SOLD Husqvarna One Day Sale! - 20% off all chainsaws

[Matt Schmitt]

So my follow up question is, have chainsaw motor tolerances gotten tighter or looser over the last 20 years? Oil has improved significantly.

Lol I have no idea I just know it’s working at the moment and if it wasn’t I’d think I’d see something by now .

I think some members have discovered in the past that the piston and cylinder may look OK, but the lower end bearing were short on oil when running lower than 50:1 ratio.
Just curious on what you are basing your 80:1 oil theory on.
Have you pulled jug to see crank bearing and lower end? Just pulled muffler to see in?
Inquiring minds want to know. Lol

Maybe, and i’m talking out my butt here, the crank stuffers design on the 562 help to force the air-fuel-oil mixture down in there mo’ better? and keep her lubed up?... but there again, only an engineer or a twisted-wrench banana eating sausage fingered knuckle dragging portin’ primate can say for sure! Ahem....

But I’m thinking Matt would know by now if his bearings were burning up. And I’m also thinking he should run that saw into the ground on 80:1 and only when something fails catastrophic-ly does he need to do a dissection for us. But he’s on the hook for posting photos

Clogged air and fuel filters probably kill more saws these days than 80:1 ams soils... only to be outdone by the stupid stick and straight gassing... chuckle chuckle

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes. Very true. I was just speaking in general terms. Kind of thinking outloud.

 

[Skisawyer]

Me too.

Only inspection I have done is muffler pulled and looking in. But yes I wanna run it in the ground just to see how long it last on 80:1 and it’s not a theory why I’m running it they said it can handle it is why I’m trying it to test there theory.

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool. Love it. [emoji16][emoji106]

Stuffers just take up empty case volume so more of the mixture goes in to the transfers. Been a few threads here of people adding them to race saws.

Having just split a five series with MIA plastic bearing cages, I'll be using and recommending 40:1 in those from here on out. Keep us in the loop @Matt Schmitt

Whatcha working on Tim? 550?

Yah. I've got a 2252 and most of a 550 yet to do. Both will get bearings. I can't risk sending them out without a freshened bottom end.

You are build them to sail?

This one I did, and it came back. It was tight when it left but idk how long it sat before I first got it. I haven't decided yet how I'm even building the other two. I'd thought about a red and silver mashup and then I saw the thread with the 562 intake. Plus I want to get a little more serious about porting. To answer your question: I don't have a plan.

Will this be a mark II saw? If so, we need to talk

 

[NeSurcaster]

Thanks for all your support. I think we'll have the next sale in October.

Sounds good, lookin forward to it. 550xp mark2 may be in my future and a battery pole saw.

 

[I saw a lot]

I was informed that the 550xpg has shipped!

 

[JoeDirt]

Still planning on doing a sale this month?

I hope so, I saved all my pennies for a battery pole saw and maybe a 550

I hope they do for you guys sake, but for me, I hope they don't because I will buy something I don't need.[emoji16]
