Does the husky 55 have a heat shield behind muffler? the reason i ask is the one i just bought from estate does not have one and when i was using it it was getting the plastic above the muffler hot enough to melt it.

no there is not a heat shield on  a 55 Husqvarna. and yes they do get hot. I would pull muffler and make sure muffler gasket is good and not cracked. also make sure exhaust deflecter is screwed on good otherwise it will melt the chain brake handle off. if u want to stop melting on top cover Husqvarna sells a heat resistant tin foil tape which helps with that
