Husqvarna 545RX brush cutter starting but not accelerating
spudulike replied to jcampbellsmith's topic in Maintenance help
Convolution.....A mathematical operation on two functions giving rise to a third.....have you swallowed the dictionary or just getting over excited at the TV premier of Downton Abbey tonight!! Happy New Year BTW -
Nice, been a long time since I played anything and the old Grago cartridge had stopped working on both channels, the Shure M75 on one but the Rega R100 was still bang on. I saw a "Built in Britain" on the Linn Sondek and am amazed at the prices they go for. They were always premium but now......wow!!!

The symptoms you give are that the machine will idle OK which means the carb is providing enough fuel for low revs. When you open the throttle, the carb is only giving air and not an increase in fuel so there is an issue with fuel delivery through the carb so...if the machine is pretty new.....ADJUST THE CARB....a bit of anticlockwise on the H screw should do it. If the machine has seen lots of action, pressure check the fuel line, change the fuel filter, check the gauze strainer and pump diaphragm, clean the air filter and adjust the carb afterwards. This should fix it. Much depends on how much use the unit has had. Little use leads to adjustment of the carb. If it is old and well used, the diagnosis slides over to a fuel system overhaul. -

It is the pump diaphragm and those flaps do tend to perforate over years of use. If the machine is low hours, it is unlikely to be this. If it is well used.......... -
Yes, sounded surprisingly good after not being used for 20 years!

Been buggering around with the old HiFi over the last couple of weeks, cleaned the old NAD 3020a amp out, loads of dust in it, cleaned all the pots and switches, sorted a good cartridge out on the Rega Planar3 turntable, new belts for the Aiwa Cassette deck and been fixing up a couple of Marantz CD decks, one was a good going over, the laser had failed in the other...got one on order. Nice to play with the old kit.

Lets hope we get a better one this time...a hotter summer and this covid fecking off would be a good start!
-
Shame it didn't have a pellet in the breech....what a twat!!!

Only other thing worth adding is to check the small gauze strainer in the carb but do the easy stuff ADW mentioned firstly. A new fuel filter and a carb retune may well do the job. -
Don't encourage them...please

I am in North Hertfordshire so around 1-1.5 hrs away from your rough area. PM me with the exact model of 550XP (Mk1 or Mk2) and the 201T (T or TC mtronic). I will give you some rough costs via PM if you want to travel.

Help to identify what species of tree these logs are from?
spudulike replied to Rich05uk's topic in Firewood forum
Burning Cherry on the burner at the moment. Seems light after the Hornbeam we had been burning but is burning well and good heat. -
Just doing kit that is dropped off by the owner/workers now. Most is local but some have traveled to drop off and collect. I have been advising past customers by phone/text on one or two saw issues that have come up that they need help with. Last one was a 395XP with a holed fuel line happening a few years after I ported the saw.
-
Are you sure that isn't Fahrenheit.......1050 Fahrenheit is around 565 degrees Celsius!
-
The throttle rod system is infinitely easier to work on than the T540 throttle cable that needs serious re-engineering! Happy Christmas
-
What is it with Husqvarna and top handles.....everyone knows the MS200T is king........time to retire to the bunker.........discus between yourselves. First on the agenda, which saw picks up best when you give it some throttle after hitting the wood
-
Not really, only did a handful of conversions....5 tops! The MS200t has been the cash cow!
-
They fitted it on the 357XP and it was an abomination!!!!
-
Don't go there on the "auto decomp"
-
Ah, good, glad to hear it, always happy when a repair has good longevity and pays for itself many times over.
-
Is your 395 still running? Been a long time since I put it back together again, must be 8 years ago.
-
Look.....it is a DELL....not a DEL.......flippin heck.....didn't you lash out on the spell check??? I should know, visited the Limerick factory a number of times and saw it stripped out and closed.....not a good one as it decimated the local job situation.
-
Would have thought he would have noticed when fitting the muffler!! But there you go...maybe not.

Try turning the L screw anti clockwise 1/2 turn. It may help. Does the saw feel like it has lots of compression when you pull it over slowly or can it be pulled over easily? When you start it on the fast idle setting, does the saw rev like bonkers or is it a bit slow or normal?
-
What does "With full revs on" mean? The choke lever has a middle position between full choke and idle which is a partial choke and fast idle setting for starting when the saw is hot but guess you know that. Hot running issues can be typically lack of compression or the carb needing a going over and the L screw resetting - it may be a bit lean. Other than that, the coil to flywheel gap being too large and dodgy HT cable/plug can also give issues but less likely. The split breather will have zero to do with it. Checking the piston condition and compression especially when warm is a good call - less than 150 is getting poor. 038 milling.....really
