Well if it doesn’t get any more controversial than an OIL THREAD, OIL BE DAMNED! 😄😃😁 Hello again folks. Having just been tipped off as to run in the engine on my newest saw, I’m curious as to what the current trend is regarding what BAR OIL is best? Thos who were around when I first joined the site and posted may distantly my nightmare with a new Stihl MS391 which refused to oil the bar. After much back and forth we (Arbtalk and I) managed to square it away to the overly thick Makita branded chain oil I was using. It’s syrupy thickness, challenged only by the likes of Diane Abbot, Angela Raynor and David Lammy, caused a lack of flow to the bar and chain, and was remedied by a flush and refill. (I thin with Oregon oil) Now I need to ask you people what you use currently and how you’ve come to that conclusion, if you will? Many thanks to all who have helped me, past, present and future ! 😁🫡

Howdy Agimos! Just a quick one to rack your brains and harvest your opinions please? I am contemplating adding a small, cheapish saw to my collection, specifically for pruning task, light tree work on my property and to bridge the gap between my ratchet loppers and my smallest other saw, a Makita / Dolmar DCS4301 at 43cc. Initially I fancied an Echo 2511WES for its diminutive size and low weight. Two things put me off slightly, the £400 cost, and reports on this forum of issues with the smoothness of the chain in wood. Setting my sights a little lower, and slashing the budget required in half left me looking at three ‘big name’ entry level beginner saws all under £200, as listed below: Stihl MS162 @ £155.00 Husqvarna 120 II @ £170 Echo CS-310 ES @ £199 and the ‘off brand’ wildcard, in the image of my initial choice, a smaller saw aimed it appears at CS-2511 WES buyers; Mitox 270 CSX @ £199 also. Your thoughts and experience with these saws would be greatly appreciated ladies and gentlemen.

Hello This has me stumped, I have a husqvarna 545 that starts and runs great (starts 1 pull everytime after warm). However, after getting hot (like after cutting down and trimming a pine tree, basically running hard for at least 5 minutes) it will start to instantly die when tilted forward or sometimes even when tilted to either side. It happens instantly when tilted and it still restarts 1 pull instantly afterwards. It happens with fuel and oil tanks full, so it's not the fuel pickup line (and the line is not pinched in the tank, I checked). I tried spraying at various points with a brake cleaner after warming it up at home (but it wasn't hot), at the gasket, side transfer ports, intake boot and even in oil tank, there was no hesitation. Any ideas on what could be the cause? -
The left valve is from the carb I'm working on and is leaking. The valve on the right works perfectly but has slightly bigger drillings but dimension wise it's the same width but slightly shorter. Would it function practically the same as the original? I'm having trouble tracking down a replacement for the original, it's from a AT 1A carb Left valve drilling doesn't go all the way through whereas the right one does, I wouldnt think that would cause any problems but any assistance will be appreciated 👍

T540xp has been recently rebuilt, starts good, does idle but idles better on its side (sometimes dies when straight up) New carb. When throttle is applied it will not spin the chain and bogs down until it dies. Seems to dump fuel. Any help will be appreciated in locating the source of this problem

Hi Gents, This may be a long shot... I have kept my Husqvarna 240 RBD brushcutter alive through thick and thin for over twenty years. Pistons, pot, bearings, ignition module all replaced. It has been an absolute workhorse on tussocky grass and even gorse. Recently however, the flexible channel for the flexible drive shaft somehow became detached from its bracket and seating at the motor end and deformed the plastic portion by which it was held in place. The part number is 503 76 68-01... but it is no longer available. I might be able to figure out a Heath Robinson solution involving wires and jubilee clips but I wonder if anyone can recommend anywhere which might have parts for older Husky kit, or if they might have this part lying around unused? Thanks

Does anyone know the best place to repair a Husqvarna Chainsaw in the South Yorkshire area? It’s been to one place 3 times to no avail and I can’t fix it. Starts and runs perfectly but after 30-minutes use it won’t restart when turned off ; otherwise it would run all day! Love the saw so really need it repaired. Richard - Tree Canopy Climb

Hello, new member and domestic chainsaw user here… I have an old Husqvarna 44 which has recently stopped working. Compression testing shows approx. 90psi - is this considered low or ok? Been advised it may have a scored barrel but I haven’t stripped it down to confirm yet. Can’t seem to find any piston & cylinder kits for this model so wondering if any other models could be used for a straight transplant if the cylinder is jiggered. This is the first mechanical project I’ve looked at so hopeful I can repair it… any advice/guidance would be appreciated!

Husqvarna 246 XPG electrical assembly question. Hello! So I am repairing a Husqvarna 246 XPG. It has heated handles, but the wires were cut. Can somebody help me out with a wiring diagram? I couldnt find any. I repaired the wiring on the handles, they were cut off. Thank you in advance!

