Have a Husqvarna 562 xp with an apparent fuel delivery issue.
Haven’t done much cutting the last two years...most of my wood is getting delivered in bucked rounds (pretty sweet deal). But even so, my 562 has been running flawlessly. Started it up for the first time since summer yesterday and it would not start. I did my usual procedure - a couple pumps of the purge bulb, flip the choke up, two pulls, fire, flip the choke down, 2 pulls and run. Except it did not run.
I then noticed a hole in the purge bulb...and noticed that it was not filling with fuel when purging.
I replaced that today.
It would not fill with fuel unless laying on its side. Upright it would not fill.
On its side it runs, upright it fires after purging, runs for 10 seconds and dies.
1. Is the bulb supposed to fill with fuel when purging? I have never paid attention until there is now a problem....I don’t remember what is right. I feel like it usually fills.
2. I assume the problem is somewhere in the tank...like...if it is on its side the line in the tank is under fuel so it isn’t sucking air...but then when it is upright it is sucking air...not really sure.
Inspecting the lines that are visible when I remove the air filter revel no cracks or obvious issues...
With the 562 - what is going on inside the tanks? From the parts diagrams, it appears there is a tank vent...what is the replacement procedure? How much line is attached? How does a person fish it out?
Thanks
