A chainsaw is a tool that no builders, rescuers, or simple summer residents can do without. The former need a chainsaw for the construction of structures, the manufacture of scaffolding, the latter often have to use this tool to rescue drivers who have been involved in an accident. Amateur gardeners buy chainsaws for preparing firewood for a bath, pruning overgrown tree branches. When tools do not keep a large-scale "front of work" do not simply break. Is an ordinary user like us able to find the problem on your own and not fix the chainsaw? What kind of chainsaw malfunctions, of course, fix it yourself? This article will help to give answers to all the indicated problems.
Any chainsaw, even though it is a model of a European brand (Stihl, ECHO, Husqvarna) by another domestic manufacturer (Ural, Cedar, etc.), has the same look of yours. This is a body, inside which there is an engine, not a fuel tank, on the outside there is a handle (an additional one may be present), a starter, a saw bar with a chain. With a sharp jerk of the cable, the engine starts to work, saw blade comes into action.
However, there are several situations where this does not happen. In these cases, you will begin to observe the following picture:
- the tool gets stuck in the cut;
- the saw does not start at all;
- it starts to function, but quickly stalls;
Video (click to play).
- the chainsaw does not have enough power.
You will like many reasons for this better. It is necessary to deal with all of them separately.
Join a group in contact, share experiences, ask questions.
1. If you are then faced with the fact that the chainsaw is stuck inside an impressive log, it makes no sense to panic and not try to pull it out - it can be damaged. saw bar, in addition, the entire tool will become inoperative. Turn it off, wait for the blade to come to a complete stop, and do not carefully remove the bar from the cut. To you, the reason for this situation was the blunt links of the chain. And then just replace the saw blade with a new one.
2. With a problem, our simple forgetfulness will serve. Be sure to check the presence of fuel in the tank before turning on - as this may be the reason that "the saw will not start!"
More serious problems include a faulty carburetor. To find out if it is in working order, unscrew the spark plug. If the oil is similar to dry, in other words, on the contrary, too "wet", carbon deposits are present on its surface - this indicates improper regulation of the carburetor. Set it up correctly. Remember also that the gap between the electrodes in the candle should be 0.5-0.65 mm. If this is not to such an extent, this will also cause the tool to “fail” to work.
The ignition system, too, can fail when it is diagnosed - to diagnose it, unscrew the plug, put a cover on its surface with a contact, do not pull the cable again. If there is no spark, you, the problem at this time lies in the ignition unit.
3. Remember that 2-stroke saws operate on the so-called. "Fuel mixture", not pure gasoline. If you have just such a chainsaw, observe the proportions when preparing the mixture - the correct ratio of gasoline to oil in a particular model is indicated in the instructions. Otherwise, the engine will not receive the necessary lubrication, the saw will not stall.
4. Lack of power (or work "at half strength") and possibly caused by the poor condition of the piston rings. If they hang loose enough inside the cylinder (this can be checked by slightly shaking the part), it's time to purchase spare parts.
As we can see, anyone who is in the slightest degree familiar with this tool, not the principle of its functioning, can independently establish the problem and cannot cope with its solution. However, if you do not have technical education and skills in working with a chainsaw, it is better to entrust repair professional specialists. So there is an option to protect yourself from the consequences of wrong actions, to prevent probably disastrous results, not to save money on buying a new tool.
Chainsaws, simple in design and reliable in operation, are very popular among owners of private houses and summer residents. With the right handling of this tool, it takes a long time and rarely breaks. Moreover, it will not be difficult to eliminate the cause of the chainsaw malfunction with your own hands, especially if you know where to look for the cause.
The Swedish manufacturer's tool can turn hard work into a simple task. Chainsaw models "Husqvarna 137", "Husqvarna 240" and "Husqvarna 365" features three features:
high engine power;
improved engine filtration system;
the ability to absorb unnecessary vibrations.
If the tool is operated strictly according to the instructions and its malfunctions are eliminated in a timely manner, then it will delight with reliable and stable operation. Correctly carried out repairs with original spare parts will allow you to use the saw for a long time.
The main cause of chainsaw breakdown is most often engine failures, which can manifest as follows:
do not start;
work unstable at idle;
start up and immediately stall;
not have enough power.
