In detail: Chainsaw Husqvarna 5200 DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Husqvarna 5200 - Chinese counterfeit, has been in operation for more than 5 years.
Over the years, there have been no complaints about the saw, but the time has come and problems have appeared. The idle speed increased by itself, the chain did not stop, the idle screw did not help.
I did not pay much attention, since it was possible to work. But gradually the problem intensified, the idle speed increased to such an extent that it was possible to cut without even pressing the throttle lever.
At some point, the saw stalled and completely stopped starting.

I was not particularly upset, since there was another saw on the farm, produced by another company.
And the Chinese Husqvarna was quietly gathering dust somewhere in the corner until it caught my eye once again. And once again I thought: is it possible to repair it? Of course, there was not even a thought about the service center, very far away, and indeed. the game is not worth the candle. I decided to delve into and understand myself.

I looked on the Internet, asked around on the forums. The answer is almost the same everywhere: carburetor or crankshaft oil seals.
I bought a carburetor and changed it. The result is zero. Well, about the oil seals, the matter is more complicated here, but still I decided to take a look. I began to disassemble it gradually. When I removed the cylinder, I found a surprise. The gasket between the crankcase and the cylinder has been damaged. Rather, she was almost not there at all. Only small pieces remain from the gasket in the corners.

As luck would have it, there was nothing at hand to make a new gasket. Cut out from thick cardboard, oiled, installed.
Assembled the saw, jerked the starter. The saw started up.
A small carburetor tweak, final assembly, and the saw ran for almost a year.

Then the same symptoms appeared again. I immediately thought that everything is repeated. Most likely, the paper pad did not withstand the function assigned to it.
Actually, it turned out to be so.

Next, a few photos, maybe someone will come in handy.

We take a sheet of paronite 1 mm thick and about 80x80 mm in size. We mark with a compass and cut out a hole to dia. 50mm. With an awl we mark the centers of the future holes for fastening, then we cut them out with a scalpel directly on the cylinder.
To prevent the gasket from moving, bolts can be temporarily inserted into the holes already cut.

Cut off the outer edge of the gasket.

Using a chainsaw makes life much easier even for an amateur, and in some professions this tool is almost indispensable. However, like any relatively complex device, a chainsaw requires periodic maintenance. Due to untimely or inadequate maintenance and due to the impact of both planned and excessive loads, various malfunctions can occur.For professionals, interruptions or erratic saw operation will reduce work efficiency or may result in a ruined work day. One of the most common malfunctions is the improper tuning of the chainsaw carburetor, which gets confused due to unsuccessful attempts to adjust or switch the adjusting screws for other reasons.

The following symptoms and malfunctions indicate the need for carburetor adjustment:

  • the engine starts with deformation and stops almost instantly;
  • gasoline consumption is too high, the exhaust is too thick, the combustible mixture in the cylinder does not completely burn out;
  • the factory settings of the chainsaw carburetor were knocked down (due to vibrations or unsuccessful attempts to adjust);
  • malfunction of the air purification system, which led to the ingress of debris particles into the fuel distribution mechanism;
  • significant wear of the piston group. the carburetor setting in this case acts as a temporary measure.

It is understood that when dirt enters the fuel system with one set, the problem cannot be solved. flushing is required. In the event of a worn piston, a major overhaul is required. However, in all these cases, the carburetor is also tuned.

A carburetor is required to prepare the air / fuel mixture for engine power. If the proportions in this mixture are not correct, engine operation is interrupted. If proportions to an increase in the amount of fuel are not observed, the mixture is said to be oversaturated if the fuel, on the other hand, is unlikely. At work, the engine is neither the best way.

In different models of chainsaws, carburetors differ in design, but they are, in principle, similar to the action. The air flow moves at high speed through the air channel. A damper blocking the channel allows you to vary the speed of the air blast. The fuel is fed through the nozzle into the channel, where it mixes with the incoming air, forming a fuel-air mixture. The resulting mixture enters the engine.

The pressure in the float chamber, where the fuel is before mixing, is practically equal to atmospheric pressure. But the air duct creates a vacuum so that the fuel is drawn into the air stream. The more the flap is opened, the faster the air travels and the more fuel is added. the engine speed increases. Therefore, it is easy to imagine the principle of the carburetor.

Tuning is required for efficient, smooth tool operation for maximum productivity and at the same time economical fuel consumption. chainsaw carburetor... Fuel and air filters must be checked before tuning. they must be clean. Most chainsaws are adjustable with three screws: idle, high speed, low speed. When the carburettor is set correctly, the following symbols indicate:

  1. The chain does not move when idling.
  2. The engine accelerates smoothly and quickly.
  3. The sound of the engine running is smooth, similar to that of a four-stroke engine.
