Chainsaw Repair

William, when I was demoing the 562 at my dealers. I had ask about the autotune diagnostic tool etc and they didnt have it.   

From what you have shown here. It seems it should be a  must for the dealers to have to set the autotune up correctly with updates etc before being sold.  Do you feel the same way on this?

kevin, i could not imagine selling or starting up one of these new generation saws with out the proper tools!!! the dealers that have no tool or woodpile ,  certainly will be at a dis-advantage to say the least!

It seems you are having a high rate of failure though.  It is a misconception that these new saws are set/ready to roll out of the box(not saying you fall into this category).  There has been many instances of the metering lever being way to low, causing the saw to accelerate poorly and start hard warm and hot.  Also the pop off pressure is for some reason very high.  I clipped one ring off my 562 and it starts well at any temp.

Why the 100 fuel?  Just curious.   My 562 handles the transition from 87 to 92 flawlessly but vice versa, it takes a tank to adjust.

the reason for 100LL AV fuel is because i see so much trouble with ethanol fuel that come into my saw shop, i'd like to start out with the best grade of ethanol free fuel that i can get ahold of. (it certainly has been working real nice in my stuff) the customer has choice on what he wants to run. i try and tell them to run premium grade gas and not the low grade. i'm expecting to be able to see the differences in gas ,  in the download data from each saw . because the customer is keeping me in tune with his gas (hopefully)

nice post you added to my thread. just the stuff i was lookin' for!!!!
keep it comming.

i consider my high failure rate as "luck of the draw"......i've not had to many failures over the years to get all shook up about. all though 20 out of 25 of the first 455's i got, was an eye opener!
