Husqvarna 562xp HTSS 2012 version "Hop Up" Mods & Top End Assembly Part 2 of 2 

Walt. your advice worked just fine. Will now do "hot start " problem mods you suggest on this 2013. 550XP Husqvarna.

Thanks for showing the 562 and some of there problems, on the 2012 models, great job, Bob

thank. you Walt for advice. will stay away from heat gun at base of cylinder/crankcase interface.

Really like your saw videos!! Thanks

I always wait overnight before I fire a new saw up to allow the 1284 to set up pretty good.

Fantastic videos... filled in all my mental gaps! When you started talking about going into an interlude on CAD ... I was so excited I thought I was going to make another pot of coffee and then you refrained and reeled it in for the masses! I'll was instantly wisked into the scene at the end of the Doors Movie where Jimmy's just talking and reciting lines into the 4 track....just unloading his mind on to tape. Id love to take the trip into CAD design....Sir! I'm self taught so your oratory education has been a beautiful chapter in my life's education, my friend! Well I might have a chance a two that were straight gassed!!! And I'm hoping and thinking that at a buck per I'd be getting a deal? They are tight little packages for these meat macerator hands of mine??? I figure since you made the jig and all ...and I don't want that going to waste... I'll just give you a twenty spot on each to handle all that removal of the cylinder base and whatnot....! LMFFAO!!! I guess me and the foredom are going to get it the best we can! It's a shame I can't just cast a piston to do that compression bump!!!! LOL 😂 ! I was thinking about tig welding up the domes then sanding and shaping the piston tops but then you're getting into the improper cooling and balance issues? I'm hoping I can just sand out the transfer on the old jugs (both were straight gassed and I haven't got to see the plugs or jugs yet) and get them to running !!! I don't ever leave home without my 1184 so that might be my air leak repair? I'm more getty then a teenager school girl to get my paws on these and see them and see what I can salvage ... I don't get newer power and equipment very often and these are of this modern era deal!!!I have a couple of new 20 inch bars that should dress them up nicely if I can get them chooching! They are sharp looking saws these days with the splash of gray/silver on the chain brake cover areas.... I wanna run one against that MS391 I was able to tweak a bit.??? Thanks for having the answers out here on the inter web for all us chainsaw question seekers... Cool hand Luke! Always grateful for your knowledge! I loved the line where you were like ... well I guess I could leave that like that.... na.... is know it was there and that would bug the crap out of me if I left it!.... just something silly... but if you're doing it !!! then you better do it right the first time a don't Ever leave the silly little sloppy stuff that comes back to bight you on the butt, everytime! My grandfather was an aviation mechanic back in the Spirit of St Louis days ... he built that plane actually... he was on the mural in the airport for a kind time...I think they've moved it now... walked off the farm in Indiana in the 8th grade because he was tired of waring hand me down clothes from his older brothers to school....and ended up in California building airplanes a couple years later. You do it right the first time! Got branded into me at a very early age... but so did think outside the box! That why I love your videos!

That was one of the things I learned about Husqvarna saws building the 372. There is a proper sequence to assemble the saw. You must do it their way and not throw the saw, together, out of sequence. I am able to throw a Stihl saw together in just about any sequence I desire, but not a Husqvarna. I do it right, I do it twice, sometimes thrice or more. I cannot tell you how many times on the 372 that I had to take parts off, just to get other parts on.

Any cylinder or piston that I do any work on gets a bath in my ultra sonic cleaner which just has a shot of Dawn in the water. I do the piston and cylinder separately and then rinse them off with hot water and blow them dry with compressed air. I also wipe them out with a clean shop towel to make sure there is no residue left in the cylinder or piston.

Nice follow-up! Looking forward to the 'tester's' opinion.

nice sound in Saw wish mine sounded like that

Good work,will be interested to see how it runs for you. Fully agree on the 32-1 ratio, it can't but help the bearings etc live longer and also help with heat transfer.

I would be interested in rebuilding a blown up 562 if Incould get one at a reasonable price.

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Nice I love it!

You mention a great deal of difficulty getting the cylinder off using 1184 on gasket. Cannot get my cylinder up. Suggestions.. ? will heat gun destroy the transfers rubber gaskets?

I have a second Gen 562xp and I'm experiencing vape lock, hot starting issues. Any advice would be appreciated. Love your channel! Thank you

Johnson's Motors in Marathon, NY...is that Bob Johnson? The guy that's like in his early 80's that bought out the McCulloch chainsaw distributors?! He's a McCulloch chainsaw guru.

nice job it runs !!!!

Any updates on this saw since its been 2 years since the build? Thanks Nick
