BAD DAY CUTTING FIREWOOD!!!

[@georgejaxxin4957]

Wow every thing is wrong on this

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Is that so

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Care to elaborate or you just going to pipe off about something you know nothing about? Just curious is all hehe

[@wesleymonske8103]

Not lifters... low oil pressure . It goes away when you speed.up.

[@WillSmith-gv1ok]

Let that saw idle for one full minute to reset the low jet auto tune. Every time I cut in higher elevation or lower elevation .i let saw reset its self by idleing for one minute when you start it up. I love my 572xp 562xp and 592xp all auto tune.

[@remgreene7488]

Or get a carb saw and tune it yourself and learn your saws

[@ToddAdams1234]

On the “Hulk” you can try this: get it on a downhill slope and then run it in a “compression braking” instance. If that ticking is still happening then it inside of the engine but if it goes away then it’s an exhaust leak. If that ticking is still there then use a long piece of metal while holding it up close to your ear (similar to how a Dr stethoscope works) while the piece of metal (I use a long extension) is moved around from place to place around the engine AND on both sides (banks) to help determine where the sound is coming from. If it’s coming from the valve train an IF that Ford has truly adjustable rocker arms (NOT pedestal style) then you can attempt to adjust the rockers and see if it goes away. I’ve cured many valve train noises like you that. It’s just a thought.

[@uncledanny7]

I really like my auto tunes I have a 562 and a 572. They can be a little finicky for sure about starting. I have found that even when hot when I go to start them pull it up on chock then before pulling it push it down to run and that sets the fast idle and they start much easier. My 62 really gets finicky if the air filter is the least bit dirty.

[@nhellman84]

Just throwing a guess out, the ticking might be an exhaust manifold leak. Shouldn’t be hard to check. Beautiful old cord man. Love the channel!

[@kevinmitchell3279]

Got a 562 that is hard to start when hot . Trick to mine is full throttle start

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yeah they ain’t like a good ol carb but they are smooth and fast

[@richardorgan2024]

well said bud same for me sadly i lost couple friends have to make oneself believe never going to see them again not here anyway ,one of them days i'm 59 been cutting firewood and logs since i was 18 sometimes chainsaws pain no doubt 😆 your a harder worker you and kelsie think the world of you two really enjoy your channel all the best

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thank you my friend

[@nhellman84]

Do you have a video or can you do one on the cable you use and how to rig it? I use a chain when pulling my logs out, but sometimes it’s too short. I’m interested in using cable just don’t know much about it. Thanks

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yeah when I find a tree that really needs to be rigged up I will try to do it. I mainly just use cable because it’s lighter than chain I mean I use both but I can have a longer cable then chain… I use anywhere from 1/4” to 5/8” cable nothing bigger but 3/8” straw line is my favorite

[@jakemesa3211]

Beings that’s a high boy. I’m betting it’s got a fe 360/390 in it. If so that noise is one of two things. Either a exhaust leak which they were very prone to having. And it can sound very metallic. Or it’s got a bent push rod. Which is another thing they are prone to doing especially if it seen some high rpm lately. Can you hear it at idle or just under load?

[@G.A.gigger]

funny i have a 572 and never have an issue...smoothest saw i have ever run...did you try autotuning it? i keep my 372 xp for a spare now. Nice looking wood .

[@307j.o.a.t9]

That sucks about the ankle. Ive done that a few times. Love the ol green truck!! Those wedge banger axes are definently too short for splitting unless its kindling. Hate when days just keep goin like that. STAY SAFE!!!

Yeah it was a rough one and I kept hearing Gil say to take care of your self all that day! He was on my mind all dam day and I was going to call him that evening but he was on his fishing trip and I figured I would call when they got home

So far so good with my 562xp Auto tune. 🤞. She’s a ripper. Those were some beautiful wagon wheels per usual sir.

I love how it cuts and smooth it is just had that idle problem

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thank you for your support G we appreciate you

[@White000Crow]

Mine just starting idling really high, about 1/4 throttle equivalent.

[@White000Crow]

Be careful with those auto tunes if they go lean on you they will burn up.

[@optimoprimo132]

Late to the party but the 572 might have needed the low adjusted and then the idle readjusted after that. I had an Echo chainsaw that was doing the exact same thing. It was like dejavu watching your struggle. I cleaned the spark plug and readjusted the low and the idle and it corrected the issue.

