Thread: show us your chainsaws

Question for you guys out there.
I have a Husqvarna 562XP.
Good saw but I have an issue, it idles ok in the time it takes to position for next ring etc and you are still holding it.
But will not idle for long when you have to move a bit of stuff and place it on the ground.
No problem on big stuff giving it death and cut until you stop it or you run out off fuel.
Any suggestions/tricks to get it to idle for longer/better.
Thanks Owen

Try changing your fuel mix a LITTLE maybe try some higher octane stuff or if are using it try 91. It makes a huge difference in smaller motors.outboards lawnmower too.i found would start easier on 91 but better top end/Boogie with higher octane really noticed it in outboard.

Yep they are so open to ideas on how you get them "auto tuned".
Or do they pretty much auto tune for full noise.
Only an issue when on stuff that is just a bit too big for my smaller stihl.

I’ve had a 346XP for a few years and it’s served me well.

Air filter, exhaust gauze too. Check both of them and make sure there's no weird restrictions stopping it breathing.
