    Here's what happened at the dealer today. He started the saw right up. Auto tune has nothing to do with it. It was me not understanding the switch. So yesterday I basically spent 7 hours trying to start a flooded saw. What the Husky engineers did is put the start/stop/choke in one switch...

    The dealer did start it up and it took a few pulls. But he's twice my size. When I got to the job site, it started with five pulls and chainbrake on. Rest of the day I couldn't get it started with the brake on. The sound on each pull was like you were trying to start it with the switch off...

    Was running a 24" bar, which is what came with it. Bought a 20" bar because I think that's what I'd use mostly, but haven't tried it out yet. Magnus, what do you mean, ready to go, just gas it up and run? That's what I was expecting! You must be "old school" like me.

    I'd still like to know about the 362, if the bar tip goes into the dirt when you set it down.

    Thanks, Reddog. I just called the dealer, and he is expecting me and the saw later today.

    Maybe a different manual? Page 29 in mine talks about kickback. So how do you "reset" the carb once it's set "wrong?"

    Tucker, the dealer kept saying it needed to get some use since it was a new saw. I was out on the job, with tools all spread out and some complicated rigging set up. I was frustrated that I would have to stop and drive 40 min to take a new saw that I just bought back in. But you're right, I...

    Pete, I read the manual the night before and didn't see anything about programming any auto tune. Altho that sounds like what it could be related to. The dealer was very nice and spent a lot of time with me going over the details of various saws. I don't remember him talking about programming...

    The new saw was horrible. Cutting was ok, once it started, but starting it wasted about two hours of my day. I called the dealer who said it might be flooded, and wait five-10 min. 30 min later it still wouldn't start. The only way I could even get it going was to have the chain brake off...

    I got the 562xp today, and will give it a go on this tree tomorrow. Rock wall is a bit of a concern.

    I'll go look at the Husky tomorrow. I couldn't find any recent reviews between the saws that were less than 2-3 years old.

    I'm in the market for a saw around the size of the 362, and wonder pros and cons of the Quickstop feature. Or other comments on the saw, in general.
