As a friendly reminder, when conducting a tuning cut, you only need 4-6 feet of wood. Remember the 2 major requirements. 1. Wide open throttle. 2. Keep the saw moving in the cut.
If the saw pauses in the cut and loses load, it will come out of tuning mode, and you may have to start over.
Other than out of the box, new, this cut may be helpful if the saw sits for long periods between uses, major temperature/humidity changes, or distinct changes in elevation. Top handle saws can benefit even more from this technique as they are constantly cutting smaller diameter wood and have less opportunity for tuning.
This is a great demonstration on making a tuning cut.
Thanks, Tim. & David
Thanks Tim! You and David gave a great explanation.
Thanks Aaron for watching!!!
Great information. Some dealers doesn't know that. Interesting stuff 🤔!
That is true…. Pass it along!
Great video I have a couple those saws I look forward to seeing some more of your videos
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing. This is valuable info.
Thanks for watching…
i have 5 stihl saws i just jumped ship from them weirdos at stihl and got a 550xp-g feb 2023 this video helped me as i got no book. thank you
You can download a pdf owners manual on the Husqvarna website.
Thanks Tim you make things look so easy and interesting I was wondering if the pole saws would need the high-octane gas an the same an Breakin time again it was a very good video Thank you David It was a very good explanation
High octane is always suggested Bill. 89 octane or higher without ethanol if possible. Thanks for the comment.
It feels like Husqvarna is not training their dealers to share this with new saw owners. I own 550, 562, and 572 xp saws all with auto tune. Ironically, had the same experience, the 562 has been a terrible running saw from the get-go. Was never told by two separate dealers about this process. Almost sold them all and switched to Stihl till i saw your video.
I’m glad it helped. Thanks for commenting. Good Sawing to you!
Husqvarna hasn't been consistent with their instructions either. Some owner's manuals don't even include the field reset instructions.
I have 550 xp and 562 xp Both have less than 20 running hours on them .. they both seemed to not run properly. Brought to my local husky dealer and he said they both have air leaks .. husky never did anything even though they have warranty . My local husky dealer just dropped husky products and I am stuck with 2 practically brand new saws that won’t run properly.. I’m not sure if it is air leak but possible carb issues.. you got any ideas ?!? I’m thinking about sending to another saw shop .. what should I do …. ???!!
@capecodarbortech You need to locate a dealer that can troubleshoot your saws.
love it , I just started my own channel . Husqvarna TILL I DIE!!!
Have to look it up
Good job guys
Thanks Donny…!
👍🆙DW
Thank you so much, I just got the 562xp markii and my saw did same thing as yours and would not idle without babysitting and would stall when burping the throttle and when running if turned in different angles just like in the video and I was about to throw it into the river... dealer never mentioned anything about calibration on first run and even when called about it all they said was never let the saw idle long periods otherwise it would mess the carb up and need to be brought in for it to be flashed at my cost.... still kinda with they offer pro saws without the auto-tune though lol.
So glad the video helped ….. Good Sawing!
Good info, thanks! Would have been great to not have the music when doing the high speed tune, so we could hear the engine performance changing.
Thanks for Commenting. Good Sawing to you!
I hated Autotune without ever trying it, I had to buy 1 when I bought my 550 xp mark ii, it made me LOVE Autotune, I’m not much for change, but Autotune is a great change
I like it on my MS362c
im really going to miss the carb work and tuning. Thats just part of the love affair and why iv never had an efi anything. Carbs and tuning are part of the fun. The shop tweaking and tuning and chatting, the dinner table stories, the woods, the whole experience.
Now I want to trade in my auto tuning saws…. The experience can’t leave.
@@ForestApps I dont think id trade my new one in for another old one neccesarily, but i might hang onto the old ones...its just that im sentimental on certain things. I got my first xpg two days ago...maybe ill never set another high speed jet idk yet...i still like to play with steam and old gas engines. I like the old trucks and tractors. I love a 2 stroke and everythings going to 4. I mostly prefer an engine over batteries on certain things...ice augers, saws etc.
