That 562xp really comes alive with some mods to the muffler. For the power increase/fuel economy (you can cut a heckuva lot of wood on a tank of fuel ) and longevity imho it’s truly the “Dark Horse” of the 60cc class.
The older version 562xp has a choked up muffler vs the mark ii versions more free flowing can - if I were a betting man I’d wager the old school wins in a head cut with both saws equally Muffler modded 😉 …
@@fabzacres-blackcat I feel like they'd be pretty close. We've ported and sold around 14-16 Mark 2 versions now and the customers that got them sold their original 552 after they ran their new ones.
@@jamiedalluge9472 I have 2 562xps that I piped and did some minor flow enhancements to and boy do they cut well! … Nice blend of power , fuel economy and longevity. I expect the 562xp mark ii would behave in a similar fashion - I’m not an “out with the old , in with the new” type of guy so I’ll just be keeping what I have - if I need a little more power I’ll simply use a bigger saw that I built myself. I looked for a video of these ported 562xp mark ii you’re referring too but your channel has no content 🧐
