    General Product Question posted May 30, 2011 by George Thompson 
    Question:
    I just bought a Husqvarna 240 chain saw, but can't get it started. I followed the starting instructions carefully, filled it with 50/1 gas/oil mix, filled the chain oil reservoir, pulled the choke all the way out, checked that the stop button was raised, pushed the gas bulb 6 times, then pulled the cord 20 or 30 times without getting any sign of starting. I pushed the gas bulb several more times,then pulled the cord another 20 or 30 times. I tried it with the choke pushed in, just in case. I waited till the next day in case I had flooded it or something, then repeated the procedure with no results. (actually have tried it for 4 days in a row now with no results, not a sign of firing). I get no fuel smell, so I suspect it's not getting fuel for some reason. I pulled the spark plug and checked and it seems like it's getting a good spark. Could it be a problem with the carburetor or am I doing something wrong?

    Question:
    I just purchased a new 450 e-series chain saw. I have not used it yet, but have started it up. So far, it runs well. What I would like to know is would this saw be able to use a 0.350 chain with a 20" bar?

    Question:
    I have purchases a Husqvarna 235E 14 in. chainsaw. I will be using it to cut wood at an altitude of 6000 feet. How can I adjust the carburator to perform at maximum capacity at this altitude? Is there a tool that can be used for adjustments?