I love cast iron vs teflon or stainless i suppose... the food just seems to taste better and theres good memories. I still burn some wood for heat.. its maybe an old flame kind of love affair with a good wood stove design and the comfort of not needing the grid somehow. I prefer wool over synthetics. Leather or glass over plastic for holsters and boots and drinking vessels. Knowing how to clean and tune a carb has put cash in the pocket and brought alot of friends around. Sometimes the good ol days were good for a reason. Im not against new...im mostly reflecting.
I bought a 572 this week...will see how it goes, havnt had a chance to get out there yet
This is highly valuable content. Thank you very much. I've paid for but am waiting for the delivery of a brand new 550XP MkII, and to say I'm excited about it would be an understatement. Over the years I have learned to embrace the speed and efficiency of self-tuning engines. That this is done in these saws using a carburetor! and it's necessary interface is astonishing.
Thanks for commenting. Good Sawing!
You will like it. I have almost a dozen saws and the 550XP is my go-to saw.
if your chain moves at idle at cold start is there an adjustment for that? youd think at 33 times a second it could compute! great vid tim thanks
The idle time of the calibration process should adjust the idle speed.
I have a n.o.s. 2014 jonsered 2260, with maybe 5 to 6 tanks of fuel thru her, I run amsoil Sabre at 40:1 in all my saws, is the procedure the same for the older version autotunes mk1 and the newer mk2 versions, mine did not idle well out of the box as well, also in hotter temps it was an absolute bear to start, it seemed like it was vapor locking, or if it ran out of fuel, hot starts are very tough to say the least!!
Not sure.
At what time in the video do you start juggling?
Great video. I currently have a new 592xp and I'm really curious as to whether autotune has a break in setting that runs the saw slightly rich for the first so many hrs or tanks of fuel before readjusting to the optimal setting? Currently have new 562 and 550 mk2 aswell. I do notice the 592 seems a bit rich at idle and at speed when new, currently on my 7th or 8th tank of fuel in it. Thiscwould make sense, as when you purchase new carbed saw, they send them out rich and you are supposed to readjust after 10 tanks to optimal setting. I wonder if someone could ask Husqvarna?
Thanks,
Dan
The Auto Tune makes sure the mixture is correct and no overspending. It would be to the rich side if any.
It’s not necessary to run richer or slower speeds as long as the bar and chain is loaded in the wood.
What does your owner manual on the 592xp recommend?
husqvarna premix is $40 a gallon!!!!! and worse yet the husqvarna gallon can is not a full gallon! 110 oz a gallon is 128 oz you have to have deep pockets to spend $40 a gallon on fuel. maybe i can hire a guy to run my chainsaw also! i run the oil i used in my dirtbikes since the mid 90s. ELF moto2 xt or any quality full synthetic oil. great vid tim i got no book with my 550xp-g i got feb 2023 thank you
As long as gas is fresh and try to limit no
More than 10% ethanol they say. Just don’t let it sit around a long time. High quality two cycle oil mixed to
Specs.
So, if I let my saw sit for 5 minutes with the chain brake engaged, that will not cause any damage? Considering the saw is not idiling high enough to engage the clutch.
As long as the idle rpm is below clutch engagement, the brake can be engaged at anytime with no damage caused. Good Sawing !
But agree
I should add. NO ONE suggested we do whats in this vid. Will that work for existing Xp's that have been used?
Maybe will work
Interesting video, but it's hard to hear the saw self tuning over the matt's offroad recovery music
Sorry about that…
I agree just didnt work on mk 1 540. Is all
Well I work at a Husqvarna dealer and the canned fuel is canned fuel not gasoline, it is 85% naptha. We checked the sheets on the canned fuel and still haven't found how they get octane from naptha?
