I took the same saw to a repair shop a few years ago and they told me that I needed a new carb, $85 bucks later I was good for a while. But I didn't realize that the alcohol in gas will turn to varnish if you don't use it up. I am determined to fix this problem this time, as I also did with my lawn mower twice. Now I buy gas with no alcohol in it. Excellent video, Thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I followed your step-by-step video and solved why my Echo chainsaw wouldn't start. It's now running flawlessly. You, literally, saved me from spending hundreds on a new machine. Your are awesome, my friend!!! Information is POWER!!!
My fairly new Echo CS 490 wouldn't start, or even fire when I shot ether into the carb. I'd about given up when my wife found this video. (I had watched several others, to no avail). I cleaned the carb., and now it starts and runs like a champ. THANK YOU for posting this!
Wow straight forward instructions. You gave me the confidence to open mine up and get it running I have never committed myself to fix a small engine before. Respectfully Sack
It took a bit of searching to find a video that took me where I was trying to get to. Thanks for the help. Speaking from experience, be careful about soaking up too much carb and brake cleaner through your hands.
What a delight to see a smoothly explained theory, tear-down, diagnosis, and rebuild. This is an excellent video beyond just showing how to repair because the instructor is clear to describe what he's doing along with suggestions. Thanks
When you're done playing, replace the diaphragm. It's ALWAYS the diaphragm. Change the diaphragm once a year regardless If you use the saw or not. The part cost less than $1.
@@newt66c33from what I see on other repair videos you specifically don't want it to be clicking in and out. That means it is stiff and needs replaced.
@@newt66c33100% wrong! If it clicks, it’s past toast. Bin it. They should be very soft and supple. As soon as they start to stiffen; they should be replaced.
Thanks for the best most informative video. My 236 runs but won't keep running. The fuel is old but ethanol free. I think the 2stroke that was pre mixed with the petrol has gummed up the carb. I liked the way you didn't skip bits like the throttle rod not being connected. Its an easy mistake that a layman might miss. Thank you
Thanks for the great instructions, the secret is to check same for same diaphragms, some aftermarket ones look the same but some dont have the small holes. Yes I found out the hard way
That right there was my Stihl HS45. I have one that works like a charm, then a newer one that wouldn’t start no matter what I replaced. I succumbed and brought it to a small-engine repair place. He said it was a malformation in one of my gaskets. I’ll let you know if that truly solves the issue. This video is very helpful for process in the event I may need it. Thank you.
Great video, I watched your carb cleaning portion and cleaned my carb, put back together, also cleaned my spark plug, adjusted the spark plug screws and running like a champ again, hadn’t used it in about two years, cut down a tree that was next to the house after finished it
Way to go... and if you don't use it much be sure to drain fuel out of gas tank and run it out of Carb and she should start right up when you are needing to use it. Also doesn't hurt to pour a little 2 cycle oil in the fuel tank and pull the start cord to get a little in the carb to keep it nice while in storage.
My Husqvarna 240 lost spark so I replaced the coil and plug. It still didn't start and started dumping fuel out the exhaust. I installed a new carb, filter and lines and set the H & L screws out 1 1/2 turns. Now I have fuel and spark and it still won't start.
Great video. It revealed many mysteries. It also confirmed my thankfully infrequent response to starting troubles ... take the bloody thing to a good small engine mechanic and let them sort it out. That might have taken you about 30 minutes. It would have taken me a couple of hours and I doubt that I could have put the thing back together again even if I figured out how to take it apart. Cheers mate.
I have a Husqvarna Rancher 455 sitting on storage for about 10 years. I have not tried to start but I´m sure it won´t . I do not have your skills to do this procedure and will have to replace the carburetor (Amazon $27) if it needs maintenance. Thanks for the nice class.
Dump old gas and replace with fresh. Add a little Seafoam engine treatment to the fresh gas+oil, cycle primer bulb 5 times, pull cord 5 times with choke on, then let sit for 24 hrs and soak. Next day try to start again. Fixes itself 8/10 times in my experience if the diaphragm and fuel lines are good with no saw breakdown.
