A neighbor just gave me A Husqvarna 240 that he was going to throw away. This video is perfect timing for me! His starter pulley is ruined, he chewed it up where it won't grab and turn the engine. There's no bar, side panel screws missing, bar bolts missing, chain brake missing. LOL, he was done with it! I ordered the plastic pulley, I'll see if it will run and go from there. Your videos are always excellent! Thanks for posting them. Husqvarna has a good web page that shows parts and prices easily, that's very helpful.

Thank you so much for this in-depth video. I did not see you put the gaskets back in, but since they weren’t on your bench, you must’ve done that. God bless you. From your neighbor in South Central, Missouri. John.

@michaelspencer301 3 года назад

All you need to do is remove the three screws on the throttle trigger handle and remove the trigger, lock, and spring. Very very simple and there is no need to pry on anything and opens it completely up to work on. Done dozens of them. Hope it helps. Great video.

@snaponjohn100 Год назад

Thank you for this response. I was thinking the same thing, but I’ve never worked on any chainsaws yet. I was a car mechanic. I’ve piddled with a lot of lawnmowers.

Can confirm this method worked on a 235e I am working on.

@rulif2092 Год назад

Great video! And thanks for the info here. I got my grandfather's old Husqvarna chainsaw from the 70ies to run again after sitting many years. I replaced fuel line and filter as well as the chain, cleaned the carburettor and adjusted the idle a bit. Now she runs again!

@waynestefinashen239 3 года назад

The OLD MAN at EP saying thanks for the stickers and also hate to tear those saws down. We use a little two stroke oil to ease the installation of the fuel lines and the grommet. We all make mistakes trying to save the customer money but for the cost we basically replace the grommet when it is torn down. Very good video showing the teardown.

@Chickanic 3 года назад

Thanks Wayne!

@esoterickayla9421 3 года назад

I just did all this service on my husquavarna a few weeks ago (fuel lines, filter, primer bulb, carb, plug, air filter, general clean, pulled muffler to check exhaust port) and was thinking it was kind of a pain having to remove the handle to get access. I did not replace that grommet, but it doesn't currently leak. Good to know that it's a possibility in the near future since the fuel line came out in pieces!

@jimw6991 8 месяцев назад

I liked this video but gotta disagree cleaning before repair is a great idea on a used/abused saw. Mine was not cleaned for a few years (I'm a diy guy) and there were oil soaked wood chips and sawdust so thick it was tough to find the screws). With a preliminary clean accomplished then teardown, carb removal and rebuild, fuel system filters and hoses and reassembly with fresh air filter and gaskets almost finish the job. Spark plug, chain replace and the machine should be ready for starting and mixture screw adjustments. This is a good video, but camera work could be better, hard to see what she was doing. Don't skimp on the cleaning ... half the time that's all thats needed.

To put fuel line in the tank, I angle cut it, push it through the hole or grommet and grab it on the inside with my hemostats and pull it into the tank to he desired length. I then cut off the long angle cut, connect a new filter to it and push it back into the tank.

@allennundel6532 Год назад

great instruction video!. I got an early 80's husky 41 from a friend, was sitting for a number of years. Got one of the Chinese carbs for $10, replaced the fuel line (that was difficult), etc. Ran good for 15 to 20 minutes, then would not idle... Got a rebuild kit for the original walbro carb. Hopefully it will work fine!

@rphiliprogers 3 года назад

I alway pressure and vacuum test the tank as part of the engine check I perform on every piece of ODPE that comes in my shop. I also use nothing but Viton for my fuel lines, I've pulled lines on units that are 20 years old with viton and they are still pliable.

@garrettstevensen2467 2 года назад

The most invaluable comment I’ve ever read on RU-vid. Thank you for this. I wish I could send you my Husky 460 Rancher that I got for free. It needs a new cylinder installed (I bought an OEM cylinder). One guy has a video on RU-vid showing a complete rebuild, but he uses loctite as a sealant for the case, crank, cylinder, etc… I dunno if that is the proper procedure…

@rphiliprogers 2 года назад

@@garrettstevensen2467 I use a thin coat of Dirko sealant spread with a popsicle stick to seal my cases. A sealed crankcase is critical to a 2 cycle performance. The most valuable tool in my tool box is my pressure/vacuum pump.

