Hi Dave:
If you hold the bar nose up when adjusting and tightening the bar, then I think your saw is like detail A here (may not be your saw):
http://weborder.husqvarna.com/order_static/doc/HIUS/HIUS2008/HIUS2008_506955901.pdf
Configure it like detail B and the problem is solved. I did a quick search for item 16 (<$25) and available. You also need item 14 (2 each, $1±), and a scrench ($10± at a local saw store after you get the bar nuts).

If the saw listed is not yours, you can find yours here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000; please contact Husqvarna for single digit clarification http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/customer-support/)
15 = week produced – March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week

If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. Thank you for using FixYa and Good Luck. HTH

What is the longest bar &chain i can put on my husqvarna 235

if you tighten the panel for the bar and chain too tight it pulls the bolts out slightly out of the chassis of the body. that is why it isnt oiling properly. i had a 235 and that is what happened to mine. what you could do is file down the raised plastic where the bolts enter the body and that might help.

What is the difference between a Husqvarna 450 and a 450E model?

To be quite honest there is really no difference. I have a Husqvarna 435 and would recommend it any day. Husqvarna makes great saws so I would not hesitate to buy one.Nathan

How do you put the chain back on the track of a Husqvqrna e series 235 chain saw.

You need to make sure the blade is not damaged. You need to release the chain tension screw, most cases; you turn in counter clock wise to release the tension rod. Do it in the reverse when you reinstall chain to tighten it back up to operating conditions.

My husqvarna automatic chain oiler doesn,t work...235 husqvarna any fixes?.

You may have gotten some saw dust particles inside the oil resevoir that got sucked into the delivery tube, thus clogging up the oiler...you can drain the oil out of resevoir and run some seafoam thru the oil resevoir to see if you can get it unclogged

Husqvarna 345e

I have a model 435 Husky that had the same hard-to-start problem--warranty service replaced the carburetor and it seems to work ok now. The chain that continues to turn can be fixed by turning the idle-speed screw (not the H or L jet screws) CCW a small amount until it can be accelerated then dropped back to idle to quit driving the chain. Hope this helps!

How do i release the clutch band to replace chain cover on a 235 e-series

Husqvarna - IPL, 235, 235e 240, 240e, 2008-01, Chain Saw (example - may not be your saw):
http://weborder.husqvarna.com/order_static/doc/usa/2006/I06000/I0601076.pdf
See Detail A or B (same pn), pn 503 057940. You can use a Crescent Wrench on one of the ears (left end) to reset it. With the cover positioned with pn 503 057940 in the upper left rotate it CW until it nests, to reset it.

This works quite well:
Reset Chain Brake by Dolfoff
Please follow this link, http://www.fixya.com/support/t3102817-re_install_side_cover_after_chain
Cursor down to “Best Solution”, while there click the “Was this helpful? [Yes]” button
If you do not have a vise a large C clamp to a work surface might work, you may still need a block or two of wood.

You can download the IPL for you saw here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000)
15 = week produced - March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week

I can't get the clutch cover back on my Husqvarna 235 e because the chain break is engaged. Spring is too tight to disengage it.

The chain brake is engaged when the brake handle is moved forward.....to ensure it is actually the chain brake...with the clutch cover off and in your hand, pull the chain brake back...if it will not move, attempt to move it forward to see if it was not engaged...if it moves forward, it is now engaged...pull back to disengage it...a lot of times the problem is not the brake, but rather the bar adjuster....if the brake is not the problem,...loosen the bar adjuster and reassemble the unit...once assembled, then adjust the bar as per the user manual.

let me know what you find.