"Helping you online" helped me on line so now I can try something off line. I have exactly the same issue with a Ryobi. If I get it going I'll shout back. Ta ever so!
This video helped me. My chainsaw is the same kind as the one you was working on. Thank you so much. Now my chainsaw is working. More ppl should put videos on every chainsaw to help the ppl that dont have the money to take it to a chainsaw store to have it repaired.
If I may, first see if has fuel and fuel lines are good with filters and then go through all these tips as well to ensure you have good working equipment. Good job...
Brilliant information put across so well, I have same issue, when opening up the carb to check diaphragms one was wet so reckon it was punctured, looking for a replacement right now?
Note i did not finish watching the video. To see what the carbs problem was. But thought id mention a trick everyone can try as soon as one doesn't want to stay running or even doesn't run top notch. My husky did it yesterday. First start of the season was a no go. Readjust and i was off and cutting. My Stihl trimmer does it to me atleast twice a year or more. All you gotta do is run the needles down gently seated and usually the setting is 1 and 1/4 turns out on both high and low needles. It should start then. Then adjust from there. Lots of videos on that. But anywho. It must be trash or varnish builds under the needle and seat and running it in clears it. Its worked more then 30 or.40 times in my life. If you took it to a shop they will tear it down and sell you a rebuild job every time. Um very seldom needed. Not on old stuff anyway. Most of this new stuff you either cant adjust or need a special splined tool for the job. They cant sell you. But i ordered a full set yesterday for my stepfathers polan and lord noes what else. New Junk. Look for needles you can adjust. Or dont buy it. Or you can simple toss the carb and buy a new chinese one for around 15 bucks. Your call. Note echo blower a couple years ago i bought new had no screws. Ran to rich, no power so i returned it i was so mad. I heard from my local shop Most or them came tuned to lean and burnt up. Check your local pawn shops for the older stuff while you can still get it. Then learn to work on it. Tons of videos!
It’s also a good idea to check the spark arrestor to make sure it hasn’t become gummed up. A little mineral spirits and gentle application of heat with a small propane/mapp torch will clean it right up.
thew splined tools avail from wish china 5 bucks the set landed. Another tip is screw idle well in so enigne will run as u tune. ie low jet adjust till it starts responding freely then back idle screw off. especially handy if youve pull jets out for cleaning. i run the carbs thru a small ultrasonic cleaner its amazing the crap petrol leaves behind in the galleries of carbs.
Love your video keep up the good work. I just got a old chainsaw from somebody I'm going to see if I can get this one running. I gave you a thumbs up 👍🐟💯👋👋👋👋👋👋👋😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
My experience also is the stone filters break down & causes the grit you see in the carburetor. Switch to a paper filter & this will prevent the trash in the carb. My number 1 tip to all.
My 142 e - series will start with starting fluid but won't stay running. Cleaned the carb, which didn't look bad. As you've stated, this has to be something easy that I'm overlooking. I haven't removed the fuel hose yet, but there's definitely gas in it. I have air and spark, so it has to be a fuel issue. Thanx for the video.
Be careful not to run it on ether… I just use that as a test. There is no lubrication in the ether which can burn up your piston and cylinder wall. Check that there is no water in your gas and also that your fuel filter is not clogged Let us know what you find out
@@helpinguonline Yes sir, I am aware and I never use ether on 2 strokes but as you said, a test. That at least told me it would start. This saw is also 1 of 2 that someone gave me. I'll keep you posted. Thanx for the response.
It doesn't take much to clog those tiny ports on those carburetors. In the future... if you drain the fuel and run it out of the carb before you store it for a month or longer you will save yourself from having to do this. Thanks for watching
Hi Folks, don't forget to add gas stabilizer when storing your machine, it is often the source of problems. Also use the best gas you can find, you'll be glad you did. Those small engines are fairly simple to fix, just practice preventive mechanical measures and you will avoid most common issues.
