  Ryan WigginsSep 23, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Chainsaw does not accelerate, try the following: * Adjust the L and H screws. * Check for blocked air filter, fuel tank vent or fuel filter. * Ensure the fuel line is not blocked or damaged. * Inspect the impulse channel for blockages. * Check for a loose cover on the carburettor pump side or a faulty pump diaphragm. * Look for leaks in the air intake hose and ensure the carburettor mounting bolts are tight. * Verify the needle valve isn't set too low and the metering system is correctly assembled. * Also, the needle valve assembly could be sticking or the diffuser jets may be faulty.

Why Husqvarna Chainsaw will not idle?

  tammy77Sep 12, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Chainsaw will not idle, consider adjusting the L screw. Other potential causes include a leaking air intake hose, loose carburettor mounting bolts, or a loose or faulty fuel hose. Check for a blocked fuel filter, fuel line, or fuel tank vent. Also, inspect for a stiff throttle valve pivot, a sticking throttle pushrod, a defective throttle return spring, or a bent throttle stop. A faulty diffuser jet could also be the reason.
