    You should replace your spark plugs. I’m pretty sure M2theB worked on one recently that chewed on a ground strap electrode chunk. Here’s Afleetcommand seeing the same failure in a 562.

    yep
    When I got it the complaint was it died in the cut and wouldn’t start. When about to check spark I found the plug loose.

    I did check my 562!

    Can’t say I have much experience with these saws, I have dealt with loose plugs in the ford 4.6/5.4. The thingy at the bottom of the plug was always hammered or missing. Some passed with little noticeable effect some looked like M2theB ’s pics.

    The video motivates me to try out the nylon filters in the 562. The felt ones don't clean all that well.

    I guess I said that wrong. Your right there is oil there if it were too lean plug would be whiter. But why itls it dry and flaky/powdery. Oil needs to be wet, there should be an "oily" residue left over. Carbon Powder doesn't lubricant.
