Husqvarna 592xp woes and fixes

[Tor R]

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.

... and the beat goes on.

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.

#Husqvarna WTF?

Well folks, seems that this is what is supposed to help these saws along in the cold weather.


The owner stopped as low as to read the owners manual and after doing so had me get one of these on his saw before taking it back out in the woods.
I just minutes ago was told that the new replacement part is updated and needed up for the cold weather.
So, hopefully I don't see this saw again until the muffler finishes what it started.

Info...

It did require drilling the lower left hole as there is only a dimple there. I gauged it from the one under the sticker and came up with a number 32 drill bit fit perfectly.
Otherwise, just follow the directions.

I'm guessing the updated intake boot will do more with cold weather longevity than that cover will do. I'd think that is more for carb icing than anything?

Mines and XPG so the carb isn’t icing and old boot still tore

I'm sceptical myself, but the owner read the manual, I did not. So, I guess it's a trial, wonder if he'll take it off when it hits 23°F or not. Maybe I should order a new piston and cylinder now. Lol

I can't help but wonder how the saw could come through with flying colors in pre-trials in every kind of climate as they said prior to release?