Your videos are great as is this particular one on a Husqvarna 240. I myself have a Husqvarna 345 I got back about 15 years ago and it still runs great. It is interesting to see on being torn apart for this particular problem. I just thought I would tell you in case no one else has ever mentioned in that your sound changes at different points in your videos sometimes and this video was really easy to tell. Sometimes the sound is great but sometimes it gets difficult to hear you at the same volume. I just thought I would mention it to you.

@edbartlett6348 2 года назад

You should hang on to your 345 it’s a great saw and easy to upgrade to a 353 cylinder and piston or better yet a 346 cylinder and piston, lots of iTube video on this,and use non- Ethanol gas

@paulcastillo5235 2 года назад

@@edbartlett6348 It is a great saw and I sometimes use it at work when needed because it is much more reliable than the Stihl MS 290 that I have for particular jobs, It still runs great and I never put anything but ethanol free gas in it.

@kaseygee9818 2 года назад

I feel your pain this saw absolutely sucks!! I took apart the same 240 several times. Finally gave up and replaced the lines, bulb, rebuilt the carb and cleaned it. Sealed the fuel lines with aviation sealant and she works like a charm. Great trim saw for pallets and branches. PITA to work on.

@johnclarke6647 3 года назад

If a tank has a grommet, I clean up the grommet and then coat the mating surface with 1184. I also make sure the fuel line is a tight fit in the grommet. I use the tightest Tyson line I can use for the fuel line, so it fits tight in the grommet but will still connect to the filter and carb. I gave my Husky 240 to my son in law.

@j.chrisbeck7492 3 года назад

I use my air nozzle to blow most of the crud off before performing work...it's just better in the long run, you can see what's what a bit better, you don't get as much crud all over the place, etc etc....it to me is worth the 5 minutes....

My friends new echo started 1st time easier than my stihl my stihl was 8.5 yrs old but started just like it did when new. Only cleaned filter and kept it blowed out dust I'm saying. With stihl hp.mix oil 50:1 never anything else. With ethanol15%.

Great job ! very intricate procedure. I have a husqvarna 460 rancher and I will never touch any husqvarna again 😩 too many problems

@johnclarke6647 2 года назад

I usually put a little dab of grease on the bottom of the lifter spring to keep it from popping out and some on the lifter pin to keep it from sliding out of the lifter as I put the lifter back on to the carb. Gas will wash it out in a short period of time with no effect on the operation of the saw.

@johnclarke6647 2 года назад

That’s why I always put a little 1184 on any tank grommet when I put it in the tank. I then pressure and vacuum test the gas line and tank with my Mighty Vac before I put things back together. This will catch any problems before I put them back together.

Hi Chic. I had one of those little Huskies and it wouldn't start. The Mankanic said that a piece of the carburettor had come loose and gone into the cylinder, so I bought another machine that I still use today- periodically for wood turning blanks which was a 2006 Husquvarna 340e Great machine. Any thoughts?

@mikezupancic2182 Год назад

Seems that any maintenance where you need to replace the lines and fuel filter there should be an automatic grommet replacement. Cant be that expensive to add in and its always guaranteed to be good when the repair is done.

@GAderly-fn5ly Год назад

I have a split boom Husky which I put on a complete new fuel system and it still does the same problem. It starts and runs somewhat but then backfires and quits. Exhaust screen was completely clear. Doesn't appear to have been used much. What's wrong!

@Luigi-pk8mk Год назад

I have a Husky 235 which looks almost identical to this one, I changed the fuel line because the filter rotted off of it, and put a kit in the carb. I don't recall there being a grommet where the fuel line passes through to the tank on this one though, it was a PITA to get it through. I cleaned that brass sintered fitting for the vent while I was in there. It runs great now but yes they are a PITA to take apart. When I took it apart I did take the handle apart to get the throttle lever loose.... PS what's the easiest chainsaw to work on? Echo? or Stihl?

@woodlandburl6648 3 года назад

Like the split screen.

@johnclarke6647 2 года назад

If I have a loose grommet I will usually put a little TB 1184 on the grommet and push it into the tank and put a little 1184 on the fuel line and push it into the grommet. 1184 will stop them from leaking because it is fuel resistant.
