I've had this same problem with my Husky. For me it was the connection between the machine and the foot pedal. The plug wasn't sitting properly in the socket. Try holding the plug securely in the socket when pushing the foot pedal. Gently wiggle the plug to see if there is a spot where it will work. I ended up wrapping one layer of electrical tape around the plug, and haven't had that issue since. It could also be the foot pedal itself. If you have another foot pedal with the same plug, try it too. I hope this helps, good luck, have a great day.

No, Sounds like the loopers are not passing properly to pick up the thread, from off the needles.
SOURCE: Won't form a chain stitch
You 910 serger doesn't have the option for a Chain Stitch. It is a 2, 3, or 4 thread serger. You can do a good number of different stitches but a chain stich is not one of them.
If what you mean it that it won't "chain off", meaning sew with no fabric beneath the foot as you gently pull the thread towards the rear of the machine, that could be for a number of different reasons. First, change the needles and unthread the machine and start over. If the threads are not exactly where they should be, your serger won't sew correctly. A great video on threading your machine can be seen at:http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/mediafiles/huskylock/index_en.html
SOURCE: hand wheel is hard to turn
If you take out the bobbin case and slide off the needle pate, you can inspect the bottom area for a thread jam. The black post that the bobbin case slides onto is called the thread hook. It should have a loose feel to it when you gently move it around, it should not have a "solid feel".
Another area that sometimes wraps the thread is the take up lever area.
(the lever that moves really fast up and down as the machine is sewing)
If the lever has been pushed to the left, it's possible the thread has wrapped up in that area.
If those two areas are o.k. you'll need to take it in for service.
SOURCE: My Evolve serger is skipping stitches while using
First, change the needles making sure to use the el705 needle system. Second, make sure the subsidiary looper is engaged properly (plugging up the upper looper hole). Also make sure the needles are all the way up in the machine. This should do it or it may need to be adjusted but the Evolve is a very, very reliable machine. Hope this helps...
Testimonial: "Thanks I am going to try this as soon as I can, but right now occupied with a job with my industrial machine. My only issue may be with the needle."
is it possible that the needles are in backwards?
it's very possible that the machine is out of time & would have to be taken to a sewing machine repair shop to be retimed
