Try changing the air filter first as a dirty filter will cause an engine to flood and hard to start. Do this before you start tearing anything apart.

SOURCE: 353 husqvarna chainsaw, floods during start process

Husqvarna says the initial carburetor needle valve settings are from lightly seated 1 turn CCW for both H & L.

Your Operator's Manual can be downloaded here:

Once flooded Huskys are very hard to start. This works well on my 359.
Start Procedure
Cold:

  1. Ignition on/off to on
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  3. Pull (close - sets fast idle) pull starter and listen for an attempt to start. once heard (usually two pulls)
  4. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  5. Push (open) choke pull starter until it starts. (usually the next pull)
Warm:
  1. Ignition on/off to on
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  3. Pull (close - sets fast idle) choke, - Don’t pull with choke closed.
  4. Push (open - fast idle maintained) choke, pull starter until it starts. (usually first pull)
Hope this helps

Who connected these hoses? the normal routing for a machine with a primer is like this, the fuel hose from the tank with the filter on the end goes to the carb fuel inlet nozzel ( not to the primer ) nearest to the pump cover ( cover on carb held with one screw ) the pipe from the metering side of the carb connects to the shorter nozzel on the primer bulb ( suction side ), the longer nozzel on the primer ( pressure side ) connects to the pipe going back to the tank, just remember the primer pulls fuel from the carb,into the bulb, and pushes it back into the tank, it is not actually a primer it is a purge. because it is connected this way it is impossible to flood the engine no matter how many times the bulb is pressed.
Let me know if it starts and runs.

SOURCE: 3 month old Husqvarna 235.

These machines have had issues with main bearing cages breaking up, this it turn scores the piston and snags the ring in, if there is a good spark and the plug is getting wet i woud whip the muffler off and take a look at the piston through the exhaust port.

Testimonial: "Took to dealer. in five minutes they showed me the piston through the exhaust port. PISTON SCORED. Blamed thing hasn't been used 20/30 hours. Thanks."

I replaced the fuel lines in a Husqvarna 235 chainsaw. It's starting but cutting off immediately. Will a return fuel line (from primer ball to tank) that is bigger in diameter prevent it from running?

No, check that the two fuel lines are not switched and fuel purge is working.

Easy way to test; Identify which line has the filter and disconnect the other (fuel return) at the carburetor. Then press purge bulb several times. Fuel should spurt out the fuel return port at the carb.

If no fuel spurt, move fuel line (with filter) to the other carb fuel port and repeat test. If still no fuel then purge is not working... either fuel not delivered from tank or carburetor is blocked or bad diaphragm or other.

I have a husqvarna 440 chainsaw I installed a new carb on it and.now I can't get the primer bulb to prime gas what gives?

https://www.partstree.com/models/440-e-husqvarna-chainsaw-2008-05/

The link shows components of the saw.

Three fuel lines...

1. Fuel tank dip tube (fuel filter) to siphon side of primer bulb


2. Primer output to carb in.


3. Fuel return to tank.


Likely you have reversed the primed bulb lines.
Disconnect the line from the primer bulb to the carb. If you have the correct connection from the tank to the primer bulb, fuel will spurt out the bulb as you press the bulb

If no fuel, move the line at the primer bulb to the other primer connection. Press primer bulb a few times and fuel should spurt out bulb.

If still no fuel then a problem with the fuel tank dip tube or plugged filter

HAVE WALBRO CARB WT324 WHEN PRIMING FLOODS THE CARB NO FUEL EXITS THE FUEL VENT HOSE ANY HELP

There are two connections on the carb, one is connected to the suction side of the primer bulb, the other to the fuel pick up pipe in the tank, the idea is the primer pulls fuel from the carb, into the bulb and back into the tank, if the pipes to and from the primer are fitted round the wrong way it will try to push fuel into the carb and make it flood, so check the suction side of the primer is connected to the carb, and the tressure side is back to the tank.

PowerMac by McCulloch PM425AV-18 38cc. I have replaced the line from the fuel mixture tank to the primer bulb & replaced the primer bulb. Now the chainsaw won't keep or looses the prime. Now...

Are you sure you have conected the pipes the correct way round, the fuel hose from the tank with the filter on the end goes to the main fuel inlet on the carb, nearest to the alloy pump cover, the other conection off the carb goes to the shorter conection on the back of the primer, the longer pipe on the primer goes back to the tank, just remember the primer pulls fuel from the carb, into the bulb, and back to the tank.

I seem to be finding the start up of the chain saw a problem. I have a 235 husqa. I have followed the start up sequence and blow me if I keep on failing. Help

From cold, press the primer as many times as it takes to 3/4 fill the bulb, pull the cheoke fully out, crank the engine twice, push the choke fully back in, crank the saw until it fires up, the sequence decal on the cover is not in my opinion correct

I replaced the primmer bulb now it won't start fouls out plug after 1 try.

It is very importent to assemble the hoses round the right way, there are two conections on the back of the primer, one long one short, the short conection ( suction ) should conect to the carb, the long conection ( pressure ) goes back to the tank, if you have them the wrong way round it will just flood the engine.
