husqvarna 240e running very high revs

[adw]

The hand guard changed where it fits into the chain brake, it was made to fit deeper to avoid diss engagment, it now means you have to change the brake if you have the early one.

they are both 2008 models

ADW do you know what the carb factory settings are for the 240e ?

or as a rule do screw them all the wat in then back them off 1 and a half turns ?

 

thanks again everybody for your help i aprechate it massively

[adw]

One and half turns on each is a good starting point, you will need to fine tune from there, always start with the low jet first.

Hope you had a good look at those bearing cages before rebuilding, they are very prone to dropping a small section of the cage, if you rebuilt the engine with the old bearings and carriers they will name have shaped themselves to the cylinder and crankcase due to force exerted on them when tightening the cylinder down, it can be tricky to regain a seal now if the bearing does not go back exactly the same as it came out. Good luck, but would have changed them.

[chrisbrooks]

Sorry forgot to mention in pervious post that i have replaced both bearings and seals on the crankshaft

I have one of the saws all back together but it will not start i have got a good spark and compression is about 150psi after 5 pulls of the pull cord but there is a very strong smell of petrol after the 5 pulls i also have the choke out at the same time but still a non starter ? Confused
