I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for that. I just bought this saw in Jan '22 and one thing about it that seems weird is when you get bound up in a tree knot or turn it a little sideways when cutting (pinched cut) the saw acts like it has some kind of equilibrium sensor and it shuts off.

I've had some good luck with my Husqvarna 440e. Mine wouldn't start out of the box even though I followed the instructions. Turns out the carburetor was set way too lean to run where I live (700' above sea level). Had to richen the adjustment screws about 2 whole turns! I guess it was factory set for about 7000'? Since tuning it has been quite reliable! Plenty of power for me and the light weight helps minimize fatigue. What was wrong with your carburetor? 8/10 small engines I've purchased (not just chainsaws) have been improperly tuned from the factory. At least the 440 doesn't use fixed jets!

I have 2 Stihl saws, the 14" broke out the chain adjuster, the 24" floods the carb so I ordered a new carb. I bought this 440 saw since I have over a dozen dead standing pine trees needing to be turned into firewood. From Big-R it ran rich and wouldn't idle. Once I adjusted the carb for 6,500 ft elevation it became usable. Nice tip for grinding flat blade groves in the mixture screws, whoever came up with that spline screw never ran a chainsaw in their life. Thanks

So far I like my Husqvarna. Professional tree cutters use them. Mine starts fine but I bought mine at a dealership that services them and they started it up, tuned it before I walked out the door, something you don’t get when you buy them at Lowes. Stihl and the other brands have the same amount of plastic and they all work just fine.

The thing with this saw, is you have to learn how these start. One thing you never want to do is touch the trigger. You set the choke, which sets the high throttle, pump it 6 or 10 times, pull it twice. It should bark off, then without ever touching the trigger, move the choke lever back to run and it should bang off on high rev. Let it smooth out about 5 to 10 seconds and then blip the throttle. I started mine like this for 7 years until earlier last year it wont start at all. I don't know if the ethanol gas finally rotted the carb out or something is clogging the jets(why im searching youtube for 440 xtorq vids)or the fuel filter, hoses, or primer bulb is shot. I pulled the plug for the first time and it looked fine but I replaced it and nothing changed. I poured mix gas in the bang hole and it barks right off for about a second and dies. Definitely a fuel issue.

The muffler chokes it down. Open it up and it'll run stronger at higher RPM & tune easily. I bought a "Refurbished" 440 like new in box for half price years ago. It had a bad carb, replaced it and it has run like a champ for years. Loosen the oil cap when you store it to release pressure or it'll puke all the oil out. It needs an oil tank pressure vent like the fuel tank has.

Bubba, Thanks for the review. I believe that I have purchased the exact same chainsaw that you have, up to the point of leaking gas and oil everywhere. It has never been easy to start. Right now I am waiting on delivery of a starter pulley. I wore the old one out from pulling on it so many times. I have read that this model is easily flooded and that you should choke for one pull and then notch it down to high idle and crank. Thanks for conveying the frustration that I have experienced with this saw. It truly is a POS. Craig

i have 3 440s there is a trick to starting them even when warm . there is a half step down from full choke .step one go full choke pull til you hear it pop then go a half step down this will put it at high idle pull again til it starts hit the trigger again to go back to idle . do this when warm too.sometimes when warm you can just go right to half step down. peace

I bought a huskvarna 440 on Amazon last year and it has been in the shop 4 times in the first few months with starting issues, plastic clutch cover problems, and after only 6 months of use I had to replace the clutch, clutch cover, and handle. The clutch cover was replaced twice. Never starts when you need it and floods quickly. I think for $400 dollars it should be better quality. All in all I think it sucks.

@kenibnanak55543 жыл бұрын
Decent review. I have an older model 440e. It has totally different oil and fuel filler caps. Also the chain tension adjustment on mine is a fold in crank. Spin it one way to tighten the chain, the other way to loosen or remove the chain. That said, I find this one greatly superior to my Home Depot Poulon (which actually melted on me in use) and the old McGregor which was always breaking that little nut bar on the tension bar). It is lighter than both of them (because it has so much plastic) and mine starts okay, which is a big difference between ours. No doubt as the years rolled on Husqvarna made subtle internal design changes for more profit. I can get fairly high RPMs out of it depending on how much trigger pull I give. Like yours, mine leaks gas, but unlike yours I don't have oil leaks. The gas leak on mine only happens when I refuel. For a few minutes it leaks about 3 table spoons of gas, then the leak stops. Mine does drink oil however and each full tank of fuel uses about a 3/4 tank of chain saw oil. I don't resharpen my chains. I know I should, but I just put the worn down ones (they blow dust, not chips) in a box and put on a new chain. I have had mine for maybe 8 years adn I am on my 6th chain, so I use mine a fair bit making firewood, clearing trails, etc. Would I buy another if this one broke? If I don't see a better buy for the money, yes, sure.

