently for him and also was cutting out in the cold weather.
Had the same symptoms, only speratic in nature.

Try ordering the updated part and see if there are any visual differences.

Ones I put on were the updated part.
Speaking of, how did you come to find it on Husqvarna's site. All I get is the old part number and unable to order no matter what SKU I use.

Upon looking at it further, I don't know that it can be called rubber. It looks more "synthetic" in nature and no doubt ticks a lot of boxes for dealing with fuel etc. As far as survivability goes, I'll have more on this, hopefully later in the day.

I found the part number elsewhere and just copy/pasted it into Husky's site. What I find strange is that it's not listed on the IPL for the 592, but it is the correct and updated part for it and the 585 as far as I can tell.
