The part throttle is actuated by the choke pull, the choke shaft on the carb has a white plastic arm that contacts and locks the throttle shaft, the arm is sprung loaded so when the trigger is pressed the arm jumps off, so you need to look at the arm, as it is plastic it can wear and then not engage with the throttle shaft.

    There's clearly a problem with the choke lever and or carb end interior, cleaning might solve the problem if not I'll replace the carb, thanks for your input

SOURCE: Have a Husky 254xp and I have to consantly

When you say re adjust back to basic settings, are they actually vibratinh out? it maybe the springs have become weak and allowing them to move due to the vibration of the saw.

SOURCE: Homelite gas trimmer will not run without half choke and throttle

You need to disassemble the carb. and spray with carb. cleaner. If you need tips on how to do this, just let me know. You may need a new carb. kit as well, but we won't know that until you first perform the first step, or if the carb. parts are more than 3 years old. If they are, then go ahead and buy the carb. kit and replace the parts.

SOURCE: runs only on half choke

Before you take it a part adjust the fuel air mixture most of these small engines are air 1 1/4 and fuel 1 turn get it to ideal just before the foot spins ( let the engine warm up good and have fresh fuel before doing these adjustments) afer a good ideal adjust the mixture for a full no bogging speed . If this does not work then start to work on the carb.

SOURCE: Put new carb on my 97 Yamaha kodiak 400, starts

Check your base gasket on the carb.

Testimonial: "The base on the carb is tight, not sure if it's getting to much gas or not enough going from half to full throttle when it starts blue smokin and cutting out and surging"

Not getting gas on my husband 5000 husky he is getting fire. He cleaned the carburator and changed the coil. He gets fire but it ill not stay started.

Use pressure washer for cleaning or washing garden. I take your electricity instead of gas which is much cheaper for us. Before buying a pressure washer pump it is better to read the review about that product. Read review at PressureWasherify

Hi there, I got the Husky 240e, with only ~4h of running. my problem is that the chainsaw starts smoothly but when pressing the throttle it is suffocates and turned off. When gently squeezing the...

The symptoms indicate lean running, so check the fuel filter for plugging and the fuel lines for decay or other damage. Husky seems be having troubles with our ethanol treated fuel and may require some warranty attention. We have a year old 435 Husky that would not start after about 3 days of excellent running--warranty replaced the carburetor which seems to have us working well now. Good luck!

2008 dyna lowrider run switch will not activate,

"The two small hydo lines entering it seem to be loose and spring loaded turn screw is also loose"

I think you're referring to the two throttle cables and the throttle lock screw on the bottom of the throttle mechanism.

The "run/stop" switch is located inside the switch housing on the throttle side. It has three wires running to it. If the switch does not work, it may be defective.

To replace the switch, you must remove the two bolt that hold the switch halves together. Carefully seperate the two halves. the "Run/Stop" switch is in the front half of the switch housing. The switch is held in by a couple of small screws. Remove the switch and unsolder the wires taking note of which wire goes where. Resolder the wires to a new switch and install the switch in the housing. Reassemble housing keeping it positioned up firmly against the front brake master cylinder. Check the throttle for proper operation prior to starting the engine.

Husky 455 dies out at full throttle or under load

Your carb may be the issue but your ignition coil could be the culprit. Once they start going bad, they can act up intermittently or give various symptoms from day to day. The fact that your saw dies at full load or under load, probably means that when your saw gets hot or requires more spark, your coil is not able to provide it. Your carb is easy enough to clean out, you can take it all apart and clean all screens, etc....

I just replaced my coil due to the exact same symptoms and now my saw runs great. $60 off ebay and you can put it on in 15 minutes yourself. Check your carb first though