U must have gotten a lemon. Usually a goon saw. Have a 455 model. Good saw. Is a defect on the oil line on these saws. Over time the oilline shrinks and it leaks oil. So u replace it and glue it. Has been good then. Think stihls are a little better saw. Though the smaller ones seem a little doggie. Have ran a 350 husqvarna. Really liked that saw. Good power to weight ratio. Big saws are kinda heavy for tree trimming. Why i was looking at a 440 model. The new 440 wonder how people like that? Soposedly starts good.

Put fuel and chain oil in it and she fired right up and we went to cutting went through about half a tank a fuel shut it off to clear some ground and damn if the thing never hit another lick. I tried almost everything other than buying a new carb. Damn Husky should just bought myself a Stihl. But I'm going to man up and take into town and let a guy tune it for me he says that's all it needs .

As far as the carburetor goes......you wasted your money buying a new one, You should have used that money for a co-pay at your Doctor: got that adhd under control. The carb just needed tunning, not replaced. You might want to look into tunning a carburetor with the current EPA regulations

Most every complaint I heard in this video I attribute to user error. Anyone tearing into the carburetor of a relatively new saw is most likely introducing problems. Re-tuning a relatively new saw also most likely introduced starting problems. Failing to understand how a purge bulb functions creates starting problems. As a final nail in the coffin, that plastic "bubble" is actually called a purge bulb. It's also often called a primer bulb, which it isn't but called that just the same. Issues with leaking oil and fuel when stored tend to be significantly rrduced by simply breaking the seals on the fuel and oil caps to relieve tank pressure before putting it away. Those tanks get pressurized when the saw is runing, Bubba. I've worked on a lot of saws, owned and operated by some really uneducated people where power tools are concerned. Neither Stihl or Husqvarna are the easiest to work on as they are "over engineered", but when set up properly, and not fiddled with by amateurs, always work fine and do so for a very long time.

I have a 18" also which is great also just like the extra 2" inches. the saw is very light also which is nice. Huskavarna owns Husqvarna so I am sure it will last. its not a sthl but still love it!

I will agree. Initially, I had issues getting it started. I adjusted the carb and never had a problem since. I like the spline personally.
I have this saw and I fully agree with you,you spend more time trying to start it than you actually use it 😂
I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for that. I just bought this saw in Jan '22 and one thing about it that seems weird is when you get bound up in a tree knot or turn it a little sideways when cutting (pinched cut) the saw acts like it has some kind of equilibrium sensor and it shuts off.
I've had some good luck with my Husqvarna 440e. Mine wouldn't start out of the box even though I followed the instructions. Turns out the carburetor was set way too lean to run where I live (700' above sea level). Had to richen the adjustment screws about 2 whole turns! I guess it was factory set for about 7000'? Since tuning it has been quite reliable! Plenty of power for me and the light weight helps minimize fatigue. What was wrong with your carburetor? 8/10 small engines I've purchased (not just chainsaws) have been improperly tuned from the factory. At least the 440 doesn't use fixed jets!

I have 2 Stihl saws, the 14" broke out the chain adjuster, the 24" floods the carb so I ordered a new carb. I bought this 440 saw since I have over a dozen dead standing pine trees needing to be turned into firewood. From Big-R it ran rich and wouldn't idle. Once I adjusted the carb for 6,500 ft elevation it became usable. Nice tip for grinding flat blade groves in the mixture screws, whoever came up with that spline screw never ran a chainsaw in their life. Thanks

So far I like my Husqvarna. Professional tree cutters use them. Mine starts fine but I bought mine at a dealership that services them and they started it up, tuned it before I walked out the door, something you don’t get when you buy them at Lowes. Stihl and the other brands have the same amount of plastic and they all work just fine.
Did anyone notice the deer that came out in the background?
The thing with this saw, is you have to learn how these start. One thing you never want to do is touch the trigger. You set the choke, which sets the high throttle, pump it 6 or 10 times, pull it twice. It should bark off, then without ever touching the trigger, move the choke lever back to run and it should bang off on high rev. Let it smooth out about 5 to 10 seconds and then blip the throttle. I started mine like this for 7 years until earlier last year it wont start at all. I don't know if the ethanol gas finally rotted the carb out or something is clogging the jets(why im searching youtube for 440 xtorq vids)or the fuel filter, hoses, or primer bulb is shot. I pulled the plug for the first time and it looked fine but I replaced it and nothing changed. I poured mix gas in the bang hole and it barks right off for about a second and dies. Definitely a fuel issue.
Just got frustrated with my old one today not starting so upgraded to this one and I’m like you it was hard as hell to start

