JC1234

So guys, had my Husqy 236 for a while now and it’s alright but recently been given permission to cut some trees down that the 236 just isn’t gonna handle so I need something with a bit more grunt. Suggestions welcome but personally prefer Husqy’s but will consider others. Second hand or new. 

Yes!! Thankyou!! 

What’s the guy called on this forum who sells chainsaws on eBay, think he’s based in Wales and sells them second hand/ex demo! TIA guys! 

My father is a man of habit, his Husqvarna 254xp has just died and he is desperate for another as he insists that he dislikes the modern equivalent, apart from eBay is there anywhere else I can try and source him one? Thanks guys

Is the brake stopping it spinning or does putting it on stall the saw ? It will if it's a sticky clutch or the springs are broken

The brake stops it but it doesn't stall it just ticks over. It's back to the dealer for it I think!

Best to ..leave it untouched.. and take it back is still my advice .

Advice duly noted!

If you are not familiar with saws then leave it and take it back to the place you bought it. I should point out..... A dealer will want a saw back "untouched " to put something right . 

It's completely untouched! Haven't even opened the casing to look inside. My dad knows about saws but said "I've never seen this issue before" which is concerning lol

clutch?  is it revving up?

 

Yes it revs up, chain spins as it should, take the throttle off and the chain keeps going and eventually stops. But if you leave it it'll spin up again without even touching the throttle

Hi folks, new member here. Just bought a 236 from a local dealer second hand as a cheap saw for logging up smaller stuff in the back garden. I've immediately come across a problem. The chain spins like it's on half throttle even if I've let go of the trigger. As the dealer is shut until Tuesday I thought I'd try here and just see if anyone has any ideas why this is happening? 

Cheers guys!
