Husqvarna Husky 165 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

skipped stitches is usually an indication of timing of hook and needle being off. The needle is not always picking up the bobbin thread. Suggest that it be serviced by an authorized Husqvarna Viking Dealer. You can find the nearest dealer by click on the "Dealer" link at http://www.husqvarnaviking.com Good luck. Home

Unless it's broke, about the only servicing needed is occasional lubrication. Access to the rotating parts that need the lubrication requires removal of the plastic housing (front and back) of the machine. Try your hand at removing the covers. If you can't get past that, take it in for servicing.

• Place a spool of thread securely on the spool pin.
• Take the thread to a thread guide that is closest to the spool pin but heading for the bobbin and guide the thread into the guide.
• There will be some sort of a guide that may look like a button or disk, that the thread will go under or between to hold tension on the thread before it goes to the bobbin.
• If the bobbin has a hole in the side of it, thread the hole so the tail of thread is on the outside of the bobbin and place the bobbin on the final part of the bobbin winding area.

here's a link for a manual, it should show how to thread a bobbinhttp://sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Viking_Manuals/145_165_Instruction_Manual.htm

Not really. Lots of light, a pair of 4-6 inch tweezers and a pair of magnifying eye glasses should help you. What do you mean the "Thread helper does not work?" Is it that you haven't been able to figure it out yet?

Check bobbin area. Clean feed dogs with brush to remove lint balls & any loose threads. Use gentle back and forth motion on hand wheel to see if you can loosen debris. Be VERY gentle so you don't interfere with timing. Usually you will bring up one thread caught in feed dogs and you can sweep it out. If that's case here, I recommend inserting new needle, flat side back and make sure you raise presser foot before rethreading to open tension discs. Good luck. Jimmy

I am not familiar with this model.

Hi,
According to your problem I suggests to visit
www.husqvarnaviking.com/us/ to download manual. put ur machine model
and get manual. their you will got details of your problem.

Maybe crancase sealings is not so good. i had same problem vith old saw.

Probably need to re-adjust the carburetor jets. They are very small screws in the base of the carburetor. They will be labeled with an "H" and an "L" . Set the low speed first by turning it in slowly until the rpm drops slightly then start turning it outward untill the engine idles smoothly. At that point you can also adjust idle speed. Then you need to be careful here but you need to hold the throttle wide open at the same time adjusting the high speed jet. Turn it in until the rpm drops then slowly turn it out. The rpm will keep increasing. Once you get to a point where it is max'ed out then screw the jet back in one half a turn. Changes in altitude like using your chainsaw in town versus going to the mountains for firewood can sometimes make it necessary to adjust the fuel/air ratio.

check your cords and replug them in on the foot control and on the machine. It may be that the foot control has been damaged and may need replacement, some machine have fuses to protect them which could be a simple replacement of a fuse.

Check the bobbin tension and that the thread is tight around the bobbin. Make sure that the bobbin is in the right way around - the bobbin thread should double back on itself coming out of the bobbin holder.

Do you wan to know where the tension is because you want to change it? I don't reccomend that you change tensions. It is in the same area that the discs are when you thread the machine.

NEVER adjust the bobin tension, you will need to take it to the shop now to get everthing set right again

You should difineatley oil. Call a husky dealer for the the manual

You will have to have a "digitizing" program that will save it in the hus format. The digitizing program is how the stitches are added to the picture to make a sewable design.

This is under the sewing machine category. You might want to resubmit under correct category if this is still an issue.

I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about the replacement dongle. Have you taken your software and dongle into your dealer and had them try installing it on their computer? Or if you have a laptop, take yours in and see if they can help you. It may just be a matter of downloading new dongle drivers. Do a Google search for 3D Dongle drivers - I think Aladdin has the drivers you need. Also you will need to be running XP or Vista 32-bit on your computer for 3D software to work.