Alan, just bought a husky 440 reconditioned on Amazon $250. No issues, runs great but might be developing a baroil leak. My 4th husky chainsaw, possibly the best.
The muffler chokes it down. Open it up and it'll run stronger at higher RPM & tune easily. I bought a "Refurbished" 440 like new in box for half price years ago. It had a bad carb, replaced it and it has run like a champ for years. Loosen the oil cap when you store it to release pressure or it'll puke all the oil out. It needs an oil tank pressure vent like the fuel tank has.
Bought a 440e yesterday and didn't get a chance to use it. It would bog down on load. Returned this POS back to Lowes, went to home depot & bought the CS400. Works great!

Bubba, Thanks for the review. I believe that I have purchased the exact same chainsaw that you have, up to the point of leaking gas and oil everywhere. It has never been easy to start. Right now I am waiting on delivery of a starter pulley. I wore the old one out from pulling on it so many times. I have read that this model is easily flooded and that you should choke for one pull and then notch it down to high idle and crank. Thanks for conveying the frustration that I have experienced with this saw. It truly is a POS. Craig

i have 3 440s there is a trick to starting them even when warm . there is a half step down from full choke .step one go full choke pull til you hear it pop then go a half step down this will put it at high idle pull again til it starts hit the trigger again to go back to idle . do this when warm too.sometimes when warm you can just go right to half step down. peace

I bought a huskvarna 440 on Amazon last year and it has been in the shop 4 times in the first few months with starting issues, plastic clutch cover problems, and after only 6 months of use I had to replace the clutch, clutch cover, and handle. The clutch cover was replaced twice. Never starts when you need it and floods quickly. I think for $400 dollars it should be better quality. All in all I think it sucks.

Great advise. I was going to buy one of these until I seen your video. Husqvarna, what are your engineers doing? Here I come Stihl.
Decent review. I have an older model 440e. It has totally different oil and fuel filler caps. Also the chain tension adjustment on mine is a fold in crank. Spin it one way to tighten the chain, the other way to loosen or remove the chain. That said, I find this one greatly superior to my Home Depot Poulon (which actually melted on me in use) and the old McGregor which was always breaking that little nut bar on the tension bar). It is lighter than both of them (because it has so much plastic) and mine starts okay, which is a big difference between ours. No doubt as the years rolled on Husqvarna made subtle internal design changes for more profit. I can get fairly high RPMs out of it depending on how much trigger pull I give. Like yours, mine leaks gas, but unlike yours I don't have oil leaks. The gas leak on mine only happens when I refuel. For a few minutes it leaks about 3 table spoons of gas, then the leak stops. Mine does drink oil however and each full tank of fuel uses about a 3/4 tank of chain saw oil. I don't resharpen my chains. I know I should, but I just put the worn down ones (they blow dust, not chips) in a box and put on a new chain. I have had mine for maybe 8 years adn I am on my 6th chain, so I use mine a fair bit making firewood, clearing trails, etc. Would I buy another if this one broke? If I don't see a better buy for the money, yes, sure.

U must have gotten a lemon. Usually a goon saw. Have a 455 model. Good saw. Is a defect on the oil line on these saws. Over time the oilline shrinks and it leaks oil. So u replace it and glue it. Has been good then. Think stihls are a little better saw. Though the smaller ones seem a little doggie. Have ran a 350 husqvarna. Really liked that saw. Good power to weight ratio. Big saws are kinda heavy for tree trimming. Why i was looking at a 440 model. The new 440 wonder how people like that? Soposedly starts good.

Put fuel and chain oil in it and she fired right up and we went to cutting went through about half a tank a fuel shut it off to clear some ground and damn if the thing never hit another lick. I tried almost everything other than buying a new carb. Damn Husky should just bought myself a Stihl.

