Check first that you are using premium thread (not the cheaper type that you'd use in an overlocker/serger). Breaking thread could be because of one of the following reasons -
the upper tension is too tight, the machine isn't threaded correctly, the thread doesn't suit the fabric (I had the problem when sewing an item the other day and changed from cotton thread to polyester and it stopped breaking). In your instruction manual check at the back for a troubleshooting section where it should be listed with some solutions.

Sharpening your chain can be done easily, Make sure you have the correct file for your chain, Most common is 5/32, Unless you have a massive chainsaw then it may be a 7/32 file.

First place the chainsaw on a nice level surface to avoid any slippage. Next you'll want to hold the file in the groove of the cutting tooth and make 3-4 strokes of the same length inside the cutting tooth (the silver part). Make sure to do the exact same amount of strokes to each tooth.

You'll notice you can only do one "side" of the chain at a time, then you'll have to spin you chainsaw around to get the teeth that face the other way.

The carb needs to be adjusted. Look for 2 adjustments label High(H) and Low(L). Low is the one that you want. Start you chainsaw and let it warm up and turn the L adjustment a until you are able to let it idle on its own. Hope this helps.

Take the machine to an independent dealer and let him show you it works before you buy it.

the eyes of the needles must line up with lower looper as they pass (timing) the distance between the needle and the looper must be exact. No distance between them and not touching. yep, that tight. they shouldnt move the needle even the slightest amount as they pass each other, yet no space between them.

If this was started without oil in fuel, then the piston is likely scored, and the compression rings stuck in a smeared aluminum mess. You can remove the muffler and probably see the damage to the piston. It can probably be repaired though. Take it to a reputible shop, then read the owners manual and get some help to learn how to safely use and maintain your investment that you have in this saw.

I'm looking for a owner's manual too. If I find out how to get one i will let you know. mommy9

I have one; please email me and I'll send you a copy of mine.
I'm also having a problem with mine; the top thread keeps breaking. I realize this must be a pretty basic question, but I am quite ignorant of the ways of sewing machines. I'm sewing just thin cotton pieces together for a quilt, Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I don't have your email. Mine is [email protected] send me any info and the Husky165 you can...Thanks....Holly

Usually empty fuel, use hook to pull out line , remove filter. Remove air filter cover and airfilter ,now you should be able to see line. Most just pull of carby and go through tank, some you may have to take screws out of av mounts in back of tank to see hole to put it back in.cheers hope this helps if where a stihl i could tell exactly.

Sounds like a timing problem. To check it put a new needle in the machine, set it to wide zigzag, turn the handwheel while you watch the tip of the hook as it passes behind the needle. The point must pass above the eye of the needle. If this is not the case, you will need professional help.

Remove the 2 round plastic plugs on the front. Use a needle to pry them out. They come off easily. there are two screws under each plug. Good luck...

Set the machine to its longest stitch length, put it in the warmest room in your house and in the sun if possible. If the stitch gets longer when the machine is warm it needs to be cleaned and lubed so that the stitch length mechanism moves freely.

If the lube in the machine is getting old or is nonexistent, the reverse button may be depressed and appear to return to its original position, when released, but the mechanism inside the machine only returns part of the way causing the length to be shorter than normal. Heat often masks this problem allowing the mechanism to move.

If you're encountering a "Presser Foot Too High" error despite the foot being down, check for potential issues. Ensure the machine is threaded correctly, the needle is not bent, and the presser foot is securely attached. Verify if there's any fabric or thread caught in the mechanism. Additionally, consult the machine's manual for troubleshooting steps or contact the manufacturer's customer support. If the problem persists, it might indicate a mechanical issue that requires professional inspection. In some cases, recalibrating the machine or updating its software may resolve the error. Always follow safety guidelines and turn off the machine before attempting any adjustments. click