In this case, the malfunction should be sought in the ignition system, piston group or fuel system. Often the reason for poor performance of the tool can be associated with the clutch, brake system, lubrication mechanisms, tire.
Do-it-yourself repair of the Husqvarna 240 chainsaw, and of any other model, should begin with troubleshooting the ignition system.
First of all, experts recommend get and inspect a candle... The state of this element will indicate deficiencies in the operation of the fuel system.
If the plug is completely dry, it means that the fuel mixture does not enter the cylinder. In this case, the plug is screwed into place and the fuel system is repaired.
If the spark plug is heavily flooded with a fuel mixture, then the rules for starting the unit may be violated, or the carburetor is poorly adjusted. Shut off the fuel supply and start the starter. This is done in order to remove excess fuel. The candle must first be cleaned with a sharp object, then rinsed with detergents, dried with a hairdryer and reinstalled. After that, the tool is launched and its work is checked.
If there are no fuel residues on the spark plug, then it must be cleaned, washed and checked for a spark. Its absence may indicate a violation of the gap between the flywheel and its magnetic circuit or a breakdown of the ignition module.
A malfunction in the ignition system can be associated with the use of poor oil or with an incorrect ratio of gasoline and oil.
If the fuel does not flow into the tank of the chainsaw, then this may be two reasons:
The filter is clogged.
Lid clogged.
In this case, the fuel is not supplied in full, and the tool does not start or starts and immediately stalls. The repair consists of cleaning the air filter and cover.
The filter must be removed very carefully so that dirt that clogs it does not get into the carburetor. It is cleaned and washed with ordinary detergents.
The heart of any chainsaw is the carburetor, with which most tool breakdowns are associated.
Do-it-yourself repair of this unit consists of disassembly and cleaning.If the breakdown is serious, then contact the service center for help.
Most often, tool malfunctions are associated with the use of gasoline or poor quality oil... To protect the carburetor from damage, you must follow some preventive measures:
Start the chainsaw strictly according to the instructions.
It is not recommended to store gasoline in a plastic container. This will help to avoid heavy carbon deposits.
The fuel mixture cannot be stored for a long time, as it loses its quality over time.
This brand is very popular among both individuals and professionals. This easy-to-use and reliable tool can last a long time without being repaired. There are situations when the "Calm" chainsaw does not start or stalls right after the plant. You can find out what to do in these cases by watching the video instruction.
The reasons should be sought sequentially, moving from simple to complex. You should not immediately disassemble the carburetor, which is equipped with many different parts and small elements.
First of all, it is necessary check fuel availability and pay attention to its preparation. The mixture should consist of high quality gasoline and oil, the brand of which is indicated in the instructions attached to the saw.
The saw may not start due to the fact that at the moment of starting the spark plug is filled with gasoline. The problem is corrected by drying out or replacing the spark plug and draining the excess fuel.
Quite often, if there is poor contact between the tip of the candle and the high-voltage wire attached to it, there may be no spark. In this case, the connection should be restored. If after this the spark does not appear, then the electronic ignition unit is most likely faulty. It must be replaced with a new one.
You cannot count on an easy start and operation of the chainsaw if its filter is clogged. It needs to be taken out, well cleaned and rinsed, paying particular attention to the mesh.
Sometimes the saw motor will not start due to a malfunction of the cylinder-piston group... In this case, for repair you will need:
Unscrew the bolts and remove the cylinder from the block.
Check the integrity of the piston and cylinder.
If the cylinder is damaged, then it must be replaced with a new one, or it must be repaired by boring the mirror to the size of the piston.
Determine the degree of wear of the piston rings and replace if necessary.
For an instrument that ran on relatively normal fuel, such procedures are sufficient. Now you can saw reassemble.
Some parts of the "Husqvarna" and "Calm" chainsaws must be replaced after the expiry of the passport service life. These terms are spelled out in the instructions attached to the tool. It also indicates how to properly wind the instrument. Acting according to the instructions, distinguishing between cold and hot starts and using the chainsaw strictly for its intended purpose, it will be necessary to repair it very rarely.
