Husqvarna Saw Stalls At Idle

Candle problem

Checking the performance of the candle must begin with a visual inspection. The candle must be dry and clean. If the saw stalls, chances are the candle has been flooded. This happens with improper cold start attempts, especially with inexperienced saw owners. In this case, you need to try either installing a new candle, or drying the old one.

A carbonized candle can signal both the quality of the mixture and malfunctions in the operation of the carburetor: the reason is hidden either in the overflow of fuel or in the supply of oil to gasoline.

Another breakdown can be associated with the ignition unit: when there is no spark. As a rule, in this case, the candle itself remains clean, there is contact between it and the high-voltage wire. The ignition block is usually not repaired, but completely replaced.

Why the chainsaw stalls at idle

Malfunction of the cylinder-piston group

As a result of scuffing on the piston walls, the considered speed problem may arise. Seizures can usually be found on the muffler side. As a rule, this breakdown is solved by replacing the CPG, the cost of which can be comparable to the price of the saw itself.

Replacement of hoses, oil seals, gaskets is required

Any plastic and rubber elements deteriorate over time. If the saw works on XX, and when you try to increase the speed either does not gain them, or does it very weakly (well, or stalls), you need to check the hoses and seals for integrity. Hose problems are usually detected simply by inspection, but the loss of tightness of the seals can be found out in most cases only by supplying air under pressure.

A shim problem is usually found immediately or shortly after a saw is repaired. If you or someone has recently disassembled the unit, after which the described problems arose for no apparent reason, you need to check the quality and correct installation of the gaskets.

Why does a chainsaw stall when gas is applied

We recommend identifying the reasons in the following order:

• Check the spark plug. If necessary: ​​dry, clean off carbon deposits, check clearance.
• Check spark.
• Check the cleanliness of the filters.
• Inspect fuel hoses and seals for air leaks.
• Change the fuel mixture in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Inspect the muffler for carbon deposits.
• Check carburetor settings, clean if necessary.
• Check for seizures on the CPG.

Remember: the operation of the chainsaw must be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. Most of the problems that cause the chainsaw to stall when gas is added are related to violations of the rules set out in the instructions.

What to do if the chainsaw stalls when you press the gas

One of the most common questions regarding the operation of this device: why does the chainsaw stall when you press the gas and what should be done to solve this problem? In such a situation, you need to do the following:

• Check the fuel filter;
• Inspect the fuel hoses for tightness;
• Check the muffler;
• Try to speed up a little;
• Check the condition of the rubber seals on the crankshaft.

Why does a chainsaw stall when heated

It often happens that the chainsaw starts up cold, but stalls during the heating process. This behavior of the tool can be caused by the following reasons:

• The carburetor is incorrectly set. This problem can be identified by how the device is started up on a cold one. If it is performed without closing the air damper, and the engine starts without a preliminary flash, this means that after heating the engine, the fuel fills the candle. The solution to this problem is to adjust the carburetor. Details on carburetor adjustment
• Coil (ignition module) malfunction. You can identify this problem by sequentially checking the spark, first on a cold and then on a hot motor. If there is no spark on a hot engine, then the ignition coil must be replaced.
• Defective spark plug. In this situation, as in the case of a malfunction of the ignition module, the spark disappears when the engine heats up. It is necessary to replace the spark plug with a new one, and if this does not lead to a solution to the problem, then the ignition module and the distance between it and the flywheel should be checked.

What to do if the chainsaw stalls when you press the gas

One of the most common questions regarding the operation of this device: why does the chainsaw stall when you press the gas and what should be done to solve this problem? In such a situation, you need to do the following:

• Check the fuel filter;
• Inspect the fuel hoses for tightness;
• Check the muffler;
• Try to speed up a little;
• Check the condition of the rubber seals on the crankshaft.

The chainsaw starts and stalls. the reason

If the chainsaw starts and stalls the first time you try to do the job, then the reason may be problems with the chain brake or its jamming due to lack of lubrication. In this case, the oil level is measured. If the amount of lubricant is sufficient, then the cause may be in the tube that leads it to the lubricating mechanism.

Another reason may be a broken carburetor. If he only needs adjustment, it can be done independently in accordance with the instructions. If the carburetor needs cleaning or repair, then you cannot do without the help of professionals.

Another possible cause of this malfunction is a low fuel level in the tank. In this case, the saw stalls when tilted, because the remaining fuel mixture ends up in the part of the tank opposite to the place where the suction tube is located.

Why does a chainsaw stall under load

Sometimes the saw will not function properly under load. This is most often caused by improper adjustment or leaking carburetor. In addition, air leaks through the carburetor gasket or crankshaft oil seals may be the cause of this problem. A tool that is unable to function under load also cannot maintain idle speed reliably.

Diagnostics begins with checking the carburetor and crankcase for leaks. If air leaks through the crankshaft oil seals, they must be replaced. If air leaks in the carburetor are detected, a repair kit of gaskets is required to solve the problem.

If these actions did not lead to the desired result and the crankcase of the engine with the carburetor is tight, then you need to adjust the carburetor.

If a Husqvarna chainsaw stalls under load, then in case of any deviations in the functioning of the engine, you should first of all check the impulse hose, since this is the most common cause of breakdown of this brand of chainsaws.

Checking the main systems of the chainsaw

If the chainsaw refuses to work properly, you need to make sure that all the conditions required for its normal operation are provided:

• Fuel;
• Spark;
• Grease;
• Air.

Then it is necessary to sequentially check the functioning of all its elements. First you need to check the fuel tank. If the cause is not volume and quality of fuel, spark plugs are likely to be the cause. The gap at the candle should not exceed 0.5 millimeters. If it is too small, it means that carbon deposits have been deposited on the candles. In this case, remove the candles, clean them, then reinstall and try to start the chainsaw. In addition, it is advisable from time to time to completely replace the candles with new ones, even if they are in good condition.

Then you need to check the condition of the fuel filter and carburetor. Self-cleaning of the fuel filter is a simple task, but it is best to entrust the repair of the carburetor to specialists.

The main causes of chainsaw breakdown

Although the chain saw is a simple device, from time to time, problems arise in its operation, which can only be fixed by disassembly. The following malfunctions can be cited as examples:

• The chainsaw is not picking up speed;
• The chainsaw stops working in the cut;
• The chainsaw starts and stalls;
• The chainsaw loses its power;
• Chainsaw stalls when pressed.

Most often, malfunctions are associated with interruptions in the functioning of the motor, as well as malfunctions of other systems and components. Proper handling of this technique is essential. When all the rules of use are followed, problems with a high probability lie in the most obvious. When looking for the causes of problems, it is advisable to start by checking the simplest part of the chain saw and finish the most difficult.
