So how is it going with the saw Nixon?
No DON"T go PC save the MAC! Some of the Macs you can boot up in PC mode or emulate that...
Pressing the bulb will not flood the saw, It purges the air out of the system. Press the bulb a few times next time.Nixon, I think I had the same warm start issue on my 562
Saw wasnt hot but warm. Probably sat for 10 minutes while I cleared rounds from out from underfoot
Followed this procedure:
Warm engine
Start position (1): Set the start/stop switch in the choke
position by pulling the red control outward - upward. Then
immediately press down on the start/stop switch to attain
start throttle setting.
Decompression valve (2): Press the valve to reduce the
pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier. Once
the machine has started the valve will automatically return
to its original setting.
Air purge (3): Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly
until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm (about 6 times). The
diaphragm need not be completely filled.
I didnt do step 3 because there was fuel in the bulb. I didnt want to flood it. Should I have primed anyways?
Saw took probably a dozen pulls to start. I smelled raw fuel. I know I flooded it somehow?
What am I doing wrong? I watched lots of guys on youtube starting it in less than a single full pull of the starter... any ideas?
So whats the deal with the diagnostic tool for the new autotunes? Can you make any adjustments like max rpm? I know you can test the fuel solenoids, get runtimes and "reset" the computer so it will re-learn if you do any mods, but what else can it do, what data can you pull form the computer and is it necessary for routine maintenance?
Im really liking the 550, but not if a $250 diag tool is required for ongoing maintenance or minor mods.
