Hi there, I got the Husky 240e, with only ~4h of running. my problem is that the chainsaw starts smoothly but when pressing the throttle it is suffocates and turned off. When gently squeezing the throttle it generates speed but once the throttle further squeezed it choke. I checked the air filter which is clean and the clutch (the chain is free running). The chainsaw stand in the garage for about 4 months and worked perfectly before. Can you figure out what happen here? is it fuel filter that might blocked? Thank You

The symptoms indicate lean running, so check the fuel filter for plugging and the fuel lines for decay or other damage. Husky seems be having troubles with our ethanol treated fuel and may require some warranty attention. We have a year old 435 Husky that would not start after about 3 days of excellent running--warranty replaced the carburetor which seems to have us working well now. Good luck!

Chain will not move with engine running. Brake is off
Try loosening the chain adjustment (bar) screw or locate and clear as needed any material found to be caught between the drive sprocket and chain.

I have a 16" 240e chainsaw. After a grand total
There was a number of issues with this machine and oiling, the early machine had no stregthening around the bar bols and the composit bar pad could distort crushing the oil hose ( this was sorted with the later crankcase, here you will see a squre steel block around each bar bolt ) the back of the pump housing was open on the early machine and dirt entered destroying the pump shaft gear, this was sorted with a rubber gasket at the back of the pump, let me know what you find.

Wont start replaced sparkplug and does turn
Just chenk that it is mechanically sound, remove the muffler and check the condition of the piston skirt through the open exhaust port, any signs of scuffing and it will need to come apart to assess the damage.

Huskvarna 240 isnt getting any gas? there is spark
Carefully check the integrity of the gas line in the tank...make SURE the fuel filter is absolutely clean. If that's all OK, maybe you need a carb kit....try not to run ethanol gas if you can...it destorys small carbs on chainsaws.

I have a husky 240e saw and i just rebuilt the carburetor and it will crank up and go dead and i pull it a few more times and it will do the same thing so what should i do now and i have blowed it out...
The 235/240E had major main bearing problems, the bearing cage on the clutch side breaks up and pinches the piston ring in, if the machines has a good spark and clean carb, i would be looking to check the it is mechanically sound, unfortunatley this means a full strip down, let me know if you need more help, i have done very many of these machines.

Its not an idle screw adjustment issue, it is a mixture screw adjustment issue, unfortunatly there is a special tool to adjust the mixture screws, pt no. 530035560 ( available from Hysqvarna dealers ) once you have this tool you can make an adjustment to the L screw on the carb, undo ( anti clock wise ) this screw ten minutes on a clock face ,this will richen the muxture, and should make it more stable on idle.
