So Yesterday A Buddy of mine asked me to help cut up Some Hardwood for his stove, He got about a Picker load. SO I loaded up the 562 XP, the 450 and Rancher 55. I get up there and he has a Reg 55 and a 460 Rancher, We BS for a bit and he goes on to tell me how the Cord would not retract first thing this morning on his 460 so he took it to dealer and they fixed it,he gets back tries to start it same thing. Goes back to dealer and they put whole new assembly on it, new flywheel and all.

SO There are a couple guy's there and they all really want to try out the 562 well I go to start it and after the second pull the cord would not retract and it felt odd when I pulled it. I take the cover off, the Cover broke along with the pulley and it also cut grooves in the fly wheel. Have the parts all on order and had to use other saws the rest of the day, Really wanted to give the 562 a workout.

I left with my buddy at his shop and he is getting the parts for me, Is there any Service Bulletins I should have him address on the saw? It is one of the earlier models.

If there is anything of note I'd imagine a dealer could find it. I'd also imagine if its out of warranty its just going to be an expense you won't be getting any help with.  :-\

Good thing you had more another saw. I had to replace the whole thing on my 372. First one in years.

I see your 562xp is ported, and with a pop-up, and assume it has rather high compression? ???

That's sort of what I was thinking also. Additional strain.

Yup - but I understand that the starter covers were reinforced around mid 2012?

Btw, increased compression actually gets counterproductive at some point - but who knows at which point it actually happens?  ???

I do Like this saw, Things happen as long as it is not a common issue I am fine with it. SO there was a Service Bulletin on this issue? I try and use the Decomp when I started it, I know I had engaged it but after this happen I did check and it was dis engaged.

Hey there Joe,

I to have had one let go on one of my two 562XP's that I have here over in New Zealand. Took it back to the dealer, and they just replaced the whole starter. Both saws are 2011 Models, with one of them having done more work then the other. The one that broke, was the one that has done the least amount of work.

So there might be an issue with them? Has anyone else had any problems with there ones? Or heard of this happening to someone else?

Yup done that. The case broke about a month after purchase, called the dealer right there from the landing to .... ahem...  :snowball: voice my problem/issue.  Had all new assembly installed, tested and returned two days later.

Dealer told me he had heard there could be a problem with the case. 

Dealer relations that's where its at....

There is, but we wont post them in the open anymore.
1 idiot ruined it for all. Copy pasting SB on AS  and going look at me and what I got.  So we keep them hidden. That way other dealers dont get bent out of shape with all the AS BS from posting such info that others cant handle maturely.

JOE.G

What does Posting a SB have to do with anything? Did I miss something on AS ?

Your dealer has them, just ask him to share or show you.  ;)   

JOE.G

He will we are friends, I just don't understand what the issue is with posting them in the open.

They are for dealers. Some dealers get bent out of shape when the info gets out and posted. Immature types on AS cant handle being told their saws has updates when SB are released showing problem areas, after they bought them and want the work done for free. See where this is going .............................
My site there was no problem everyone used the info as adults till one idiot like I said copied them and then posted them on AS. So no more open SB of new stuff.  ;)

JOE.G

That is just dumb, why can't people all act like adults, ruin it for everyone.

If there is a SB out on it, it's a poor design  and should be taken care of by the Manufacture, for free.

and that thinking there is why they are no longer posted. 
If you have a problem they will fix your saw with updated parts.  Not just you come in and say I want  updated crankcase bolts etc.  :D

On saws if you look back there is SB after SB of updates, not just new saws.
