Husky has always been great for me. Cleared over 500 trees when we built house 20 years ago. I had the saw for 25 years. I have 2 other husky saws and a Echo 58v I let my wife use. It is as powerful as any gas 16” saw! Father in law bought one this week too. He has a hard time starting his gas. Electric is the way to go for small jobs.

Husqvarna and especially 142 are one of the best saws for the amount of money you spend on it and maintaining the saw every season will give you a machine for 20 years or more. The power weight ratio makes that saw very useful especially if you need to carry it around a whole day (8 to 10 h)

I have both Stihl and Husqvarna saws and would say that choosing one brand over the other is mostly up to personal preference and access to local service centers. They both make excellent saws. Dolmar seems to be another good alternative but I have never used one. I would stay away from cheap Chinese saws as their safety has been shown to be lacking in comparence to the more professional brands. My preference is Husqvarna as it feels better and more balanced for me and therefore improve my felling precision. On the other hand the small MS-200 is unrivaled when limbing.

In my experience with gas engines it always seems to be a carburetor issue, so I just went ahead a cleaned the carburetor. Maybe the membranes were not flexible enough, because it still didn't start. So I checked to see if there was a spark. YES. So then I yanked the spark plug, added some gas to the cylinder, put the plug back in. Didn't start. The exhaust screen looks clean.

I have A Husqvarna 136 & 141 as well as a Stihl MS 260 and 046. The Husqvarna are more for around the house limbing and cutting down the Volunteer white oaks that surround my property. I keep them for privacy and leave 6'-8' of volunteer white oaks and undergrowth along my fence line. But when a hurricane comes I always loose a few. So I try to get on there and clean them up as much as possible if it's getting to be a busy year in the Atlantic. And the Husqvarna is great for they. And the two I have are small enough my girlfriend can use with no problem. But when we get hit with a big storm, whether it be a thunderstorm that produces tornados or a hurricane and you can see the path all the tornados took through the top of the trees where it's snapped the pines off half way up so it looks like a bunch of Q-tips someone stuck in the ground and then clipped the cotton of the end, when it comes to cleaning up that mess and clearing the roads for my family and my neighbors to be able to get out and go check on their families and go get the things they need and if it's a bad one for the power company to get through and FEMA to get in to start handing out supplies and to start getting people looked at and paid for their damage then it's definitely the Stihl saws that I'm pulling out. My girlfriend is only 130lbs but that girl can run that MS260 with a 20" bar as well as I can. And I can run the 046 with up to a 36" bar and there isn't anything we can't get cut up and out of the way. Whether it's a oak across my neighborhood roof or my own or one of these huge red oaks that's 4' across as the base that's uprooted and across the road. As long as the power lines aren't involved those 2 Stihls will get it done. The Stihl starts easier for me. And they are a more professional grade saw. I know Husqvarna has their pro series as well, but I haven't had the chance to operate one. I but used chainsaws that don't run and repair them and resell them. I got the Stihl 046 free as a box of parts and had to rebuild the entire saw replacing a significant portion. The MS260 I got for $20 and it needed fuel lines and a carb. The 046 is on a chainsaw mill most of the time. After the last hurricane, Sally, they're where several large cedar limbs down behind my shop. They tore down the canoe and kayak rack when they fell. When I cut into them to haul them to the road the wood was this gorgeous purple (so red it had a fantastic purple tint) and white. That was all it took. I kept the wood and started processing it to build jewelry boxes etc out of it. I can't buy wood that beautiful, at least not on my income. So when l rebuilt the 046 I bought a chainsaw mill for like $100 and started keeping an eye on Facebook marketplace and other venues for listings for someone to haul off downed trees or trees they want cut down and hauled away. The people are all to happy to let me haul away their wood for free. Most people want to change them. The way I see it I would have to pay for that wood otherwise. So I pick it up free and process it myself and stack it to dry. If you do it right it doesn't crack and you get very little shrinkage. Then the two Husqvarna where like $25 each. And they both need fuel lines, plugs and one needed an impulse line. But bare minimum. And they are great for climbing or just when you need a light weight saw that will cut through it pretty quickly. Add a electric chain sharpener from Harbor Freight and a extra bar and chain as will as an extra sprocket and I like to keep an extra clutch and a few other extra parts just so if they break down I have what it takes to fix them and can usually have it done in 30 minutes or so. To me they are used for different things. So it's comparing apples and oranges. But I'm sure that's just the saws I have. I'm sure there are big men Husqvarna saws just like there are big mean Stihl saws. But my big mean saws are Stihl and my light weight fast saws are the Husqvarna. They both get a 10 from me. It just depends on what your doing as to which one you grab. You don't want to climb a tree and pull up an idling Stihl 046 with a 32" bar on it. But you don't want to use the Husqvarna ms260 with a 18" bar on a 3' 6" red oak either.

