    Question:
    I have a lightly used Rancher 55 that I purchased new from Sears.

    It is impossibly hard to start (pull) for this 80 y/o.

    Is it possible to have this saw upgraded to a Rancher 455?

    Or is their some simple way to reduce the starting effort.

    FWIW - I'm in good shape and have used a Stihl saw for 30+ years.

    Thank you for contacting Husqvarna.

    You may simply need to have the carburetor adjusted to your specific area, that may be causing the hard starting. Contact your local dealer.

    You can find your local dealers using the link provided by typing in your zip code in the box on the upper right hand side of the screen.

    The type of issue you have will likely need to be looked at by a servicing dealer please use the link above to locate a Husqvarna service center.

    For warranty consideration you should present the unit and your original dated sales receipt to the servicing dealer as well as the problem must be of a warrantable nature (a defect in materials or workmanship), incorrect or old fuel, impact damage, incorrect storage are examples of non warranty. All warranty service must be completed by servicing dealer.

    Your local dealer is your best and fastest source of information