Octane is fuel burn under pressure checked with special testing tools. No matter what the liquid fuel is it could be tested for octane rating.
Love husky got 2 572s. But the 400. Yer sorry its been good.
Sorry they are 357. Great saw. I rekon.
Is it the same procedure on Mark1 and Mark2?
Far as I know.
guy on left (3 100th of second is 33.3 right?) 33.3 samples per second. guy on right it samples 10 times a revolution rpm/60 = rps 13500/60 = 225rps. @ 10 times per rev. # of rev x sample rate 225 x 10 = 2250 samples per second. so is it 33 times a second or 2250 times a second??? i may have to get a stihl! just bustin b@lls great video. i have 5 stihl saws yet i bought a 550xp-g on feb 15 2023
dealer told me i dont have to set auto tune. QUESTION ? will it get snappier ? dont get me wrong its cuts fine but the throttle response is nothing like my ms400 thanks for the great videos tim. now i will check if you do tractor talk? im new to tractors and husqvarna saws. barney canadarago lake ny
550xp takes a little break in time.
I bought a 550Xp 8 years ago.
Worked great till it got hot.
Ive cut wood all my life. Brought it back and they said it was me. Finally they replaced the coil and carb.After I said I would trow it thru their window. I guess back then they were not considering the Mississippi heat in the summer. Works fine now. Just got a 572xp we will see...
Hope Things work better ..
Go checkout Oakie Woodsman, he bought a 562 and has had trouble with it since he brought it home. If I was his dealer I would have given him another new 562 right away and not have sent him home with a troubled saw. He bought several new saws basically at the same time and his ECHO 620 is his go 2 60cc saw because the 562 won't run correctly.
I saw that video. I think it may have been something other than calibration. I don’t know the whole story either but he needs to contact Husqvarna for a follow up on the issue. Chainsaws don’t make chainsaws people do. Echo’s have problems sometimes too. If you understand there is a problem someone can fix it.
@@ForestApps he's been in contact with the dealer and they will fix the issue I'm sure, but with them knowing of OW of having a TH-cam channel, I would have not let my product (Husqvarna 562) leave my shop again and go up against his ECHO 620 on TH-cam. That's just me (IMO) makes the 562 look bad even though it's only one saw. My diagnosis from the couch is that it's the ignition coil or spark related.
@@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws I think you’re right on all accounts. I told him I thought the ignition module was the culprit and after thinking it could be the spark plug breaking down at a certain temperature. Hopefully they fix it for him.
I believe his saw has been fixed
@@karlrovey 👍🆙KR
Biggest thing was when took back to dealer. They played with it. Never ran. Right. But every husky since has.
Sorry 357xp. Great saw
the middle saw did high speed rip for 82 seconds. how important is the full 90 seconds?
It doesn’t always take that long. You will hear it smooth out. Most of the time the saw will calibrate just with normal cutting. It really doesn’t need to be calibrated unless it’s not running high and idling ok.
You can see the five steps to carb adjustment on the TH-cam site or www.forestapps.com Tim’s Tips
Early adopter of AutoTune and an old Husqvarna fan, but never again.
I'll leave it at that.
There is a lot of good saws out there. What do you pick?
@@ForestApps makita 7900 these days.
Can't stand nylon caged bearings for the sake of commercialism.
The last good Husqy I revved was the 394. The music stopped when I got into the 5 series.
You mean the cages on the clutch drum bearings? They have been that way since the late 80’s. They seem to wear less than the metal cages in that application.
@@ForestApps no sir, I was talking about the crankshaft bearings.
The cages break apart, blow up the seal on the clutch side and just to make things better they use proprietary bearings sizes, wich means that after the damn things fail, wich they will in a hurry, you'll have no other choice but to replace them with another thing that will fail, because you can't just put a regular 6202 bearing there.
