Husqvarna 520iHE3 trigger

[Brushcutter]

Hi

 

I have a Husqvarna 520iHE3 and the trigger is being a little twitchy. When ever you turn it on its side the throttle dies off to a about 50%. Turn it over and it runs fine. Seems to be some wear in the trigger wiggly it and works.

 

anybody else had problems. Is this a new trigger job or a new board?

 

 

cheers

This machine has a variable speed trigger, it makes no real sense that it reduces speed on its side, the biggest problem I have seen on this product is loose connections on the three motor wires, you can access these by removing the top motor cover. If the connectors are loose it is sometimes better to solder them on as a belt and braces job.

Yeah I have the same issue. It’s been doing it for a couple of years now. A guy at the service center said it might be cos I was using the wrong grease. Not the white Husqvarna stuff. But it’s not that. I find it a worry as I can’t afford the machine to stop working. But it’s good to hear yours does the same. Maybe that’s just what they do. I wonder if the newer ones do the same ?