I’ve got a Husqvarna 562XP that I’me currently trying to repair for the company I work at, the clutch spider is wearing through side casing very fast , I’ve tried replacing the worm wheel and clutch springs as they were already knackerd and was hoping it would solve the issue but no joy, I’me suspecting bearing failure but hoping it could be something relatively simple…. Any advice would be greatly appreciated many thanks

I've filled up a petrol canister with 5L of petrol and forgot that it was previously used for diesel. There was basically just a film of diesel on the inside and now it's mixed into the petrol, which is what I'm assuming is causing my saw to smoke like crazy?? Will this cause any damage since it's been extremely diluted?

So, the Mrs wrestled the remote off me two weeks ago at the opening ceremony and I thought while the break dancing's* on I'd do some "science". There's a lot on this forum and others about Husqvarna chargers (QC330 especially) failing so here's where we find out for the first time if indeed Husky battery chargers are made of cheese. [Serious voice] If there's a design problem, then Husqvarna should be fixing it**. If you sink the better part of a grand into a chainsaw system, all the parts need to last. If a battery charger turns out to be a "consumable" after a year or two, then 2 stroke's looking like a cheaper option. And it's not fair for UK retailers if they've got to suck up losses from bad (Swedish) Husqvarna designs***. *Seriously, WTF?! **I think there is, I'll post after the poll ***Trustpilot rating of 1.6!!!

Husqvarna Universal Axe A2400 I think its important to explain that i actually preferred wooden axes, hand made, theres something about a quality wooden axe that can’t be described. Unfortunately, wooden axes don’t lend themselves too well to arborist treatment, they’re not designed for hitting wedges, not just hitting wedges but really smacking them in hard, They're not normally designed for splitting knotty arb waste, the strength in the wooden handles varies, some wooden handles have lasted me a year or more, others a week. So i decided to get one of these husqvarna axes, specifically, the A2400 with its composite, fiber re-inforced, 70cm shaft (Plastic to me!) Soft grip areas and heavy head (2400 = 2.4kg) with a non stick coating its proved to be extremely durable with the abuse I've given it - hitting in felling wedges, splitting gnarly wood, in fact, id go as far to say as its the best splitting axe I’ve used! They come with a really good plastic cover for the axe head, should you need it - quite important as its sharp when new, and really holds the edge well. It feels like theres less vibrations passed to your hands when abusing it, although this view isn’t backed up with any facts, but important to consider. Cost wise this series of axe starts at £35rrp for the hatchet up to £65,50rrp for this or the S2800 splitting axe. This is similar pricing to your average wooden handle axe, but long term far cheaper. Pricing is also significantly cheaper than Husqvarnas wooden handled axes. This also makes this professional grade product affordable to the home owner in my opinion. Axes in this Husqvarna Axe series: Universal Hatchet 900B Universal axe A1400 Universal axe A2400 Splitting axe S1600 Splitting axe S2800 I'll be rating this axe at 4/5, Its biggest asset - the plastic shaft, is also loosing it a point, in an age where plastic is starting to become demonised, its important in my opinion that Husqvarna look for a "greener" plastic. -

So, looked and then got a job where a big saw is needed. Have a husqvarna 576xp with a 24" blade and to be fair it always been enough. 48" by the time you go round both sides:thumbup: Any way this time it's not gonna cut the mustard. There are half dozen dead horses chestnut trees to come down. All my ground saws are Husqvarna so I enquired about the395xp but the max bar length is only 28" wtf. The stihl equivalent is the 660 and can come with 36" bar Didn't really want the 3120 seems to be over kill for what I want. Don't get why the 395 can only be brought with a maximum 28" bar? Never used a stihl ground saw except the 260. How does the 660 fair to the big huskies.

Can't help notice lots of positive user reviews for the battery powered Husqvarna T536 Li XP see the specifications here: HUSQVARNA 536 Li XP® - XP® saws ....am I mad to seriously consider this as my first ever chainsaw? We have 16 acres of mixed woodland to manage; and our woods range from scrub ~ to unmanaged coppice ~ to self seeded mini-trees ~ to medium trees ~ to big trees ~ to massive gurt trees. I'm not expecting the Husky T536 LiXP to fell anything massive, and probably nothing much medium size.... My questions are: How much work should I realistically expect this electric chainsaw to cope with?.... What's the maximum fell size? Could I get away with just buying this and a much bigger chainsaw at a later date? -
Hey, new to the forum looking for some advice, i brought my 365 special into a hire shop/husqvarna dealer for a new chain, without asking me he ground out the oregon bar to suit a stihl chain, i wasn't to happy about it but he said its normal he dose it all the time and he has a special disc to do it. Has anyone heard of this? is it ok? Now the engine has sized after not much use since then, He says it over heated from being worked too hard, said the clutch was black and the barrel and piston seized, and wants me to pay for the repairs. It was defiantly not being worked hard and he checked the fuel himself and said the mix was perfect. What do you think?
