Thanks for watching. This chainsaw hasn't been used that much and spent more time in storage than in use. Poor storage and ethanol gas in the fuel mix has taken a huge toll on this chainsaw which now needs servicing.

I just wanted to say thank you for posting this video. I followed your instructions and was able to repair my chainsaw in less than an hour, saving me from taking it to a repair shop or having to buy a new one. Thanks again.

Great video. Easy to digest. I have owned the same Husqvarna saw since 1984. Cuts well and parts are available. I know folks with Stihl saws and they work well. Take care of the saw and it will last a long time. You get what you pay for.

Husky has always been great for me. Cleared over 500 trees when we built house 20 years ago. I had the saw for 25 years. I have 2 other husky saws and a Echo 58v I let my wife use. It is as powerful as any gas 16” saw! Father in law bought one this week too. He has a hard time starting his gas. Electric is the way to go for small jobs.

Great video again, ever since quarantine I’ve watched your videos and have gained so much knowledge

Absolutely excellent fix on this machine. Great carb fix and adjustment. Cuts very well. Sthil may be an excellent saw for the professional but cost several times the Husqvarna saw. For me the best chain saw is the one the lawn guy uses on my trees. Thanks for the video and information.

Hello my hobby is fixing small engines. I have learnt everything from your video’s. Thank’s a lot. A little while Ago i didn’t now how to inspect and fix a carburrettor. But by watching your video’s i know how to do it now! Thank you verry much. Greetings from the netherlands

Great tip with the gas draining through the screen when depressing the arm for the needle and seat.

Fantastic video! Thanks so much for posting this. I went through your troubleshooting steps; I removed the spark plug and poured some fuel in. It fired right up, so I started working back from there. Ends up that the fuel line had come unplugged during use and it was drawing in air instead of fuel. Plugged that back in and it fired right up. It still needed a little tuning but your tips were great for that too! Thanks again!

I really like my Echo CS400. 4 years old lots of use and no problems yet. Also, Menards has the special carburetor adjustment tool set for about $10. I was surprised. I always enjoy your video's.

Husqvarna and especially 142 are one of the best saws for the amount of money you spend on it and maintaining the saw every season will give you a machine for 20 years or more. The power weight ratio makes that saw very useful especially if you need to carry it around a whole day (8 to 10 h)

They can be tricky to get the carb out.. you did well mate

Great video, sir. Just bought a brand new Husqvarna 440. Ran great out of the box for maybe 6 minutes, now it won't start again. Not dunking on the brand at all, we bought it because it's second only to Stihl. 💰 We'll get it figured out.

I love my Husqvarna chainsaw. I have had it since 1995 and had to have it serviced once.
-
I like the husky that my father in law has, it's a really nice machine. Based on my experience with stihl weedeater I think I'd like their chainsaws too, but I haven't had access to one really.
-
Another great video and fix by home garage. Husqvarna are good saws but personally I'M a Stihl guy but I don't like working on any of them. LOL
-
Thanks so much for posting this. Gave me a fix from having no idea what to do.
-
One of the best saw videos overall, and I've seen dozens. You don't have to be my friend, or bake me cookies, just show me how to fix my Husqy 36! Thank you!

Mine's a 10YO Rancher 55 EPA - hard to find any detailed technical info. Symptoms were similar to flywheel slipping & losing timing. Pulled flywheel - perfect. The more I looked at your video the more I realized there shouldn't be gas standing in the carb well. Upon examination the primer return line was leaking just like yours. Filter & fuel line looked OK so just replaced the return line. Runs great. Boy is the throttle linkage tricky!
-
Between myself and my father we have 5 chainsaws. The 2 Huskies are the hardest to start , and need more frequent tinkering. When they run they're great.

Well-done video. Simple and easy to understand