I inherited my dads old pre 2007 husqvarna 350. I cannot locate the owners manual and am having a hard time getting it started. I noticed it has no primer bulb which is not what I am used to. It also has a push or pull out button I dont know the function of whichis located on the right side (looking down on saw from starting stance). It has not been long since it was running. I checked the spark plug and fuel l is fresh. It just won't fire up. Any ideas? Ty.

I have a husqvarna that has fuel and spark but will not start. it worked fine and all of a sudden it started giving trouble. I rebuilt the carb and still will not start. I am pretty handy but this one has me stumped.

I understand. Have you performed a compression test yet?

@@HomeGaragechannel no but it seems to have plenty, It has a compression relief vale on it that seems to be working as well. my compression tester broke and I have not fixed it yet or replaced it. And the saw was running great, I shut it of to refill the fuel and oil and it has never run again. I did get it to fire one or two times but nothing the last several times i have tried to mess with it. I am open to any suggestion you may have, I really like the saw and I might have to bring it to a pro.

gasoline and 2 stroke is what I'm calling mixed fuel.

I have a small poulan and I rebuilt the carb, installed a new gas line and filter. Changed the spark plug and made sure it had a spark. It has compression. It still doesn't start. It fires when I use starter build but that is all. Any suggestions?

have you considered getting an actual compression reading? as for the not running unless primed, I would consider adjusting the carb slightly

no I would not worry about it, I would recommend that when not in use, to pour out the oil into a container

I just bought a Husqvarna 450 saw. Used it for half an hour to do some limbing. Then it wouldn't start. Checked the spark plug and air filter. There is a hole in the air filter mesh screen at the location of one of the air intake ports. It looks to be scorched. And the air filter is definitely marked over the location of the other air inlet port. Anyone come across this sort of problem before? The shop that I bought it from are taking it back in to have a look. I have already lost confidence in Husqvarna saws and want to get a Stihl even though they are 150 dearer. I have a Stihl hedge cutter for a few years now and never had any sort of issues with it.

I have seen something like that before, but I don't remember what it was. Whatever it was, It still started and ran after rebuilding the carb.

One test you should make to any chainsaw if you pull the carb is - pressure test the carb at 5#. If it will not hold this pressure, you will have to clean or replace the needle and lifter. If the needle leaks pressure, you will end up with a saw that runs rich and is a bitch to start because all the gas will drain back into the tank after use.

I've heard of pressure testing before But I'd rather just buy a new carb anyway.

@@HomeGaragechannel me, too. I have ordered a new carb for my 372, but it is fixed now and I can take my time installing the new carb on the saw. I will also have a spare for it for sometime in the future. It took me four Chinese carbs to find one that worked to my specifications. This is still cheaper than buying an oem Stihl carb. For some reasons folks want $80-$100 for a Walbro HD12 carb and I am not paying that much for an oem carb. I can buy 8-10 Chinese carbs for that price and sooner or later I will get one that works, correctly.
