They replaced the starter with that of a 440e.

Sorry to drag this subject back up but I didn't want to be starting a new thread.

 

My father asked me to have a look at his Husqvarna 435. Same problem as above it seems. I know it had gone through at least 3 recoil mechanism. The latest occasion has seen me ruin 2 new mechanisms.

 

The pawls appear to be rubbing or catching big time on the White plastic part of the recoil mechanism, really tearing lumps out of it.

 

I've looked at the pawls and one in particular seems a little 'bent', the other one seems straighter. Are these supposed to be dead straight or are they designed to be a slightly bent in? I tried straightening it up and the saw ran fine until I tried to start it again, by which time it had gone bent again!

 

Really not liking this saw, has given endless problems since he got it.

I believe the pawls are supposed to be straight up ... according to a Husqvarna dealer. I haven't used this piece of rubbish for two years now since the mechanism broke for the third time. I've since bought a new bigger cheap £70 Chinese saw of Ebay which has been brilliant and reliable and quite frankly makes Husqvarna look embarrassing.

I'll buy (take the) 435 (off your hands) if it's doing nothing now. How much you want for it ?

Eight years later I came across my old post. My Husqvarna 435 has not been used since buying the cheap Chinese Timberpro 62cc 20". In 8 years all I've ever changed is the chain, fuel and oil. The on/off switch is stuck on recently but I just pull the choke to stop it.

 

It cost me £80 iirc, so £10/year isn't bad. They're now around £120.
