    Question:
    I have a Husqvarna 350 chainsaw purchased in 2007. After I changed the chain, now when I start the saw, I then release the break and the chain just runs at very high speed even after I press the throttle. The saw ran fine before I changed the chain. Any suggestions as to what I may have done and what I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    I would have to think that the original chain may have been dragging a bit and the carburetor was adjusted to compensate for it. Now that the chain moves freely the carburetor may need to be adjusted back.

    With that being said, I would take it to a local Husqvarna dealer to have them take a look at this issue. This involves safety and nobody wants to see you get hurt over this one. You can find a local service center via the link below.
