I have a 570 that I have mentioned in other posts, that has given me nothing but problems since buying it about 15 months ago. Initally, it would flood while parked in the shop, pick-up or on the skidder. When I say flood, it would empty the gas tank into the cylinder. The last time it emptied through the carb. After carb kits, needles and vents the mechanic finally put on a new carb. I should say that they are doing all of this on warranty. The other ongoing problem is with coils. Dealer has put in 3, the current one last week. I got the saw Friday evening, used it on Saturday, took yesterday off and felled about 8 trees with it today and it quit while idling, no spark. I live about a hundred miles from the dealer so I won't get it in there until next week. Dealer's mechanic doesn't know why it goes through coils but he says they are junk when he checks them out. I suggested the flywheel but they checked it out and say it is ok. I'm going to get a 372, they have one on the rack, but I would like to know what is going on with this 570. I kind of like it for a medium saw, when it runs. Any ideas?