I make this same mistake almost every year, I plan on taking it out one last time before the snow falls but never get to it. Come spring I curse myself every time. For years, before I knew this truth, I had to take my saw in for repair every spring. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."
Thank you so much for the video. It is fantastic! I have a chainsaw that's doing the same thing. I will try this and see if that works. It has only run 1 time then stop working! Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks for your feedback. You can do it!... and always remember to empty the fuel out of the tank and run it out of the carburetor if you are not going to use it for a while... will save lots of headaches...
i use the premixed gas and have not had any problem yes more expensive but when you are at the hunting lease hundred miles from everywhere sure is nice to pull 2 times for start
Did you notice about 9:44 when blowing air through the one part of the carburetor and a little black speck suddenly appears on the cloth below almost hidden by the index finger. I wonder if that was a clog and was the problem?
No need to buy a carb or gasket set Very seldom will need to need to replace a gasket Even if you tear one and it’s all still there it will still seal ok I’ve even made gaskets from cardboard boxes when working really old engines Just make sure the keys are cleared all you need is cleaner of any band Acid brush A wire small enought to crear the jet Shop towels to dry the cleaning Fluid
Watching from country (Botswana ) i feel very delighted to watch this video, i just bought brand new chain saw but it worked well actual its 2 months kicking well but now its start and switching its self off its not catching up to a good start...help please i don't know what to do but i got lot of farm jobs i have to do?
It is not clear what your question is. Are you saying that it will start but then when it gets hot it will shut off and then you can’t start it? If that is the case it could be that the ignition coil is bad.
starter fluid is very hard on small engines, no lubrication in ether/starter fluid, I would start with checking for spark and fresh fuel, then going to the fuel line and filter, starter fluid is best used for spud guns.
Btw, I strongly discourage blowing compressed air through ports and holes in the carburetor. There are tiny check valves and diaphragms in there that you’ll destroy if you use an air compressor on them.
Great video.Obviously you are very knowledgeable and an asset to society.Please please use latex gloves when using carcinogens.We need you around for awhile.
One thing you missed was to check and see if the fuel filter inside the tank was intact or letting junk go straight to the carb and plug the needle valve. That may have been the root cause of the plugged carb to start with and it will happen again soon if the fuel filter is missing.
This is a very helpful video. I just bought a used husqvarna 550xp that wont start. Pulled the muffler and the piston and cylinder look good and seems to have good compression. Has excellent spark and new spark plug. I can crank on it till my arm gets tired and pull the spark plug and it's not wet with fuel. I changed the fuel filter and put fresh mixed in it. I'm leery of fooling with that weird autotune carburetor, but I guess I'm gonna have too.
Pressure test the crankshaft seals on the old Macs we use to use max of 10psi threw threaded hole in homemade port blockoff plates look for air leaks at crankcase and seals with dishsoap soapy water. This video should help a lot of people understand the steps to go through keep up the good work you're very good at keeping on point in your video.
Funny I have a home lite xl and a home lite super 2. Got the xL to run first pull yet the super 2 for some reason when you pull it if it does start it runs extremely high rpm smokes out the muffler then kills. After dying it will leak fuel out of the exhaust and sometimes make a slurping sound as if it’s trying to suck the fuel through an extremely small straw w a vacuum. Iv put a little sea foam in there adjusted my carburetor screws of course. Will try it again here shortly
I have HUSQVARNA 365 special.It is relatively new.On the decompression valve and under have little oil and carbon. Anyway,It seems that chainsaw work normal and the compression is good... I don't use decompression valve for starting..Sorry for my bad english.Thanks for your answer...
I took the same saw to a repair shop a few years ago and they told me that I needed a new carb, $85 bucks later I was good for a while.

