And honestly of it was just a want thing I'd have many more saws just to have them. But in all reality 592 wise is not a need for me. I have a good running 394 two 2100s, a ported 390 and with my 572 and 500i they mostly collect dust. With the exception of giant stuff I'll drag out the 2101 with the 50inch or the 2100 with the 42inch. But honestly the capability of the 572 and 500 can really fill alot of gaps. And it's not lack of cutting big wood here. Because I'm rarely in small stuff.

My go too saws daily runners are my Stumpshot 572 and my stock 500 just west coast muffler cover. Some people keep looking for that pot of gold and go mad. Me I've found mine
My go to saw is a tweaked 572 and the 585 get pulled out for the bigger stuff. And yup what ever project saw happens to be in play , last year it was a blue 395 and the 572...the 572 stuck. This year its a 575 and yet another 572 build I'm developing.

That's awesome. And for me even the big guys I will always keep..even if I slush em less. Because if the giant bars come out, there is no beating that longer stroke and heavier flywheel.

And I think a 585 would be a good usable daily size, my 390 was and could be still.

Just stuck the old decal on for pics. The new one should be here tomorrow then it’s getting shipped. I’m liking it in black but I like all the 5 series in black 😁

Those filters def cut out the fine particulates, from getting in from stock around intake , put one of them on mine , 👍
I’ve used them on quite a few saws now. I like them. Doesn’t make much difference to the power on the 592 but it def did on a 372 big bore I built. Def fed it more air/fuel top end

Welp, I could use some pointers on debugging a 592. I bought mine in june of '22. Runs of 24 or 36" tsumura bar. DOM April 2022. Not a daily use saw at the tree service, its for my own personal sidework, and sometimes I throw it on the truck if I know we're gonna need multiple big saws on a tree job at the tree service. By August of '22, the protective collar around the oil adjustment bolt broke, and oil just flowed out of the control bolt. Took it to a shop and they replaced it under warranty. New oiler didnt oil for *s-word, my bar was changing colors along the rails so i hung it up and took it back to the shop. They did something something and called it good. Seemed to oil, i mean oil now leaves the tank and the chain is oiled-ish. Bought a 36" tsumura bar around July of 2023 for a 5' Sugar Maple take down. Big fat sucker at the base with maybe a foot of taper over 15'. Whole lotta wood. Got my notch in, start the back cut and the bar is smoking, the chain is derailing. Tension is right where it needs to be, brand new chain. Hung the f-er up and grabbed the 395 with a 32" bar to get the tree on the ground. Cant figure out this oiling situation. I've ordered a new pump, might mod it for flow, waiting on a clutch tool to pull it apart, seal up the o rings with some RTV. I've read about worm gears slicing oil lines, ill check all that. The OTHER debug is that my saw has no power at WOT under load. As in, free revving it sings just fine. Put 1' of bar in, she cuts and holds power. Bury the bar and it has no power.

Coil is tight and gapped. Changed the spark plug. air filter is clean. Pulled the muffler, no scoring on the exhaust side of the piston, some grey ghost streaks along the intake side of cylinder wall, nothing that will catch a toothpick. The Fuel vent line that comes out the side of the tank and into the carb box popped off, i plugged that in but notice a whistling sound. If i crimp over the vent on the tank side it goes away. Bad vent? how do i clean it, outside in or inside out? does the vent even impact fuel flow while running? thought it was just EPA crap. I have a new fuel filter, purge bulb hose and fuel line on the way. I cant understand how the saw would rev fine out of the wood then fall on its face under load. I tried 5 minutes of idle then ran it down a log with the tip buried to tune it in. only mod was removing the spark screen. Ideas?

If the vent isnt working right it can play a part in the saw not running properly. I'd just replace it. Have you changed the purge bulb and hoses yet? did that make a difference? Has this issue just started or has it always been doing it?

i should say, i'd wait until you've changed the purge bulb and hoses before ordering the vent. It's difficult to diagnose something like this without running it. Maybe @huskihl will have some input, i know he's done some troubleshooting on these.

The only one ive had an issue with needed a carb as it was flooding constantly. The carb that arrived then wouldnt hold pressure due to a score on the body. It was the 3rd carb that fixed it. The first one might have been fixed with a diaphragm kit but it was under warranty so the shop sent me a carb instead.
