Mark great catch, there seems to be a pattern here.

I was staring at the butterfly for some time until I saw your cheat sheet pic#2, completely allowed since we are not in college!

And there it was, the periscope peaking at me.

@Bryan Newton is having some issues right out of the box with his saw.

@huskihl caught a few right out of the box.

My own 550 MK2 had an issue right out of the box before a drop of any fuel, caught by the great @Stump Shot.

I do believe that the very few exceptional builders here that care about their customers has its weight in gold!

Good read.

Honest question why not simply remove the existing line and shorten it? I mean I know the echo line is good stuff, and he has to send the husky line in for warranty purposes, but for the average shade tree saw mechanic it seems like it would save some dicking around.

Yea a quick fix is better than D-in around for sure .

Hi Donny
My 592 had the same issue when I went to pick the saw up as it was to be started for the first time on pre-delivery. It wouldn’t fire after half a dozen pulls. He took it into the workshop, came back out, said fuel hose was kinked! Didn’t show me though. Mine was one of, if not close to, the first saw started in nsw Au. Back in Feb/March. You are the first I’ve heard of since then mentioning this and putting it out there to others, an easy fix to a stupid mistake quite obviously, well surely, noticeable to the person whom fitted it. Only thing I’d like to really see done on the 592 is a decent sized read Bigger Air Filter. Luv this saw

Ported 592, RBS stack filter. Stock cover.

This was the set up I tested first. Chain was sharp then I caught the dirt so the next two weren’t great comparisons as I could feel the chain was a bit dull in the cut. I was running short of time so just carried on. You’ll see the saw nearly pulled me over the log ha ha.

RBS filter modified top cover.

This felt the best in the cut. Both tests with the rbs filter felt more torquey. The comparison isn’t great because of the chain. I also think given more time for carb adjustment the differences would be better.

Stock filter and top cover. Last tests.

These tests were all in horn beam. The wood is solid apart from a bit of rot in the middle. 36” b&c full comp chain. The saw pulls that set up like it’s nothing.

I’m happy with the new recipe. Different timing from my last one, different machining and some piston work. This is my own saw so I went a bit more on it to test things out.

Hornbeam is like Beech's harder and heavier brother. I can't imagine how heavy they were in widths like you see there. We mostly use it for impenetrable hedges here. I have never see hornbeam that wide.

Yeah I’m sure it’s harder than oak on the janka hardness scale.

It’s too heavy. These big bits were moved by an excavator. I’ll be cutting them all up in to tiny bits to move it. Lol.

Mark great work in testing and re-testing.

Carpinus Betulus is the hardest wood in my region, I live a few south of Mark.

Rest assured that this species will test your sharpening skills and any builder attention to detail skills.

5 year old dry as a bone log made me lose one of my aggressively filed square teeth. No problem what so ever on the angry 346 Randy @Mastermind formula, and no problem on the other angry 550 MK2 @Stump Shot Steve formula, both 20" bars.

I can only imagine what this beast can do once fully broken in.

That is gonna be some awesome firewood there.
Usually when I run in to hornbeam, I leave it alone if I can.

Thanks Mike. Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing how it is after a few tanks. Got some cutting to do over the next few weeks so should get some fuel through it.
