I have a husqvarna 450 x torque e-series chainsaw, that is overheating, to the point that the bar is turning blue and the clutch is burning up. One of the symptoms is that it bogs down under pressure, to the point of stopping. No I am not using it at this time, I quit when I noticed how hot it was.
I know someone is going to say it is not getting enough bar chain oil, but it is!, the brake is not partially closed and the unit is clean, I am sure to clean it after I use it. I am not new at this, but I'm not arrogant enough to say that I am an expert, we use about five cords of wood a year for heating, and cut and split this wood ourselves, have been doing this for over 10 years. I'm thinking that something may be wrong with the clutch, anybody have any ideas?
