Evening Tor. I have a 550 project on the way. Looks low hour but it's not running?? What's the most common issue with them?
good evening bud
Them 550's common issues, not sure where to start or stop :D
Leaky decomp, since the crankcase halfes aint perfect matched its a common problem with a tad leakage around the head gasket, flywheel bearing is more common compared against PTO, conrod bearing, leaky transfer cover, that was ruffly the normal issues.
On the good side, carbs & boots are good.......
A second hand 545/550/555/556/560/562 I doubt I would buy them, new (since it has waranty, or a project where I can rebuild the bottom part is probleby the only 5×× serie saws I want
