This Husqvarna 445 chainsaw hasn't been running its best lately so it's time to clean the carb. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

    I appreciate the no BS approach. Great video, sir.

    Excellent clear video that tells us exactly what we need to know - no more and no less.

    Straight to the point with everything we need to know, and excellent close-up pictures. Thanks.

    Hi Mike, great video on carburetor repair! I found it really informative. Your step-by-step instructions made it easy to follow. I'm really impressed with your knowledge of chainsaws.

    I’m afraid if I try this my saw will never run lol

    Thanks! I hope that I can rebuild the carburettor on my 445e and make sure any tuning is right!
  • great video. another guy had a 32 minute vid and i thought Ok ***!!! not going to do that. you covered the whole thing very well in one third the time thanks

    Great video! I have had my carb off twice and i still wasn't sure if had reinstalled it correctly. This video cleared up several things I was confused about.

    Thank you, great video and lots of detail, it really helped me strip the chainsaw down, clean the carb, and put it back together again. I replaced the gaskets and diaphragm. I think the carb is a ZAMA EL37B C1M so I got the kit for that model and it worked great.

    Excellent video Very good explanation
  • @gonzaloa7607
    great tutorial!! you saved my life.. thank you! 👏🏻

    Great vid of the take apart. Walbro carb kits with all the gaskets are only $15. Good to have on hand incase you get it all apart and find any of it bungled up.
  • @mykelbaurle5758
    Great video! I followed your directions and was able to remove the carburetor on my 445 and clean it, now the saw runs like a striped monkey. P.s._I also replaced the fuel filter. Thank you
  • Fantastic video. Everyone else wants to buy a new carb and replace it you dealt w the real solution. What if you on the job. What do you do???? Wait till next week or whenever the gods of deliverance decides to send you the new carb????? Or do you tear it apart and fix it?? Anyway, thanks for the video it is first rate. By the by is a weed eater basically the same as far as carbs go???

    Thanks for posting this video! My saw has been bogging down and cutting off when I give it full throttle-- I suppose I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and give the carburetor a good cleaning.
  • @johnzee691
    was looking for a video like this not too long back. that "red" fuel from depot I'm guessing has gummed up things a bit. thank you very much 😁👍