[@wesleymonske8103]

Do both !

[@kevinmason3086]

I'm a Stihl guy but it sounds like carburetor issues your seals could be dry and need replaced or it could be your screen might be dirty. I had one do that but my screen and seals were ok so I replaced the carburetor and ran fine after that.

[@902hand7]

Yeah I wanna say that I watched a Donny Walker vid a while back on the 572 where the fuel line gets out of it's keeper/holder/bracket deal-e-o (yes, technical term there right out of the Husqy IPL 😉 ) and gets kinked up - you might want to tell the dealer to check their demo saw....

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

I saw that video too. That could very well be the problem.

[@902hand7]

@@paulmcreynolds1774 yeah I think so too where it seems to be starving for fuel and having to choke it to get it running again??

[@bobbunton2314]

Just wanted to ask you a question, I have a husqvarna 562xp I got at a local pawn shop but when I cut trees up high in Montana after about a half a log and try to restart it, it will not start? Why? Thanks.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

When you change elevations you have to let the auto tune carbs reseat them selves

[@bobbunton2314]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie thanks but do I need to change anything on the saw since I did replace the spark plug and air filter? Thanks

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

@@bobbunton2314 no you shouldn’t maybe the sprocket if it’s looking bad… but look on line to reset the carb… I believe the low jet you are supposed to let it idle for a minute or two and then the high jet you hold the throttle wide open and stick the tip of the bar in a log about 2-3” and do a rip cut about 10’ long but don’t quote me on that

Me personally would take your 572 to a repair technician to find out wrf? Glad your ankle is OK, be careful.

That 572 may need to be re calibrated my 572 idles great the very first 562 i had not the ones i got now would do that some times especiall in the cut banging wedges

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yeah I’m not impressed with saws that won’t stay running in the cut it can be dangerous having a saw that shuts off and won’t start

[@tedneitzel]

What firewood permits do you have that allow to cut standing dead trees or do you just do free for all?? Every permit I get says no cutting standing dead???

Sorry to keep bothering you bro but what size is the chainsaw that you just got done bucking the wood with

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

First video of yours great job, also the channel "in the wood yard" just had a video with a log puller cone thing so logs dont get hung up. Might help?

[@joshuasweet1532]

I think 372 sounds lean...and I love yur country out there

[@MrCoopersdad]

how much money do you get for a load of wood?

[@peterkunka2694]

Damn. Sorry to hear about your buddy passing. Please accept my condolences.... I'm familiar with loss in my life and understand. Noise sounds like exhaust leak (hopefully, that'd be the easiest to repair). I'm a rookie, I cut firewood for camping with a battery powered chainsaw. No problem cutting some small logs for nightly fires, it's the axe splitting part that gets me... How do I become more efficient? I'm 6'4" and a relatively fit 56 year old 225lbs that can swing an axe. I guess it comes down to handle length and weight to dial things in? And, (I can probably go back and look...) but how do you sharpen and maintain the cutting edge of your axe? Summer is rapidly approaching here in Arizona, and I can't wait to go firewood collecting with my F-150 so we can also have backyard fires next winter while at home in Phoenix when the desert cools down. Cool channel and I wish you well. Peace. Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Peter thank you for the kind comment! I appreciate from the bottom of my heart! He was a great friend who left all too soon! There is a noise that kind of sounds like lifters too but not too sure I am no gear head… it don’t matter if you have a pruning saw just as long as you are happy doing what you want and love! Keep it up! I am 6’1” and I really like an axe with a 36” handle! But if I have a shorter axe I do like to use a chopping block if I can! Just keep swinging that axe and keep good form! Square up to the block lift the axe directly above your head and rip it down with your torso! Idk what you do for splitting but I see alot of folks being SO EXTRA doing the windmill which in my honest opinion is wasted energy and not as accurate! We wish you good health and happiness my friend and great appreciate your support!

[@peterkunka2694]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie Thank you for the good info about axe handle length and chopping form. I'm going up to the forest tomorrow (Saturday, May 6th) and will see how much cutting I can do to bring home something for next winter. Take care, my friend! Pete

The computer on that 572 is not adjusting right. Acts like the low jet is way beyond the fubar limit. The process for setting the jets is rather bazaar. . They also self adjust, for octane. So if you swapped fuels it takes some time to adjust.
