Who's running 592s and 585s?

[DC1072]

If it's new. Take saw to dealer, ask them to repair, replace or trade it in. You need a different or repaired saw. Every brand has that saw being a dud, same with anything mechanical, cars, trucks, appliances and tools.

Thanks for the input there I’m gonna do that

OK just some information on a potential durability issue. I now know three saws where the recoil shaft has snapped clean off the housing. One saw has gone through two recoils now, it's a logging saw. The other was on a built saw making 200psi of compression. The early 562xp had the same exact issue, they eventually beefed-up the housing.

Used my 592 the other day, it still starts fine cold, when warm a couple times it took three or four pulls, but most times one pull when warm. It's not quite as refined as the 572 with it's running characteristics, but far ahead of the early 5 series saws.

Are they drop starting those saws, not using decompression on cold starts?

I'm back to 7 pin on the 572. that thing have so much torqe in hard wood.

I have 7 on mine too

Held a 592 tonight demo saw at a shop. Nice look feel and balance. I liked it

I asked I'll let you know. But obviously to get a compression reading you can't use the decomp. So that one was likely drop started. That saw I can see breaking something, but still they should be build to take some abuse. And I'm not saying they're not, could just be a few instances of this happening does not mean it will on most saws.

I’d agree with the starting and running compared to the 572. Mine does seem a little less smooth when running both as far as the auto tune goes. Always runs great though. I need to get the firmware updated and see if that makes a difference

When the 572 is hot, starting should be on fast idle, choke on and off, than start. otherwise the spark plug gets wet. have this on mine and it is written in the manual owners book, to do that.

When warm my 572 start in one pull in the run position. Now the 550 and 562 they needed to be on fast idle.

Yea it’s seems well balanced with a 28 “on it did a muffler mod seems to run little better on top end and cooler running.

Here counterwise. 572 when hot fast idle to start. 550 and 560 starts hot in normal run position.

Yes looks like a nice saw, seemed slimmer than the 395 at least visually.

I did call around to a few people I know they’re not having the start issues like I am it’s probably electronic that’s why it comes and goes but it’s a good run . it doesn’t do it all the time.

MK1 and 562 had to be in fast idle on hot restarts until I had the software update in 2018. Both saws after update hot restarts on idle, 1 to 2 pulls max. You could tell by the sound, the low rpm/idle received more fuel as it no longer had that whiney sound.

Yes I would agree take the 592 to your dealer for update/reset the fuel settings. Rare occasion where AT starts to callibrate wrong, they should all see that on the diagnostics.

Now if you want to try the field reset, fire up the 592 and let her idle for the 3 to 5 minutes so that AT re-callibrates its idle settings. Some don't want to idle that long, you can try cutting a small log every minute or so and see if it improves the hot restarts. I had to re-callibrate my idle settings on the 562 that did not want to hold idle after long storage.

Here counterwise. 572 when hot fast idle to start. 550 and 560 starts hot in normal run position.

If I did that neither saw would start, and after heat soaking in 85°f or grater temperatures, neither would start period. I'm told the newest versions no longer have this problem. The 550 MKll is a totally new saw, and the 562 has had so many revisions it's basically been redesigned as well.

550 MK1 here from 2015, 560 from 2013. Both never Updated.

That’s been an issue since the start of auto tune, drives me nuts why isn’t fast idle the default setting?

My 572 is the best behaving AT or Mtronic saw I've owned, one pull when warm the vast majority of the time, and if not she will fire in the second. The 550 and 562 are almost unusable above 85°f below that not too bad.

I really have no idea what Husqvarna is thinking with sosome of these things. I mean if you knew constant updates were going to be needed, make it easy to do at home, a simple app and USB connection. Designed by committee and a lot of cheap outsourced parts IMHO.

Sorry I'm not bashing Husqvarna, I have eight of their saws righ now, and many more throughout the years, but they need to right to ship.

I agree they had something that worked with the 572s then they go and change it and for most people it works not in my saw.
And I agree with you on the updates they should make it easier than have to go to a dealer.
