What Husqvarna model??

Its not a torq head, there is a part no. for it 530035560 check the web i am sure there are people selling it.

You mix the petrol with "2 stroke oil" at a ratio of 40:1. Use good quality 2 stroke oil like Husqvarna or Stihl rather than the cheaper ones you get in service stations.

You also need to use Chain Oil which goes in the opening marked Oil. You can get chain oil from any tool hire company or hardware store. It needs to be refilled each time you refill the fuel mix.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE CHAIN IS LOCATED IS AN COVER.tAKE IT OUT.tHEN YOU WILL SEE A NUT OR 2,UNSCREW THEM.

THEN YOU WILL HAVE THE CHAIN PLATE SEPARATE AND YOU CAN TAKE THE CHAIN OUT.REPLACE IT AND REVESE THE PROCEDURE.

I'm having difficult time aligning the throttle arm any secreats

I just fixed my chainsaw with the same problem. Nothing is broken, it just builds up a teaspoon full of sawdust between the click out band and the centrifugal clutch. Taking off the cover on the bar side, you just have to get all that stuff out with a tooth pick or shard of Fir wood kindling untill you can spin the centrifugal clutch with your finger - with the snap bar rearward. I took the whole band off and removed about half a cup of fine sawdust mixed with bar oil from behind the band area. Watch out for small parts like a 1/8" roll pin that has to go back in there when you put it back together - keep all the dust in a can just in case!

Hi, the chain brake has most likely been activated while removing the cover. Place the cover in a vise where the bar nuts tighten up to and pull the chain brake lever backwards towards where the handle bar would be. It should click back and stay back. Hope this helps, regards Phil.

To load the brake grab the hand guard firmly and pull it fully back to the top handle, you should hear a click as it loads.

Hi, low screw 1 and a quarter, hi screw 1. Regards Phil.

If this is the tooless brake cover, with the big plastic hand nut, i never liked this system, we always fitted the standar brake with a 13mm nut that could be tightened with the combination spanner, the brake is part no. 501388201.

The saw is a 41, as standard it ran a 15" bar and chain, in the UK it ran a .325 pitch, however in the US, it ran a 3/8 pitch chain, as you should change the sprocket if fitting a new chain, i would put it on .325 if it is not already, the sprocket is part no. 530069342, the 15" chain is 501840664, and the guide bar is 508926164 these are .325 pitch 050 gauge and 64 drive links, this combination will cut much faster than the 3/8 low profile combination.

Verify you have oil in the oil fill tank. Try cleaning inside the drive sprocket cover. Release the chain tension and carefully dislodge the bar and chain assembly. Clean sawdust and debris from behind and inside the housing and behind the bar. Use a wisker wire to clean the through ports and channels on bar( these ports are the path that the oil travels to the drag groove that the drive links on the chain uses to pull the oil to the tip of the bar).

If this does not correct the problem contact Husqvarna customer service or a local service repair.

Hello slehman629,

Take off the chain and bar and you can clean out the oilier tube with a piece of wire or a dull drill bit a small screw might work.It is just saw dust that gets packed in there. Thank you for using fix ya.

The fuel hose is all one piece from the tank up to the carb, it is just an interference fit in the tank, you will need to replace the complete pipe, the best way to do this is to **** the new pipe up the middle, about 30/40mm, take away one side of the pipe, it will now fit through the hole in the tank from the top, use a pair of long nose pliers through the fuel filler hole to grab the pipe and pull it on in, trim the end and re fit the fuel filter.

Hi, Gerald I will try to help. The high speed mixture screw basic setting is about 1 1/4 turns out from lightly seated position and the idle or low speed mixture screw is about 1 turn out from lightly seated position. To get the manufacturers basic or start out setting, remember the position of the screws before you start any adjustments. Both are done the same way. Turn adjust screw in or clockwise until lightly seated (so the soft metal is not damaged when seating the screw) then turn out or counterclockwise, high 1 1/4 turns and low 1 turn out. Do any adjustments in 1/8 turn increments until you get running. Do not turn the high speed mixture screw so there is less than 3/4 of a turn from seated position, The reason is not to run the engine too lean so engine does not overheat. When turning the screw in, there is less gas in the mixture, therefore when turning out you allow more gas in the fuel to air mixture.
The problem might not be adjustment, it could be many other things causing it not to run properly. Make sure the air filter is clean, the fuel filter in the tank is not plugged up. Spark plug might be fouling up, the fuel lines might have dirt or starting to go. The fuel tank is usually vented by the tank cap and might be plugging up not allowing enough air in. Check the bolts screws and gaskets of the carb so there is no air leaking in.
The carb might need an overhaul, cleaning and maybe a carb kit.
These are suggestions to help diagnose the problem. I might have forgotten other things to check out. I hope this helps you out a bit. All the best and good luck.

Before the year 200, the first digit would denote the year of manufacture, and the second two digits the week within that year, the final numbers would be the number of machines produced in that year, that week. up to that machine, this was done in a ten year rotation, so 0 could be 1980/1990, so i would say your machine was produced in 1990 week nine, and was 26 off the production line.

Opposite the fuel fill is the tank breather, and the return to tank hose if the machine has a primer, the back to tank hose fits on to an orange connection in the tank, it may have slipped off, next to it is the breather the early breather was two white pellets pressed into the tank, these will need to be removed and replaced if this is where the leak is from, the later breather is a white round assembly with a connection on the top, nothing fits to this conection, the breather can be pulled and and replaced if required.

IT IS A HARD STARTING POS SAW, i HAVE ONE THAT DOESN'T START ALSO
