Husqvarva 353 starting problems

[Stubby]

Have the same saw but start slightly differently. My saw is also quite often not used for a few months. Pull out decompression button. Pull out choke fully. Pull once or twice and it normally fires and stops. Push in choke half way. Pull and hopefully start and push choke fully in after about 10 secs. Make sure the spark plug is clean or replace if you have problems starting.

I'm not a professional arborist but never had a problem with this saw in 3 years now.

Hope this helps.

 

Just to be clear you pull OUT the de comp because you find it starts better without the benefit of it . This seems to be the best way of starting some of the new Xtorque saws as well .