Let's just say that I'm cool with things breaking down, but what I'm not cool with is a company that will make a 500 bucks repair on a 700 bucks saw under waranty instead of giving me a brand new one.
It's been 6 years now since I'm done with that "bonanza" and I've never been happier.
I understand. You’re talking the ball bearing nylon separator. Yes with too much heat and carbon that can be an issue. The Dolmar Makita probably has the same separator cage. It just didn’t fail. But whatever. The good thing is you’ve got something that will handle your saw needs. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Can I use 100 l l av gas in my 572?
Yes mixed with oil properly.
Sometimes I wonder if these saw companies are making these saws more advanced than is necessary. I also wonder if they are making these saws too smart for it's own good. What I mean is, are these new more technological saws going to last as long as saws from the past have?????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷🏿♂️
Marketing… ? There are still some old Homelite XL12’s out there to be bought. That was technology at its best. The lightest and fastest innovation in chainsaws. Where will it take us in the next 30 years.
Yer got a stihl 400. Its just good n really doesnt miss 2 years now lot of work.
I think the simple answer to your question is YES, any saw that needs to go through a set up process like this is a fail, then to learn that it has a micro chip fitted is the final straw, my new 565 is going to the back of the barn while I look for a more sensible chainsaw, these things will not be around in 5 year, and to see that the dealers do not even know about the set up is crazy, no doubt the idea of some new graduate wanting to drag us into the 21 st century. I am off to buy a Stihl.
@@453421abcdefg12345They all require some sort of setup and initial tuning, whether they have this technology or not. The problem here is that Husqvarna didn't tell all the dealers the setup procedure and stopped including the field reset instructions in the owner's manual (because people were getting confused).
My apologies. I asked the question before the vid ended.
Ok
I would've much rather heard that auto-tune without the music.
The audio of the saw running was distorted and clipping. So I chose music for a couple minutes. sorry
Are you Husqvarna dealers?
There is no way the chip controlled carb is better than the adjustable carb. Not everyone has Tim to parade back and forth to a dealer for tuning.
Calibration only has to happen if it’s not running right. After the initial calibration just run it. It adjusts itself.
It tunes itself. You can also do a field reset (idle 3 minutes, followed by a long rip cut).
I had to agrue with an acme guy when i bought mine. Between them and Ace they like to take the saws to the back and fire them up throttle em uo then shut them off. They dont realize what they are doing. I told the guy at Acme, if you take that saw to the back ill take my business elsewhere. I dont sell promote or advertise, im just a guy that has done my research. They need to do a better job of telling dealers how to do this procedure.
I agree…
Sounds like a bunch of marketing crap. If a saw is constantly updating itself several times a second like they claim, you’d never have any need to idle one for 5 1/2 minutes and do a light rip cut in order to set itself. So which is it? Is it making constant adjustments? In which case you should just be able to give it the standard warm up and start making cuts. Or do you need to go through some stupid procedures every time the temperature changes? 🤦🏻♂️
Once it’s calibrated by the Dealer or Operator - one time- it’s handling the task automatically. But it can change with fuel, elevation, bar length changes etc. They don’t, and you don’t, have a lot of choice in the matter. They have to comply with 2Stroke EPA standards. That’s why the Battery Saws are being pushed. If you know the simple calibration process it’s not an issue but though and not a lot to deal with it’s pretty automatic. Stihl’s M Tronic is similar situation.
And.... If that doesn't work?
Husky really needs to simplify the auto tune system. The swedes managed to over-engineer the Germans!! Lol
A 45 second ripping cut is not always feasible, especially when in the brush, or when getting paid by the board-food.
I agree that the electronic carburator systems are fantastic... When they work.
Had a beast of a 562 that never had an issue (until the crank bearings completely let go at 12.1 hours).
However, I have a 550 that's a basket case. Will not run right. Extremely rich and blowing smoke.
Calibration would not work for more than a few cuts before it would bog and die in the cut.
