Here's a little reading for you, some you may find helpful, some not.Hello everyone. I have a question for the 550xps little brother 545.. Does anyone know what the needle height should be set too on the carb? Walbro AT-1 here specifically, but I assume it would be the same for the 550xp carb?

I just read through Workshop manual, I belive the needle height is flush with the carb body.Hello everyone. I have a question for the 550xps little brother 545.. Does anyone know what the needle height should be set too on the carb? Walbro AT-1 here specifically, but I assume it would be the same for the 550xp carb?
I have a few AT-1 carbs, one of them come from an 545 year 2013, I'll try to rememeber to find it tomorrow and check where the needle is setThanks @Tor R ! I did not know that thread existed It looks like my needle is low from the factory.. unless someone has been in it before. Based on the stiffness of the diaphragm and the condition of the pump side, I think it's original.
BTW, I hope your feeling stronger every day!

sorry, I had forgot itHi @Tor R Hope you are feeling better! Have you had a chance to check one of the other AT-1s for needle height?
proprietary bearings.What bearings are used in the 550?
Are they proprietary ones or just standard bearings with seals?
Before or later we will all end up to work with one of those 5xx saws Brian.@Tor R
Looks like I'm going to be working on my first 550 at some point.
Dad brought his over yesterday and said he can't get the muffler to stay tight. So I put it up on the bench and looked at it.
Looks like he kept hitting the muffler as he used it. It finely cracked the lower ears on the muffler then loosened up at the cylinder and striped the holes out.
I'm guessing he will just end up getting a new one as this one has a ton of hours on it.
So my question is.... What are the must have updates for these saws if I end up rebuilding it down the road?
It's a 2013
