  1. Actually a full reset to default settings can only be done with the factory software and interface. What we are describing is the AT unit resetting itself from where it was left to the state of the engine now. What I mean is that if the air filter is stuffed, the AT will set itself to run lean. When the filter is cleaned, the AT will take a few minutes to see the engine is now lean and will reset itself richer when it is cutting under load for minutes. There is no Stihl like action (running on choke) to go back to default on Huskies!
  2. Of course in wood and you can usually hear the AT reset if major work has been done. It just takes minutes to reset and the AT will continue to monitor and reset if and when required through normal use.
  3. That's not including UK VAT and the Royal Mails handling fee.....been there before! Best purchase through the global shipping where all tax is paid upfront so there is nothing owing our side!
  4. When was the last time the saw had its air filter cleaned......to clarify, "cleaned " means removed, split in two parts, a fluid such as white spirit, WD40 or carb cleaner applied and the air filter body and mesh given a good blast. Cleaning doesn't mean a wash under tepid water and left to dry! The Husqvarna reset is to run the saw continuously for around 5 mins flat out. If your saw has been used for normal cross cutting flat out and under load, it shouldn't need resetting. If you have been carving, snedding or any cutting that allows the saw to bounce off the limiter then it will need a reset.
  5. Who knows....global shipping is the best way but not all sellers offer it!
  6. And Lord knows what they will be with these Brexit changes going on!
  7. It is 50cc and think that there was a US version without a decomp hole. It will work fine without it, bit more stress on the starter pulley but not an issue! ADW will know all the details!!
  8. My order is OEM, Meteor and then Hyway. Hyway kit tends to be fairly well made compared to some of the other kit out there. Be careful to ensure the base is completely sealed when using these big bore kits as there isn't much of a base left once the bore has been enlarged.
  9. That kills the idle with too much fuel floating around but the saw will still rev out as it should, and is rare!!
  10. Steel rusts very quickly, my discs go rusty overnight so wouldn't put much on that. Found the end of one of my springs next to the car a couple of years ago. As you say, fun job with the compressors!
  11. I've had a couple of springs go and generally it is a fracture rather than rust that causes them to go, that and the numerous potholes/sleeping bloody policemen!! Nice little job for the weekend!!
  12. That shouldn't cause issues as long as it is only 4 degrees.......in the correct direction i.e. advanced and not retarded!
  13. Gauze strainer in the carb, possibly the saw has a small seize, if the top end or carb are aftermarket......😢 the carb may need a bit more on the L screw, if the carb is an accelerator pump one then it may need a new one as this sounds like it isn't pumping the fuel in as it should. replace the fuel filter and blow the air filter through with fluid and air. If all this fails, check the impulse line hasn't come off as it is common. When was it last serviced.........don't bother answering that one as it is always when it broke last!!!!!
  14. Have you reconnected the impulse line? that can cause a high idle speed.
  15. It should be fairly obvious if the throttle is being held open - just gain access to the carb where the throttle cable connects and try to push the throttle closed and see if the revs come down. I am guessing the idle has been turned down? If the throttle is closed, the idle has been turned down and the saw still revs high, it most likely has an air leak. Bear in mind you have given us little history of the saw, its servicing, issues etc.
  16. Watts=Volts x Amps but electric motors do use much more current getting them spinning up from start up so switches and fuses have to be rated at higher than the nominal power draw of the motor when running. I doubt that this beast of a chainsaw will draw more than a domestic pressure washer etc.
  17. If it was pushing out that much particulate, it would be all over your room on shelves, TV, furniture etc The door on a stove will smoke if you open it sharply, the solution, as others have said is to open the door slowly and if that worried, open the damper before opening the door. Probably the latest results from the think tanks! They will probably be taxing them next.
  18. How many degrees did you advance it?
  19. If the decomp valve comes through the top cover rather than being on the SIDE of the cylinder, it is most likely OK and original as I have only ever seen the earlier model copied.
  20. Mmm, hope it isn't one of those dodgy Chinese copies!!
  21. And if they are air powered, you get your workshop to sound like a F1 pit-stop!
  22. It makes a lot of sense, low weight, decent power, rated by many. My go to is the 346XP but they are hard to find and heavier although light compared to a 266!
  23. Just file down the actual burr, it will be OK, seen it before, not a big issue!
