Just a positive followup on my Husqvarna 450 problem on starting. After torturing myself for a couple of years with a chainsaw that would not reliably start, I finally resolved this problem: I took the chainsaw to several service centers to no avail, and finally took it to one that sent the chainsaw back to Husqvarna. Even though the warranty period had ended, Husqvarna did some "work" on it and returned at no charge to the dealer. The dealer had no idea what they did nor did I. Happily, the chainsaw now starts easily usually within 3 pulls. I even left it with gas in the line over the winter inadvertently, but the chainsaw started right up in the Spring. Husqvarna probably knows what the problem is but maybe they don't want to tell the end-user?

Sadly, I have to agree with complaints about Husqvarna chainsaws. I have a Husqvarna 450 that has never started reliably. My mistake was not returning it and getting a different brand during warranty period. Even in the first year, I probably wasted as much time trying start it as using it. This is not an old gas problem but rather poor design. I wonder if a Stihl chainsaw would be more reliable? Service has accomplished nothing but incurring more costs.
