    Service & Maintenance Question posted January 23, 2017 by reuven spero in Husqvarna: Ask & Answer > Chainsaws public
    Question:
    got a problem with my husky 350, that's been working like a dream til just now. changed the chain, tightened it up to short of where i wanted, finger tightened the nuts on the cover, adjusted chain tension, lifted the nose of the bar, tightened the nuts firm. all good, right? chain tension right what i wanted. chain will not move. check that brake is off. chain won't move. loosen nuts, chain will move but i am not about to operate a chain saw with loose nuts (ahem). take the bar and chain off. sprocket seems tight, but i can turn it and it loosens up to what it should be. reassemble. chain doesn't move.

    any ideas?

    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:
    Got an older Husky 350 that's been running well. Suddenly, in a job, the engine sounds fine but the chain is not turning. a funny, loose metallic sound in the body. opening up, and the "cup" that the clutch sits in spins around freely - I know it didn't used to be like that! Is this a worn out clutch issue? How do I progress with a repair - I don't mind doing it myself.