Just a tip....While you have the carb apart, hold the diaphragm up to a bright light and see if it has a hole or a crack in it.
make sure it clicks too

doesnt have a primer bulb
Purge bulb.....they don't have primers cuz they have a choke.
my 440 does as does the one in video 🤔 the older 300 series didn't. sounds like you know what saw the last commenter has 🤣
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very informative and helpful.

Well done and you have it explained exactly , thanks!
Thanks... Glad it was helpful
not quite Fritz...
Informative now I gonna clean the carburetor
When you spray starting fluid in the carb you need to hold the throttle wide open so the fluid goes to the cylinder
Great Video, have a Rancher 450 that probably has same problem, hasn't been run in a couple years and assume it's all gummed up.

Hi Folks, don't forget to add gas stabilizer when storing your machine, it is often the source of problems. Also use the best gas you can find, you'll be glad you did. Those small engines are fairly simple to fix, just practice preventive mechanical measures and you will avoid most common issues.
Most 2 stroke oils have stabilizers in them already! At least the higher grade ones do
DO NOT store gas in any machine over winter! Run it dry, buy fresh non-ethanol gas when ready to use again-
Totall TRUTH. I’d rather do a little preventative action that not and deal with an issue that didn’t need to become a problem.
I make this same mistake almost every year, I plan on taking it out one last time before the snow falls but never get to it. Come spring I curse myself every time. For years, before I knew this truth, I had to take my saw in for repair every spring. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."
Husqvarna gas has Stabilizer in it by default & can sit for up to 2 years without issue. Cost more but you can relax when stored during winter.
Thank you so much for the video. It is fantastic! I have a chainsaw that's doing the same thing. I will try this and see if that works. It has only run 1 time then stop working! Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks for your feedback.
You can do it!... and always remember to empty the fuel out of the tank and run it out of the carburetor if you are not going to use it for a while... will save lots of headaches...
i have H 240 also. Never use ethanol gas and if it wont start open the gas cap then retighten. This Chainsaw design gets vapor locked easily.
i use the premixed gas and have not had any problem yes more expensive but when you are at the hunting lease hundred miles from everywhere sure is nice to pull 2 times for start
Very good instructional video.

Did you notice about 9:44 when blowing air through the one part of the carburetor and a little black speck suddenly appears on the cloth below almost hidden by the index finger. I wonder if that was a clog and was the problem?
I saw that too!
You should consider buying a carb. They are often cheaper than a rebuild kit. It was the case for my Husqvarna 445e.
No need to buy a carb or gasket set
Very seldom will need to need to replace a gasket
Even if you tear one and it’s all still there it will still seal ok
I’ve even made gaskets from cardboard boxes when working really old engines
Just make sure the keys are cleared all you need is cleaner of any band
Acid brush
A wire small enought to crear the jet
Shop towels to dry the cleaning Fluid
Thanks your information is great, I feel more confident to mess with mine.
You can do it!
I have a makita saw that’s hard to start.same principle applies here. Thanks for the video

Thank you mines had some problem may be the caburator .I wil try to repaired how you did...
Did all the same to my Husqvarna 440. Ended up getting $18 kit on Amazon w/ carb, fuel lines, primer, plug & filter.
Fired right up.

One thing you missed was to check and see if the fuel filter inside the tank was intact or letting junk go straight to the carb and plug the needle valve. That may have been the root cause of the plugged carb to start with and it will happen again soon if the fuel filter is missing.

done with small 2 cycle engines, impossable to clean the carb, just bought a dewalt electric chain saw and love it
You made it. That's great.
This is a very helpful video. I just bought a used husqvarna 550xp that wont start. Pulled the muffler and the piston and cylinder look good and seems to have good compression. Has excellent spark and new spark plug. I can crank on it till my arm gets tired and pull the spark plug and it's not wet with fuel. I changed the fuel filter and put fresh mixed in it. I'm leery of fooling with that weird autotune carburetor, but I guess I'm gonna have too.
Pressure test the crankshaft seals on the old Macs we use to use max of 10psi threw threaded hole in homemade port blockoff plates look for air leaks at crankcase and seals with dishsoap soapy water. This video should help a lot of people understand the steps to go through keep up the good work you're very good at keeping on point in your video.
excellent job sir
thanks
Good job
Thanks
Good video looks like the culprit is clogging of the fuel in the carb
Great job - very helpful - thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Funny I have a home lite xl and a home lite super 2. Got the xL to run first pull yet the super 2 for some reason when you pull it if it does start it runs extremely high rpm smokes out the muffler then kills. After dying it will leak fuel out of the exhaust and sometimes make a slurping sound as if it’s trying to suck the fuel through an extremely small straw w a vacuum. Iv put a little sea foam in there adjusted my carburetor screws of course. Will try it again here shortly
Check to see if you can get the new metal spiral diaphragm for the carb. You will never need another.
Thank you!!!! Thorough instructions! I love it :)
