Husqvarna t540 ixp chain creep

[Shaunpaul]

Hi, my battery Husqvarna has just started playing up. When the trigger is released the chain/motor stops for second then very slowly begins to creep around. If you apply and then release the chain brake it stops. The cycle then repeats at every trigger press.

any ideas?

I have never seen or heard this, my initial response is back to a dealer and plugged into CST and firmware update.

I've not seen this either. Definitely take it to your local dealer and get it looked at

Just thinking alound but would dust etc under the trigger switch cause this at all, i.e. acting like the trigger is pressed ever so slightly?

As ADW said, part of the CST check is the throttle solenoid position at full speed and idle on both Battery and Petrol equipment. Any dealer or outfit with access to CST will be able to do this check relatively easily and advise.

I would agree that the throttle may be holding itself open with an ingress of chip or piece of bark etc. You could check this out beforehand if able.

So, turns out the little flat spring that activates the switch had somehow gone the wrong side of the trigger (marked in red), so wasn’t switching off completely. At least it’s something and nothing. Learn something everyday 😎

Glad it worked out OK. Possibly wasn't positioned correctly last time it was apart.
