    My 361 leaks some bar oil around the cap since new. I normally store it on it's side.

    I'm talking about through the oiler itself, not around a cap.

    I have 4 runner stihl and 2 husky runners in my personal possession and one for work...a brand new 555 and all leak not the caps though. The 555 will empty the tank in a week or so in my truck.

    If it was personally mine I would work out a deal with you. I like the saw but just don't love it's gremlins. I need to see if the warranty is up. It hard starts cold and doesn't like to idle well. And then there is the oil issue.

    chipper1 I like the look of the metal brakes but the new aftermarket ones I find all have the plastic one so that's what it will wear. Ronaldo it was restored by my friend that sold it to me. clemsonfor no it hasn't been fueled or oiled since he finished it a couple years ago. It has both in now but hasn't leaked. I need to buy a clutch cover and brake assembly for it so no brake yet.

    Yes on flippy caps.

    I love the saw. It cuts great and is strong for its size. I just hate to have to carry the saw a Rev it every so often to keep it running like a saw with a bad carb or tune, or let it die and have to restart it all the time.

    I like the look of the plastic ones, whuch I find odd because many times I like the older styles, but not the metal handled huskys.
    But beggars can't be choosers lol.

    I think I have an original cover with a metal brake left over from restoring my 181, it will need cleaned up and painted. PM me if you're interested.

    The 562xp is a great little saw. I'm amazed at the power. I run a 28" light weight bar. The saw in nicely balanced with that setup.

    Truth hurts! While I know plenty of Stihl's that are guilty of plugging the oil tank vent and spewing oil all over, Husky tends to use simple fuel/oil line penetrations at the tank bulkheads. This leaves them a bit more susceptible to wearing out the line and leaking at that interface.

    Moulded fuel lines with reinforcing ribs and built in grommets solve the issue quite well but then the cost of the fuel line is significantly more and you are less likely to have that specific part available on short notice. Trade-offs!

    That is the truth right there, I'm about as unbiased as they come when it comes to chainsaw brands. In fact in some cc classes there are Huskys that I prefer over Stihls. The truth is Huskys are notorious for puking bar oil. I have had a 346 for many years that will coat a shelf in bar oil unless I drain it, that's with a new oil line on it. My 357 and 365 are the exact same way. Doesn't make me hate Husky, it's just the truth.

    The 357/359 and the cousins in red are some of my favorites.
    Great video.
    One question, did you burn that batch of cookies :MM:.