As far as the carburetor goes......you wasted your money buying a new one, You should have used that money for a co-pay at your Doctor: got that adhd under control. The carb just needed tunning, not replaced. You might want to look into tunning a carburetor with the current EPA regulations

Best iv bought so far as starting is the Echo CS-400 with 18 bar. I did a review on it as well. Wish you luck. Thanks for Watching
It seems like my older Husqvarna 51 has more muscle behind it than this one. But it cuts better than my buddy crapsman
He said the truth echo what is the better chainsaw
is that a deer in the background at 3:50

Reason I did this review. Both the new ones I bought where 💩. Had to get my trusty Echo CS400 out. Which I also did a review on-FYI
Trouble starting a Husky? LoL. I purposely buy these due to the easy start. These are the EASIEST saw to start !! If you cannot figure out how to start a Husky then you probably should not be operating a saw. HaHa. A whole toolbox we will need to run one? This video is too funny. I choose these for the reason that they are so easy to run
Most every complaint I heard in this video I attribute to user error. Anyone tearing into the carburetor of a relatively new saw is most likely introducing problems. Re-tuning a relatively new saw also most likely introduced starting problems. Failing to understand how a purge bulb functions creates starting problems. As a final nail in the coffin, that plastic "bubble" is actually called a purge bulb. It's also often called a primer bulb, which it isn't but called that just the same. Issues with leaking oil and fuel when stored tend to be significantly rrduced by simply breaking the seals on the fuel and oil caps to relieve tank pressure before putting it away. Those tanks get pressurized when the saw is runing, Bubba. I've worked on a lot of saws, owned and operated by some really uneducated people where power tools are concerned. Neither Stihl or Husqvarna are the easiest to work on as they are "over engineered", but when set up properly, and not fiddled with by amateurs, always work fine and do so for a very long time.
Do you have the tools to tune the carburetor?

Yes
I got one that doesn't start after two uses but I don't have the skill or desire to mess with it. I figure it ought to run without me having to tear it apart every other time. I'm going to give it a couple more chances and then it goes into the garbage and I spend the money for a Stehl. Even then you take a chance you'll get one that sucks in a mayonnaise jar.

I concur...Paid a lot of money for my 440 years ago and its best use is...without a doubt ... holding the work bench down, while taking up shop space. Wish I had my ole Jonsered that I had in the 70's...

Facts here. I got a lemon also . I paid 350$ . Worst chainsaw ever had . 100$ Poulans on black Friday are a better gamble.

@@nickharrison8360 you can get the same tune up kit he showed on his video for $19 from Amazon. If you buy the coil for $20 you get free same day delivery if you live anywhere near an Amazon distribution center. FYI their is dowel that lines up the carburetor, the new carburetor doesn't have the hole that accepts the dowel so you need to drill one, you'll see it on your old carburetor.

JohnnyB813 Congratulations on getting a good one! Both the 2-new ones I purchased where Turds right out of the box!
*push the primer 6 times and let it rip I like the saw for the price👀 **allabout.wiki/Chainsaw** used maybe 10 tanks of fuel, 6 loads of hard wood and am very pleased with it. some will say its under powered for a 20" but I like it better then a 18". I have a 18" also which is great also just like the extra 2" inches. the saw is very light also which is nice. Huskavarna owns Husqvarna so I am sure it will last. its not a sthl but still love it! I have seen some bad reviews on the saw but do not agree with them. some people told me not to waste my money but have since changed there mind. just have some common sense and cut some wood!*
He’s using regular gas
He's right about that piece of Plastic!

I'm Sorry it's hard to type on a Phone while you're laughing so hard.
Got one...took a few pulls to start. Once it was running it seemed to run at insufficient RPM's...to the point where it bogged down mid cut on a 12" log. Stalls while sitting on the ground.

You bought a homeowner saw from a big box store. They all have lots of plastic.
Mine starts just fine. For the money you just can't beat this saw. Some people are just dumb asses and can't follow directions.
I learned few new slang words. I guess I won't buy it.
I bought the same one two weeks ago at Lowe's and returned it a week later because the thing would not start. I thought it was a fluke so I exchanged it for the same model and guess what? It is impossible to start so it is going back tomorrow. I think I will hire a handyman instead :) Great review!!!

I figured out how to start it and it's a good saw
Of all the chainsaws that I've owned, the 440 is probably the worst of the lot. Difficult to start, plenty of design flaws, and it won't run on anything less than 94% fuel. A major expense that they don't tell you about.
HEY DUDE MILLER HIGH LIFE IS THE WRONG FUEL !! PETRO, GASOLINA WORKS BETTER !! IM BUYING ONE JUST LIKE IT FROM A FRIEND AT GOOD PRICE. U KINDA SCARED THE FK OUT ME. GOOD LUCK. TEXAS.

LOL he obviously has no Idea how to use or maintain a chain saw, Stihl and Echo have the same issues if you don't properly maintain them. I chose This saw because it has the largest engine for an 18" bar out of the 2 aforementioned, I can rip threw a 30" downed trunk in less than 50 seconds, I don't even use my Stihl 251 anymore, mainly because the Husqvarna out performs it and time is money. Read the Manual learn to use your equipment properly and above all practice safety, which I can tell....you Don't do any on them
