Incredible how inexpensive those kits are. Your knowledge of the parts, their names, and uses is what sets this channel apart. Thanks for sharing it with us. So many useful tips in this one that transfer over to many other small engines…not just Husq chainsaws. I liked the zoom on the still frames at the end - nice touch!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! It's true, most of this transfers to most all two stroke engines, and even four strokes in some cases! Every time I edit I learn something new. I'm glad you noticed!!
This is a great video for tips and troubleshooting I just bought a brand new 2023 440 at Lowe’s it was a return from $359 to $179 and I got the manager to lower it more so I bought it out the door for $97 dollars it has spark and the fire plug is good I’m guessing it may be the fact needs fresh fuel and mix or the carb needs replacing or cleaning but even to buy a replacement carb for less than $30 dollars is still worth it because it’s literally brand new just little dirty and only the first three letters on the bar logo are just starting to wear
Yes ,Thank you, I have same saw. I followed your instructions and it started good. It is idling fast and runs very fast almost doesn't idle back down though. I'm not familiar with the adjustments.
Always get the saw warmed up, then adjust the idle speed screw out until the RPM’s decrease. If the saw won’t stay running, you’ll have to adjust the idle mixture needle (the left mixture adjustment as you’re looking at the saw). It usually doesn’t take much, so open that needle about an 1/8 of a turn open at a time. Keep in mind too, when the saw is running at wide open, it’s always pulling fuel from the idle circuit in addition to the high speed circuit. So idle mixture is actually the more important adjustment to make. If the saw stumbles from idle to high speed, open that idle mixture needle a bit more until the stumble goes away. The high speed mixture, while being a mixture needle, is used to limit the max RPM of the saw. It’s a misconception that you tune that needle till you get maximum RPM. Nothing can be further from the truth. When you tune that needle, you should use an inductive pickup tachometer to tune that needle to the manufacturers specifications. Tuning that needle to get maximum RPM will run the saw lean, and you’ll run the risk of damaging the saw.
Eric, there is a screw labeled "T" above low and high speed mixture screws. Do you know its factory setting? I messed with mine and saw won't start. @@EricGaskamp
This is a pretty terrible video for some good instructions. It's pretty hilarious actually. The most useful part of the video is the only part that's chopped, edited, and fast forwarded. 😆

Good info! Turning the needles, good additional insight.

That was depressing, I though you would go through diss assembly and re assembly.
What carb kit dis you purchase? Could you add the link please
I will look for the amazon link for the one I used! Thanks for watching!

Replace the carb.
Step 1 of 1: remove it with no instruction.....
Can't learn anything when the video is fast forward and you're not explaining
