I love my Husqvarna 450. It's the first GOOD chainsaw I've ever owned. It's been over a year and of it working flawlessly but lately it has been bogging down and stalling without the trigger pressed. In this video I explain how I went about fixing this. I am by no means an expert and used other videos and write ups to do so. Those, and all parts & tools, are all linked below.

    Adjusting the low air screw until you get your highest idle speed was helpful for me. Thanks.
  • @robertturner1059
    Your the man, worked just like you said. I have a husky 350 chainsaw. All I had to do was change the air filter and adjust the idle screw. Thank for your advice.
  • @cocospops9351
    I've got the exact same saw, it's branded McCulloch but says made by husky on a plate. It's a great machine. Love it
  • @Mathews29
    I really wish you would have let us hear the problems with it before the video. Then after the adjustments. We have no idea if it relates to ours
  • @shanesmaineshop
    I had to do this to my saw as well seems to be working better now.
  • @eddiesanmiguellordhellspawn76
    I have the same chainsaw mines about 3 years old and it's now doing the same thing I use the throttle and it wants to die I'll try and do the methods you mentioned.

    Hi link to carb adjust L/H drivers is bad. Leads to shower caps??? Can you send me a link. Great video and thank you for taking the time:)
  • @matthewl6183
    For idle speed (not idle/low mix) adjustment i believe its turn ctr-clockwise till chain stops moving then another ⅛-¼ turn. As for the high mix give the saw full throttle then "loosen" screw til it bogs then "tighten" till it bogs find the highest rpm in between then go ⅛ turn looser so its slightly rich

    Seems odd saw ran great for such a long time with no carb adjustment. I'm thinking possibly your bog could be caused by worn crankshaft seals or the intake leaking air and causing a lean bog stall .Adjusting the carb may cover up the problem for a while and i could be all wrong in my assumption too.

    You can also get a tuning tool from a Husqvarna dealer.

    My saw Boggs and dies before I can even get a twist on any screws. I took the carb off and cleaned it up the best I could. That didn’t help. So I tinkered with screws but it keeps dieing in under 5 seconds.. very frustrating

    I knew you were from south jersey when I heard your accent
  • @jameskrivitsky9715
    Thanks for the vid.  Set HIGH speed mixture screw first. Then adjust low , and lastly the idle setting.  Eventually you will get to a point where the carb will need to be dismantled and the jets / screen, passage ways cleaned out  . Hoses and in-tank filter are usually changed at this time.  Good evening job to do in the garage.  J K
  • @HoldenJim1
    I stopped the video when you said you have never done this before. I just love how beginners try to teach people.
  • @matej4854
    Plug that decomp valve it's just a source of problems.
