    Husqvarna 435 Chain Saw - Very difficult to start....Answeredescalated33100%
    Service & Maintenance Question posted October 31, 2011 by Mark E 
    Question:
    Husqvarna 435 Chain Saw - Very difficult to start.


    Hello,
    I have a Husqvarna 435 Chain Saw that I purchased from Lowes about a year ago and I have only used it a couple of times.

    The problem I have is it is extremely difficult to start. I had to use it yesterday to try and clean up some tree limbs after they got knocked down during a storm. After 30 minutes trying to start it and unable to, I gave up and went to the hand saw.

    This should start so easily but it does not. I believe I have the proper fuel mixture and I follow the instructions in the manual but still no luck.

    I read somewhere that someone mentioned needing to adjust the low idle scree 1/4 turn but I did not see any details on how to get to it. Sounds like you have to fabricate some special tool just to turn the screw.

    Does anyone have good advice on how to adjust this so it will start?

    Also, the pull rope seems to stick from time to time. Any idea's on that would be most appreciated as well.

    At this point I would be hard pressed to recommend any Husqvarna product but I guess I'll reserve final judgement until I get to the bottom of the issues.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Husqvarna 141 Chainsaw - No oil on Bar/ChainAnsweredescalated17
    Service & Maintenance Question posted March 15, 2012 by John 
    Question:
    Husqvarna 141 Chainsaw - No oil on Bar/Chain
    Details:

    I have a Husqvarna 141 Chainsaw and little to no oil makes it onto the bar/chain.  After using the saw for 20 minutes, the chain is bone dry and the bar is very hot.  Oil does come out of the bottom of the saw however. 

    The last few times I used the saw, I would just stop every 10 minutes and pour oil onto the bar/chain from the oil bottle.  This makes a mess and a lot of oil drips on the ground.

    I have taken the saw to a Husqvarna Authorized Service Center (Crockett Service Center in Dallas) twice over the past year for this specific problem.  I paid about $40.00 each time and they said they cleaned out the oil ***.  However, when I got home, the saw still does not put out oil onto the bar.  I have heard of other people who have this model chainsaw having the same, identical issue.

    It appears that the oil leaves the reservoir/pump, and then drips down behind the silver plate that the bar rests against.  This silver plate is seen in the photograph.

    What is causing this oil problem?  Is it a manufacturing defect with this model?  Can this be repaired or should I throw the chainsaw away?

     

    Thanks very much for any help on this issue.

    Question:
    I own a 455 Husqvarna. The saw boggs down as soon as you put pressure on the chain or just power up the saw. Do I need to adjust the high speed jet. If so, do I need a special tool ?

    Question:
    My brand new 440 chainsaw will not start
    Details:

    I followed all the instructions for the chainsaw & it will not start up.  It has gas & bar oil.  When I go to warm up the engine, the engine never sounds like it turns over.  It doesn't matter if I take the choke off after that, it will do the same thing. The air purge has liquid in it. Any Ideas?

    Question:
    I have a 2006 Husqvarna 350 with a fuel leak. I removed the tank and replaced the fuel lines. The leak is coming from the fuel vent. 1. How is this fixed?
    2. Does the long fuel line from the primer bulb line connect to the fuel vent? If not where does it connect to?

    Unable to find fuel line diagram on google. Thanks.

    Service & Maintenance Question posted January 29, 2014 by reuven spero 
    Question:
    Husqvarna T435 - having two problems right now:

    1. chain keeps loosening, like, really fast. I checked the parts manual - everything is there. cranking down hard on the nut - yes. chain is not new, but sharp. bar just seems to be moving in. how can i fix this?

    2. getting lots of blue smoke after operating for a few minutes, like there is oil leaking onto something hot inside. I don't think this is oil leakage in the pistons, b/c power seems to be ok. on the other hand, i think the smoke may be coming out of the muffler hole. how do i diagnose this?

    Question:
    I have a 235 that will not start. It has spark, compression, and new Husqvarna premixed fuel in the tank. A local, reputable small engine shop could not get it started either. He thinks it is an electrical issue. The saw has less than 15 hours of use on it. What do you suggest I do next?
