20 Most Recent Husqvarna Chain Saw 20" Bar - Page 8 Questions & Answers

there most be a screw by the chain barrel loose it up and the the chain will get loose,before that take the cover out

The brake was engaged when removed. The Illustrated Parts List (IPL) here shows how the majority of components fit together. The brake needs to be released to clear the clutch drum.
Secure the clutch cover (it requires quite a bit of force), with a couple of blocks of wood, in a large vise or a C-clamp on a work surface.


Use a pair of pliers or a crescent and rotate the spoked part CW until it latches. This one is latched.

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

Thank You for using FixYa.

the centrifugal clutch on the saw has probably most failed or is right out of adjustment. best to look that this is engaging properly first

This is quite an old saw, so i would be changing the fuel filter in the tank, and also the fuel hose.

There was never a 16" bar, there is a 15" that will fit, in either 3/8 or .325 pitch, in the UK we ran .325, but in the US they may have been on 3/8, both are available, let me know if you need part no.s

Hi axemanal,

I did a google search for - Husqvarna 335XPT, "used crankcase"

and came up with serveral sites, such as ebay, trade me and the following: http://store.chainsawr.com/collections/Husqvarna?page=31

You can try this one. It advertises used Husqvarna parts. If they don't have anything for you, try the google search as above.
Good luck!

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,

Hi, assuming you have put fresh two stroke mix in the saw, it will need to have a carby diaphragm kit fitted. It's not hard to do yourself as long as you fit the new diaphragms and gasket in the exact same positions as the old ones. The reason for your problem is that the old diaphragms go hard and no longer flex due to stale fuel being left in the carby. You may also want to replace the fuel filter in the tank. Regards Phil.

The E version is tooless, so flip out the wing in the centre of the big cover fixing nut,slacken the nut off half a turn, now turn the knurled adjuster in the side cover, down to tighten, up to slacken, there are many schools of thought about the correct tention of the chain, but basically the chain should sit snuggly all round the guide bar, and with a gloved hand pull manually around the bar with out too much force, it should never sag on the bottom of the guide bar.

Hi,

You can find your model number at the same spot that the serial number and brand name are. You have to know the model to get parts.

Here are a couple of sites I like to order parts from for mine.

there is a special tool to remove the clutch properly with out damage to the clutch or springs.it is so much easier to take it in some where and have the proper tool used.the tool is $45.00 to $65.00 to buy one.most dealer will only charge you a couple of bucks to remove it and install one for you,it only take a second to do.I,myself have made a couple of differant ones because chainsaw differ so much.let me know and maybe i can get you a picture of the one you need

Before replacing the ignition unit, disconnect the earth cut out wire fron the unit, this will rule out a fault with the switch and the wiring, check the air gap between the unit and the flywheel this should be 0.3mm, if still no spark unfortunatley it will require a new unit.

make sure you clean your bar while chain is off..take a feeler gauge like .040 or so the bigger the better and slide it through the grove in the bar all the way around and pull all the crud out then make sure your oil holes in bar are cleaned out so oil will run through the holes into the groove in bar, also if you have an end sprocket in bar make sure it spins freely with chain off,could of been pinched one time or another along with bar, thats why you use a feeler gage to check out bar for being pinched while you are cleaning it out. good luck

The only difference left is in quality and the number of cutters. Stihl has a prestretched chain and better tempered metal.
Good luck!

Hello,
Remove the chain plate, Clean it , check oil drain and check oil tank cap is air inlket free.

check air leaks between cilinder and carburator, if its ok- fine, check rebuid carburator.

If staying after acceleration, is some air leak from cranshaft sealing. if just staying than check air leks from between cilinder and carburator.

Go to manualsonline.com You can look a user manual on there that will tell you.

It uses a vacuum style suction method to pull oil from the reservoir to the chain bar. There is about a 3 inch piece of small black hose that gets pinched or broken and stops the oil flow. Most of time you can replace the hose without too much difficulty if you have a pair of long nose needle nose pliers. You can get the hose at your Husqvarna dealer or a hardware store that does small engine repair.