On my 4th dealer trying to fix it. Overall I've payed to replace the carb, ignition/wiring harness, crank bearings, flywheel, & muffler.
Still pumping smoke and hates to idle before loading up and dying.
4.1 hours on it, and it's a two year old saw (thank goodness I still had my 346xp ne)
Not to be a pain... But have you ever looked into Stihl's m-tronic recalibration procedure? It's quite a bit simpler and is ACTUALLY explained in the owners manual.
Sorry you’ve had problems. I don’t have an answer at this point. I’ve had 3 562xp’s all have done well. I do have 2 MS362’s. One is m-tronic the other adjustable. Both have done well.
@@ForestApps
I don't blame the manufacturer. Lemons happen. Same as bad cops get through, bad shower heads..
It happens.
I've run other 550 and prefer the feel over the Stihl 261.
Mine just happened to be a pain. It happens.
I absolutely loved my 562xp. Husky sealed bearings are a disaster. I can't pay $800 to fix a two year old $1,000 saw.
I'm only attached to my 550 because my father gave it to me for a Christmas present, so it has sentimental value.
I could digress on the blatant missteps of Husqvarna in these 500 series of saws. But I'm sure you know more than I do.
Phenomenal saws.... Until compared to.... Well, pretty much anything. Echo is outselling them. 70% reduction in Husqvarna dealer support over 4 years, heavier saws, convoluted electronics, weak bearings,.. a 39mm stroke in a 70cc saw!!?? Same stroke as a 90cc 066 and 390... Why?
Didn't McCullough do that? Exactly how did that work out for them?
I really think Husqvarna is dying. Sales are atrocious, customer support is non-existent, class leading ingenuity is completely gone....
Breaks my heart.

hi
this 5 series of husq. or junk. look at the min. 13:19😆😆🤣🤣🤣 she not stay in idle.
i don't want to be rude but the component are expensiv , very hard to find and she not it's worth to repair.
n problem i see 550(mark II) 560 562 572 (new 592).... after 10-30h are dead.
i see husq 592 after 10h she diead.she not want to start.
this is not real chainsaw this is a real pain in the ass.
sorry for my english.
Mihai, thanks for commenting. The three saws in the video had never been run before. The point was that all saws need to be calibrated when new and if any change in run. Calibration may be the issue with your experiences. The saws in the video all ran well after calibration.
@@ForestApps tim thanks for responding to my message.
that calibration what you talk it is waste of your time. the carburator she do calibration automatically after 3-5sec.
and for you the husq. she not have this calibration in the manual, official.
she not need this calibration.
to calibrate this is one way by the computer.(Husqvarna Auto Tune diagnostic tool)
i see various video with this calibration and she do different calibration that mean it not a stadard like stihl 30s indle 30 to high or 90 idle depend of the model.
and what to understand the people who want to calibration and distroy the piston and cylinder.(who do this she do for own pocket husq. not respond for this.)
the husq original she not appears with official video and show us to do this bullshit.She not need this.
that mean it is a bullshit.
I’ve had three ms362’s and three Husqvarna 562’s. They have all worked fine for me. Sorry you are upset. You may have to stick to hand tools.
@mihaipietrosanu6370 This calibration is the "field reset." It used to be included in the owner's manual, but was removed because owners got confused as to when they needed to do this. The only thing the diagnostic tool does is wipe the computer data. Ideally, the field reset is only needed once, but if you have a drastic change in conditions such as altitude, it needs this field reset.
Why play silly music when you're tuning this? Can't tell how it's meant to sound.
Because the sound of the saw was clipping in the recording and it sounded worse than the music. Sorry.
@@ForestApps ok. I would rather hear the engines than elevator music though but fair enough.
@@ForestAppsDepending on the device, you might be able to have a backup audio recording (automatically records a backup at a lower level, great if you can only do 24 bit float) or use a lossless 32 bit float and drop the volume below clipping levels in editing.
