Straight to the point and no BS. Thank you!

Just a tip....While you have the carb apart, hold the diaphragm up to a bright light and see if it has a hole or a crack in it.

I took the same saw to a repair shop a few years ago and they told me that I needed a new carb, $85 bucks later I was good for a while. But I didn't realize that the alcohol in gas will turn to varnish if you don't use it up. I am determined to fix this problem this time, as I also did with my lawn mower twice. Now I buy gas with no alcohol in it. Excellent video, Thanks

Clear step-by-step troubleshooting and maintenance techniques. Excellent.

Thanks for the great instructions, the secret is to check same for same diaphragms, some aftermarket ones look the same but some dont have the small holes. Yes I found out the hard way

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I followed your step-by-step video and solved why my Echo chainsaw wouldn't start. It's now running flawlessly. You, literally, saved me from spending hundreds on a new machine. Your are awesome, my friend!!! Information is POWER!!!

Dump old gas and replace with fresh. Add a little Seafoam engine treatment to the fresh gas+oil, cycle primer bulb 5 times, pull cord 5 times with choke on, then let sit for 24 hrs and soak. Next day try to start again. Fixes itself 8/10 times in my experience if the diaphragm and fuel lines are good with no saw breakdown.

Good info guys. This video is details how to service the chainsaw carburetor.

Thank you very much now I can get out that polan saw and replace fuel lines and clean the carb with confidence

Great video. It revealed many mysteries. It also confirmed my thankfully infrequent response to starting troubles ... take the bloody thing to a good small engine mechanic and let them sort it out. That might have taken you about 30 minutes. It would have taken me a couple of hours and I doubt that I could have put the thing back together again even if I figured out how to take it apart. Cheers mate.

Thank you!!!! Thorough instructions! I love it :)

Way to go... and if you don't use it much be sure to drain fuel out of gas tank and run it out of Carb and she should start right up when you are needing to use it. Also doesn't hurt to pour a little 2 cycle oil in the fuel tank and pull the start cord to get a little in the carb to keep it nice while in storage.

My Husqvarna 240 lost spark so I replaced the coil and plug. It still didn't start and started dumping fuel out the exhaust. I installed a new carb, filter and lines and set the H & L screws out 1 1/2 turns. Now I have fuel and spark and it still won't start.

My experience also is the stone filters break down & causes the grit you see in the carburetor. Switch to a paper filter & this will prevent the trash in the carb. My number 1 tip to all.

Brilliant information put across so well, I have same issue, when opening up the carb to check diaphragms one was wet so reckon it was punctured, looking for a replacement right now?

Good job I’m gonna try to fix my chainsaw Cajun land Church point Louisiana good video understand good he been videos gone👍

Note i did not finish watching the video. To see what the carbs problem was. But thought id mention a trick everyone can try as soon as one doesn't want to stay running or even doesn't run top notch. My husky did it yesterday. First start of the season was a no go. Readjust and i was off and cutting. My Stihl trimmer does it to me atleast twice a year or more. All you gotta do is run the needles down gently seated and usually the setting is 1 and 1/4 turns out on both high and low needles. It should start then. Then adjust from there. Lots of videos on that. But anywho. It must be trash or varnish builds under the needle and seat and running it in clears it. Its worked more then 30 or.40 times in my life. If you took it to a shop they will tear it down and sell you a rebuild job every time. Um very seldom needed. Not on old stuff anyway. Most of this new stuff you either cant adjust or need a special splined tool for the job. They cant sell you. But i ordered a full set yesterday for my stepfathers polan and lord noes what else. New Junk. Look for needles you can adjust. Or dont buy it. Or you can simple toss the carb and buy a new chinese one for around 15 bucks. Your call. Note echo blower a couple years ago i bought new had no screws. Ran to rich, no power so i returned it i was so mad. I heard from my local shop Most or them came tuned to lean and burnt up. Check your local pawn shops for the older stuff while you can still get it. Then learn to work on it. Tons of videos!

It’s also a good idea to check the spark arrestor to make sure it hasn’t become gummed up. A little mineral spirits and gentle application of heat with a small propane/mapp torch will clean it right up.

thew splined tools avail from wish china 5 bucks the set landed. Another tip is screw idle well in so enigne will run as u tune. ie low jet adjust till it starts responding freely then back idle screw off. especially handy if youve pull jets out for cleaning. i run the carbs thru a small ultrasonic cleaner its amazing the crap petrol leaves behind in the galleries of carbs.

It doesn't take much to clog those tiny ports on those carburetors. In the future... if you drain the fuel and run it out of the carb before you store it for a month or longer you will save yourself from having to do this. Thanks for watching

Hi Folks, don't forget to add gas stabilizer when storing your machine, it is often the source of problems. Also use the best gas you can find, you'll be glad you did. Those small engines are fairly simple to fix, just practice preventive mechanical measures and you will avoid most common issues.

Husqvarna gas has Stabilizer in it by default & can sit for up to 2 years without issue. Cost more but you can relax when stored during winter.

I have a Husqvarna Rancher 455 sitting on storage for about 10 years. I have not tried to start but I´m sure it won´t . I do not have your skills to do this procedure and will have to replace the carburetor (Amazon $27) if it needs maintenance. Thanks for the nice class.
