Need chainsaw help

37 chief · Nov 14, 2020

I have a medium size Husqvarna 16 in. chain saw. It was given to me, so I don't know the history. It did start when gas was put in the intake. I dissembled the walboro carb. Everything looked good. Now when I pull it through, it immediately floods with no choke or throttle. Any chainsaw help appreciated. Stan

carb diaphrams are old & stiff. Rebuild kit or new carb.

Do yourself a favor and replace the fuel lines, filter and put a carb kit in it after properly cleaning the carb. Also check the exhaust for restrictions or obstructions, there's a screen in there often needs cleaning, or tossing it if you live where you can.

You put the carburetor together wrong or damaged an old part putting it back together. The diaphragm needle isn't closing and is just letting fuel run in.

Some walbro carbs apparently have some internal parts that are not repairable. This may be one of them. If a complete new carb kit does not solve it may require a new carb. That's what happened on my cs-590.
