Is this machine mechanically sound, remove the muffler and take a look at the piston through the open exhaust port, any signs of scuffinf or damage to the piston skirt and the saw will have to come apart for further investigation.

    The cylinder looks good but did not look at the piston. Don't know why I overlooked that. Do you know if this saw has reeds? I'm thinking it started to seze. This is my first husky tare down. Whats the deal with the 2 intakes? One looks like just an air intake and the other has the carb attached. the air one has a butterfly attached to the throttle. Don't have it apart far enough to see in the carb. Thanks

    The saw does not have a reed block, the two additional ports are air ports for the X torque, basically on a standard two stroke engine an amount of unburnt charge escapes through the exhaust port whilst pushing out the exhaust charge, on an X torque engine you take fresh air in through the two air ports, this is fed around the sides of the piston via cut a ways, and fed down the top of the transfere ports ( they are much longer than a standard engine ) now when the fresh charge is compressed in the crankcase, and forced up the transfere port all that initially comes out is the fresh air that was fed in through the top, this means no fresh charge is allowed out through the exhaust port so lower emmisions, and more oxegen is in the clylinder so there is a bigger bag creating more power/torque, it is a very simple design which works really well, the only negative side is the inlet side of the piston runs very cool so there can be issues with ring gumming.

I have a husqvarna 450 that won't stay running and has oil coming out the excaust

It sounds well flooded, remove the spark plug, with the kill switch to off, crank the engine five or six times to evacuate any excess fuel in the cylinder, leave the machine for an hour or so, re fit the plug and attempt starting with no choke.

Hi i have a husqvarna 450,any time i cut the chain seems to expand and gets too lose on the bar, i had the tension tightened to the last and the chain was still to lose, o and the chain is the right size...

Can be the chain tensor or the chain itself that is streched.Also make sure the bolt and groove are ok.

If you need more help post back!

Husqvarna 240 want start at all

Sounds like the ignition module or spark plug. The ignition module is what controls the spark plug that gives your saw the firing capabilities. Before you purchase one of those, replace the spark plug and see if that works. The 240 is a newer husqvarna; so I am skeptical to say it is the ignition module. However, any new product can have a bad part on it.

Your saw may have gotten flooded and won't start. Make sure your gas mixture is 50/50 gas to mixing oil. Always use fresh gas. If you make up gas and don't use a whole gallon at a time, put some fuel stabilizer in the mixture; so it will still be fresh the next time you use it.

After a few months in storage, my saw will start, but the chain seems stuck - I can['t move it with my fingers, and when I gas up the engine, the chain doesn't move & the engine stalls. There's no...

Release the chain tension adjuster and push the bar inward to make sure it moves. This is an auto-set tension adjustment and should set itself so that the chain can be be moved by hand. The chain oil on the bar may have gelled enough to prevent chain movement. A spray of WD-40 around the chain perrimeter would probably loosen the chain as well. Hope this helps!

Chainsaw ran out of gas. Filled tank will not start now. Husqvarna 450 e=series 18"

Those saws are very finicky. First shake the saw very vigorously, as the saw running dry mayy have sucked dirt to the intake screen. Clean the plug and check gap. Prime, choke and pull till it starts. your plug may be foulled, this happens alot when a saw leans out from running out of fuel.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

Starting after useing

Remove the spark plug, attach the wire and lay the shell on engine metal. Pull through--any spark? If nothing, take the machine back to the dealer for warranty service or exchange. You seem to have followed all the procedures necessary. Hope this helps!
