Just like the title says, we will be looking at the Husqvarna 435 chainsaw and performing a full tune up. Maybe you know all the steps and maybe you will discover some you weren't aware of. #smallenginerepair
What's the difference between the 435 and the 440? The 435 is listed at 2.2HP and the 440 at 2.4HP. The owners manual says they have the same bore and stroke the same carb on both of them. Yet one has .2 HP more? They are even listed as the same weight. The only difference I can see listed in any official place is the 435 has a 16 inch bar and the 440 an 18. Is it the timing or something? are they both 2.2 or 2.4 and it's a marketing thing?
I think the cylinder is a different part number. That might be where they got all that extra power 🙂The 435 is offered as a 16". Sometimes I think they create models just to compete directly with other brands models. They sure have a lot of choices in the line up.
I’ve Actually Had Palm Tree Hair All Caught In The Oiler Gear Under The Clutch Drum and Worked It’s Way Into The Crank Seal and Cause a Wont Stay Running Situation And Have Had to Replace The Seal Too Fix it If It’s Caught Before A Lean Seizure of The Piston In Florida Palm Trees Are Everywhere 😩🤕😬
I got a new one of these and it doesn’t seem to start that well or idle well until it’s warmed up. Assume the carb screws need to be adjusted? Is there a factory setting to start at?
Base settings for that saw should be 2 turns out for the hi speed with a max rpm of 12,500-13,000 with bar and chain. Start 2.5 turns out for the low. If it doesn't idle well until its warm there is a fair chance you need to back out the low speed screw a bit.
Yeah. That chain break. A year ago one of the 435's came back at the end of the day with the chain bar cover off...oh yeah, and a broken...pull drum? I think that's what its called. I could not figure out why that cover would not go back on...until..pwfff. The brake is on and to switch that back, gota take the brake lever off the saw. I figured that out recently. (last weak) That saw became a parts saw for a year and that was a mistake. A few months ago the other 435 comes back at the end of the day with the pull cord hanging out. Same person broke another pull drum. Don't have a spare...it broke last year...I ordered 6 because I thought, maybe these tend to break. So while I'm waiting I have a moment to work on this saw and I go to start it with a drill.... and it spins and spins and nothing. No spark. Bad ignition coil. Okay. I have a spare on the other 435. Put that on and spin that drill and spin that drill and no spark.⏳🤔...💡 Yup. And that is why the broken pull drums. That phuhq'n short to ground "off switch" technique. I'm telling you that can not be a coincidence. R & D got a bonus when they thought that up. Never did find the first bar cover nut. 5 chainsaws and (gas powered) only 2 working. The Huskys are just a gremlin camp currently. My nice Echo CS345...was running awesome as usual. Came back one day, no cover on the air filter/carb section...that is on the front...where all the cutting happens...Dug enough wood out of there to make a box of tooth picks. $30...new cover...put it together, try starting it and it-just -doesn't- want-to-pull correctly. Pop the spark plug out and it feels spongy and my skin temperature causes the AC to kick on. If one of the Stihls goes down...I'm taking both and handing out sharpened axes and hand saws...for Honey Locust's tree removal I'm sorry for the vent. I like your format. -must-👆- button... click 👍! ...I don't want to break open the case on my Echo. It was my dads.🙁 But I'm going to have to.
Tore my Husqvarna 36 saw apart. Found the impulse tube deteriorated. Checked all your Husqvarna videos. All had common setups. Which Stihl saw would you recommend to look for? Thanks
@@TheGreasyShopRag majority use a front carb support, a back plate with nipple , throttle linkage, etc. stihl trimmers same top/ bottom, clutch, etc. i assumed that basic stihl saws would share common features. If I could get one or two then would have an idea about them. Hope that made sense.
@@steveriggenbach90 I've seen a few different basic designs with the Stihl saws but I refuse to memorize their stupid model number system. WTF were they thinking?
Great overview, love the captioning to explain content without having to speak while you are doing the job. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for wayching!
Great information. Got a nice saw due the coil gap got bigger. I was waiting to see if you removed the shim, lol. Been there…done that myself.

I don't understand people eliminating the spark arrestor screen. It's not a big deal to remove, clean, and reinstall them.
Agreed.
Agree also. Like putting a loud race muffler on an old PINTO. NOT worth it. Chance of fire also
Thx
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Were you adjusting the idle screw to tune it just right or the carburetor?
I just brought the idle speed up enough to keep it running. Later I'd take it outside and adjust the carb.

I've seen that a few times with grass in hedge clippers.
When I went to meet up with the guys from ECHO, they told us that palm trees are the most common problem for failures over there

I'm not sure what you mean by "all have common setups". Do you mean a separate impulse tube rather than integrated in the boot?

@@TheGreasyShopRag they weren’t
What's the gas ratio
The manufacturer recommends 50:1
Great job bud, what grease is that. It's in a good size tube. Thanks
Official Husqvarna grease. Not sure of the part number but I'll try to remember to check tommorow.
I was just editing a video that showed the part number for that tube of Husky grease. Its 596287601.
Is that .010 gap for air gap ?
.3mm which is .011"
Where do I go to meet you
How much do you charge to do somthing like you just did?
Usually 1/2 hour labor plus parts.
Did you forget to show how you checked the spark plug gap? ;-)
I musta gapped it by eyeball. 🙂
@@TheGreasyShopRag That does not work for me; I have cross-eyed balls.
