Service & Maintenance Question posted June 28, 2012 by Jesse PetersonQuestion:I have a new Husqvarna 240 chain saw. Used it three times and now when I go to start it it floods really really easily. Spark plug is soaking wet after only a few pulls. I read that its possible the membranes inside the carb are torn. Nope. I took the carburetor apart to check. When I put it all back together, I blew everything out with compressed air so it was "dry" of fuel. I pulled the string and it started right up but then shut off within a few seconds. It flooded. There's too much fuel inbound. Any ideas? What should I look for? What are the two screws on the side marked H and L that are on the carburetor?Details:Husqvarna 240 Chainsaw
- Question:I have a 445e chainsaw and the chain brake will not work right. It won't let me put the clutch cover back on and it keeps the chain from moving. Right now I cannot get the clutch cover to fit over the clutch like it should and it does not engage the chain brake mechanism. Will I have to take it to a dealer to get this fixed?
- Service & Maintenance Question posted January 24, 2012 by Scott TimmermanQuestion:Ok, I have a 455 Rancher that was bought new in October of 2011. It leaks a TON of bar oil while setting for any length of time. I had asked about it a few weeks ago and tried a few things based on the suggestions given. It still leaks badly. I even drained the tank to were there was about 1/4" or so of bar oil left in it. You could just see the top of the pickup. It leaked that oil out also.
So, I guess my next questions are, if it was a "normal" leak issue, where would the oil be leaking from? And what is the return policy on this thing if it is'nt fixed in a respectable amount of time? Because I have had it to a autherized repair shop twice, and have been told by them that "ALL CHAINSAWS LEAK LIKE THIS". I have owned other saws, they never leaked anywhere near as bad as this one. I would really like to have this issue resolved, either by having fixed, exchanged for another saw, or just get my purchase price back. - Service & Maintenance Question posted August 7, 2012 by mark purteeQuestion:I have a new husqvarna 445 chainsaw that I just purchased. I am having trouble with the chain seizing on the bar. I am using the correct chain bar oil and I grease the nose sprocket at every fill-up. I've been cutting green oak and it seems that chips build up in the chain groove and sprocket. I've tried looser and tighter chain tensions but doesn't seem to help. This will happen about every 3 ~4 minutes. I'm so frustrated. What's wrong?
- Service & Maintenance Question posted March 1, 2012 by GaryQuestion:I have a 7 year old Husqvarna 372XP chainsaw that won't start.Details:
I've tried the following: •Compression test = Passed (160) •Pressure (leak) test = Passed •New NGK spark plug installed (BPMR7A) •Carburetor rebuilt with new gaskets and diaphram - cleaned w/ carb cleaner and compressed air •Carb needle valve inspected and arm adjusted correctly •Cylinder and piston removed for inspection & cleaning = Passed •New base cylinder and muffler gasket installed. •New Husqvarna hoses (fuel and pulse lines) installed •New fuel filter installed •Pulse liine tube (brass) inspected and determined to be clear •Carb intake manifold inspected = Passed •Flywheel removed to inspect key alignment (timing) = Passed •Fuel tank removed to check vent - appears to be clean and functional •New Husqvarna fuel tank cap installed •Fresh mixed fuel (50:1) added to tank •Inspected ignition module contacts and flywheel contacts - Passed •Determined spark / fire at spark plug = Passed •Saw has had minimal use and looks clean and new (well maintained) I removed the spark plug and added a small amount fuel into the cylinder, attempted to start (no choke). After several pulls the saw popped just once and did not run for a short interval, as one would expect.
I don't have a spark tester and will get this checked by a repair shop, but I'm more concerned with fuel delivery, as I remain suspicious about this being my problem. When I tip the saw on its side (fuel cap up) and remove the fuel line from the carb (not pulse line) no fuel comes out. If I then crack the fuel cap, fuel is immediately delivered through the line. Is this normal? Do I have a tank venting issue and if so how do I correct that? If this is normal and I'm certain that my carb is assembled correctly and my pulse line is okay, what might the fuel delivery problem be? I tried spraying WD40 into the carb and starting, but nothing (one pop). I'm lost to what the problem may be, or what to do next. I haven't been able to use my saw for two months, because I just can't seem to solve this problem. I'm open to any advice or suggestions that someone may have. Thank you.
- Service & Maintenance Question posted January 20, 2014 by D PizzardiQuestion:RE CS 2238S Jonsered made by Husqvarna
Bought it new, ran 100% 1st 3 hours...
Starts well but starves of fuel after 1 or 2 minutes.
and won't restart, not even fire.
Loosening the fuel tank cap, allows starting well and runs for another 1 or 2 minutes again until starving for fuel
Its obviously staving for fuel, because fuel vent is not functioning.
As it's $150 just for an estimate to repair and it can be replaced for $225 I need to repair it myself. Or ship it back as an example of a product priced so low it doesn't actually remain functional for long.
I have it stripped down to the bare powerhead. but can't locate all the fuel system vent components.
Can you email a fuel system vent diagram please?
Viewing the parts list shows the components but not their location, detail or routing.
Should I replace 545-03501 vent line, 530-029868 Vent plug, 530-026119 checkvalve ...what is your suggestion?
