    Warranty Question last edited May 10, 2012 by kevin bradner in Husqvarna: Ask & Answer > Chainsaws public
    Question:
    I have a husqvarna 235 I bought about 2 months ago and I absolutly hate it. It takes 10 minutes of hard cranking to get it to start, then when it is running, it will not idle. Under full throttle, it will bog down and die, turn it on its side to cut and it dies. I was really confused because I thought husqvarna was top of the line. I just either want my money back, the saw replaced with one that is made like a " poulan" ( even if I have to pay the difference ) or something, this 235 isnt the husqvarna that I know to be reliable and dependable. Please assist me on anything I can do, I have always been a loyal husqvarna customer, but after buying this, I am wondering if I still should be. Please advise.

    Question:
    Should I have bought a stihl ? So I just bought a husq 235 xtorq , I used it twice total of maybe an hour and it worked great . 2 weeks later , it takes all I have to get it to crank and when I finally get it to crank , it won't idle . So if I feather the throttle it will run but wide open it bogs down and shuts off , half throttle it will run until I try to start cutting and bogs down. Gas mixture in using is 50:1 husq 2 stroke oil . The saw first smoke at all. Changed spark plug tried adjusting idle screw . I'm lost I thought husqvarna was top of the line .
