I have a husky 562 that's been very good to me until recently. Lately, after cutting hard and need to refill the tank it just wont fire up on the second tank. It sputters and runs for 5-10 seconds and dies. If i let it sit for 30-45 minutes (or overnight) it fires right up again. I've been running it hard all spring on dead ash and beech , so the gas is constantly changed- so i doubt its bad gas. The air filters been changed, and its cleaned after every use. I noticed that the fuel primer seems to not suck fuel when its hot...Any ideas- a lot of you guys seem to know the ins and outs of these saws so im just hoping its something minor...i could bring it in for service but they are so backed up here that's its gone for a few weeks at best. Any help is appreciated cause I'm ready to hit this thing with a lump hammer
It’s a known issue that they vapor lock. Try catching it before it runs out of fuel, let it idle 30 seconds before switching off, refill, and try restarting. That seems to work for most
