Husky 41

[HuskyCutter]

I was given a non running husky 41 last year. I was told it had a new ignition coil and carb but still wouldnt run. I got it running but it was rough, chain constantly would run like it had too much throttle. Then it sat all winter and i havent been able to get it running at all now. I replaced the carb, plug, fuel lines, and filter. It is getting spark and fuel but wont fire and every now and then it gets a small backfire. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

Possible sheared fly wheel key putting the spark out of time ?

The chain running thing will either be an air leak, dodgy clutch spring or carb adjusted incorrectly.

The saw will backfire if the key has gone but may just be excessive fuel vapour in the muffler after unsuccessful attempts to start it.

Take a look at the piston by taking the exhaust off, may have a bit of a seize!

There was a few ignition unit changes around the 36/41/136/141/137/142, so my first thought is the timing is out, either wrong part no. fitted or cheap Chinese copy.
