In detail: partner 350 chainsaw DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
For people engaged in construction or logging, as well as living in their own living quarters with an adjacent plot of land, it will be very useful to own a quality Swedish chainsaw "Partner 350", which is an excellent substitute for other tools for cutting wood, for example, two-handed saws or hacksaws ...
Like any other units, chainsaws also require careful maintenance and periodic maintenanceotherwise they will quickly break down as a result of exploitation. At the same time, contacting qualified specialists with a request to fix a chainsaw costs money, which you may not want to spend for any reason, because you understand that you can fix most of the faults and breakdowns yourself. To do this, you need to understand the structure of the chainsaw and watch a video where you will receive detailed instructions for repairing the Partner 350 chainsaw.
The vast majority of product malfunctions occur due to engine problems and related systems. Usually, to repair the unit, it should be disassembled. In order not to make a mistake during the disassembly process, read more about the design of the chainsaw in the video or operating instructions.
When your chainsaw won't start, you should first see if are the candles in good working order, giving a spark, due to which the fuel ignites and by force of an impulse pushes the piston, which does useful work.
In order to assess the condition of the candle, you need to remove the wire going to it from the starter and unscrew it with a suitable key from the groove. Examine the candle: its appearance will tell you what happened to the chainsaw:
The consequence of such malfunctions is the inability of the fuel to penetrate into the cylinder and begin to carry out useful work on the rotation of the chain, therefore the chainsaw will not start... The reasons for this are as follows:
Video (click to play).
The fuel filter is out of order because it is clogged.
The breather is clogged (this is the name of the hole made by the manufacturer in the gas tank and designed for air to enter the tank through it).
Lack of fuel in the gas tank.
The diaphragm in the carburetor is not complete, or there is a high probability of blockage in the carburetor passages.
Carburetor adjustment is not correct.
To determine if the breather or filter is clogged with foreign objects, you will need to disconnect from the mountings fuel hose and see if gasoline flows from it and with what pressure. If gasoline comes out slowly and weakly, clean the breather with a thin, sharp object, such as an awl. If the problem is with the filter, remove it from the fuel tank and clean it, and replace if necessary.
Did you find that the carburetor is the root cause of your problems? The good news here is that if your carburetor filter gets clogged, you can easily clean it yourself. In addition, you can easily do the adjustment and tuning of the carburetor of the Partner 350 chainsaw with your own hands, if you strictly adhere to the recommendations from the instruction manual.
The bad news is that with other, more complex carburetor repairs, you are unlikely to cope with your own hands, and you will have to take your unit to the mechanics. Sometimes the manufacturer deliberately does not write in the instructions, how to tune and repair a carburetorso that people who do not understand the device of the product do not try to fix the malfunction on their own if the chainsaw suddenly stops starting and, as a result, does not completely break the unit.
To the main breakdowns of this system chainsaws include:
Low pressure detected by the cylinder compression gauge, which causes the motor to lose power and cannot rotate the chain at the speed necessary to cut wood efficiently. The pressure at which the engine runs smoothly is approximately nine atmospheres.
Loss of tightness of the rings in the pistons, due to which hot gases from the cylinders enter the crankcase. The malfunction is eliminated by replacing the rings.
Problems with the tightness of the gaskets located in the cylinder head (cylinder head). Visually expressed in the form of emissions of gasoline combustion products through the slots in the gasket and the pressure drop in the engine. The problem is solved by replacing the gaskets.
If you want to know if there are problems in the cylinders, then the easiest way to do it is remove the muffler and assess the situation, looking through the hole left over from the removed muffler at the insides of the cylinders. In the event of the need for repairs, of course, you will need to remove the cylinder head for open access to the pistons and cylinders.
Sometimes, having accelerated your chainsaw to high engine rpm, you are surprised to find that the engine cannot cope with them, and your tool stalls. At the same time, smoke begins to pour out of the muffler. However, the motor runs easily at low revs.
In this case, there is a high probability that the muffler of your unit clogged with carbon and other products of incomplete combustion of fuel, therefore it must be cleaned. This work is done as follows: you will need to remove the muffler from the chainsaw and disassemble it; then clean its outer and inner surfaces from carbon deposits; in the last step, dry with a hair dryer and place on the chainsaw.
Please note that it is recommended to cover the muffler opening with a plug or rag to avoid clogging of the cylinders with debris.

The power component of the device is a single-cylinder 2-stroke engine running on a fuel mixture. Reinforced piston group, large torque reserve, efficient air cooling system extend the service life of the device. With a cylinder volume of 34 cm 3 and a 3.2 cm piston stroke, the chainsaw generates a rated power of 1.3 kW. This is enough to create a high cutting speed in both horizontal and vertical directions.
economical engine;
two-circuit air cleaning system CCS;

manual fuel pump;
emergency brake for the saw headset;
high quality cutting part from the Oregon brand;
automatic chain lubrication.
Traction - 1.5 kW;
Engine speed range - 3-13 thousand rpm;
Fuel tank - 0.25 l;
Oil tank - 0.15 l;
Guide - 400 mm;
Chain - 52 links with a 3/8 pitch;
Weight - 4.6 kg.
The 350 comes standard with a 52-link Oregon 91P052E chain. After wear, you can replace it with the same blade, or with others:
Husqvarna 5776151-22;
Stihl 39970000052s.
It is important that the number of links is not within the range of 46-52 pieces.
According to the operating instructions, before starting the Partner 350 chainsaw, it undergoes special training, which includes:
installing a saw headset or checking its tension for already installed parts;
checking the serviceability of the brake band;
putting the brake lever in a ready state as shown in the figure;
filling the oiler and gas tank with fuels and lubricants. The fuel mixture is prepared in a ratio of 1:50 from oil for 2-stroke engines and unleaded AI-92 gasoline.
The launch is carried out on a flat surface, sharply pulling the throttle cable. With a cold start, open the air damper and allow the chainsaw to warm up. Only after that you can gain momentum and move on to woodworking.
All the possible nuances of adjusting the Partner 350 chainsaw with your own hands are detailed in the operating instructions. If they are not observed, the tool is not immune from malfunctions and repairs, the budget of which can be unpredictable.
The most vulnerable systems of the 350th chainsaw from the Partner brand are:
If the engine runs badly or does not start at all, the reasons may be as follows:
lack of gasoline or air intake;
no spark to ignite.
For a more accurate analysis of the situation, you must:
make sure the fuel reaches the carburetor section - if not, then:
the saw's gas tank is empty:
float needle clogged;
air access to the fuel tank is cut off;
the petrol filter is clogged. These breakdowns are eliminated by cleaning the cleaning systems, refilling the chainsaw with high-quality fuel.
if gasoline reaches the carburetor, examine the plug for defects - it must be dry and with the correct gap. By its external state, one can judge about possible malfunctions of the entire instrument (see the figure below).
If, when connected to a grounded wire, it does not spark, the problem is in the spark plug itself, which may need to be replaced. In addition to the spark plug, other spare parts often fail - the ignition coil or switch;
detecting a wet candle is a sure sign that the candle is flooded. This could be due to:
incorrect or failure of the factory settings of the carburetor;
filling the carburetor block with fuel.,
In any case, the carburetor settings need to be updated.
