550xp

Just wanted to compare notes on this saw. Bought one on thursday and i have some issues diddnt know if anyone else had same problems. Ive ran 4 tanks thru it so far.

 

What are the issues? I bought a well used one and I like it very much

 

Someone else did. I think KY headhunter was his name? Forget it but it was something small I though.

Dex had one he is familiar with them.

 

My used one hasn't had any starting problems or the like.

 

It seems I've read something about pre 2013 models having carb issues?

 

Mike is the one you bought pre 2013?

 

Nope, I got me one of them new fangled flippy cap versions.

 

I thought you bought a toasted husky auto tune??

 

I did --with flippy caps

 

Didnt realize they went flippy. But now seems like I remember reading that?

 

It's not a stihl like flippy. It just makes it where you don't need a scrench to get it open.

 

What are your issues?

 

There so bad he doesnt want to even tell us

 

Doesnt want to start up after its warm. It seems to loose its prime. Also it bogs right after startup warm or cold.

 

Are you putting the choke on and then off to get it in high idle to start it? That's supposed to help. Mine is a bit cold natured. I never thought of that part as a problem. A lot of saws are like that. The Solo is the same way until it's warmed up all the way.

 

Yea I have a few cold natured saws

 

As others stated once its warm just engage the fast idle. I've done that with every Husqvarna I've owned.

Hope that helps

 

Don't mind at all. That's why I made it.

 

I usually start on high idle for all the saws i use. Maybe its just cold blooded. Any ideas on the bog issue?
