    Question:
    316el chainsaw stopped working suddenly and will not start again. No problem moving the chain brake back and forth. What are the most likely parts to check/replace?

    Service & Maintenance Question posted July 3, 2012 by Tom Eovaldi 
    Question:
    359 chainsaw beeping noise--I'm getting a series of three beeps after running the saw for a few minutes at full throttle. The beeping continues for almost a minute after stopping the engine. Nothing in manual about this. Anyone know what it is? Any danger to continue running it?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Service & Maintenance Question posted August 25, 2016 by tim hoffner 
    Question:
    359 throttle rod issue - it seems like the rectangular end that goes into the handle goes too far into the handle and passes the hole it goes through. when I put downward pressure on the blade and press the trigger, it gets hung up. is there a way to adjust the distance so that end sits mostly in the rectangular hole? I just replaced the operator presence lever and trigger assemblies, new bellows and still have the same problem. can post pics if this isn't clear. thanks in advance!

    Service & Maintenance Question posted May 4, 2015 by James Tibbetts 
    Question:
    395xp part # 503 57 97 01 is shown with a loop on the straight section that is above the spring. ALL replacement parts providers show a part with the loop below the straight section. Will the replacement part work? The diagram does not indicate that the spring is attached anywhere or it's location in the chain brake. Where and how does it fit?

    Thanks.

    440e would not restart after refueling with fresh fuel.Answeredescalated5
    Service & Maintenance Question posted December 15, 2011 by Matt Rose 
    Question:
    440e would not restart after refueling with fresh fuel.
    Details:
     My 440e ran fine for a tankful of gas then quit when it ran out of fuel. After I refilled it, it would not start. The spark plug produces a spark, but not even a stumble was produced. The spark plug is dry. I replaced the fuel filter, no change. the spark plug is still dry. I tried spraying carb cleaner in the cylinder and still not even a stumble. This saw is about 2 years old with tops 10 hours of use on it. What could be wrong? What do I check next?

    445 wont prime and leaks from fuel tank vent1
    Service & Maintenance Question posted May 28, 2017 by Richard Berrey 
    Question:
    445 wont prime and leaks from fuel tank vent
    Details:

    I have a 445 that Ive run for years.  THis spring Ive tried to start it and the Priming Bulb wont prime the Carb.  Ive pulled the bulb and it is functioning normally.  Ive also noticed that when I attempt to prime i have fuel start leaking out of the tank vent.  Im guessing these two things are related. I know there has to be something simple but I cant seem to find it.

    Thanks

    450 Rancher - Why is there so little information available...escalated
    Service & Maintenance Question posted January 11, 2013 by Rory (Georgia) 
    Question:
    450 Rancher - Why is there so little information available on this unit?.... There are three other "450 Rancher" questions still unanswered...they all say "escalated". Most all of the information on the website(s) and accessories available will include a 450 or a 455 Rancher, but no 450 Rancher. What Husqvarna Chain Saw Maintenance Kit should I get? What information and replacement parts would I need and use for my 450 Rancher? There isn't even a large picture of the unit on your website:
    /images/us/products/chainsaws/450-rancher/#features

    Accessories offered are only bars and chains.... Really? That's it. Did I purchase a Husqvarna stepchild?

    Service & Maintenance Question posted August 17, 2014 by Josh Sampson 
    Question:
    450 Rancher Farm Tough. Just bought it a couple days ago and just started it for the first time today. When I start it and turn the brake off, the idle increases and the chain moves faster and faster progressively until I kill it. I haven't cut a single thing with it yet because I may be taking it back to get something else because I need a properly functioning chainsaw tomorrow. A brand new chainsaw should not be dysfunctional. What's going on here?
