Member Discussion on Husqvarna 240e Chainsaw Idle Adjustment I have a new 240e and cannot keep it running. It will start, after many pulls, and one of two things happens. After running for 30 seconds, I will tap the trigger to set the idle and it will promptly idle down and die. Or, I do nothing, and it will idle for a bit and die. Restarts are difficult. I did not get a manual with the saw, so all I have to work with is one I downloaded. Idle adjustment is mentioned, but no indication where this adjustment might be. Thanks

Its not an idle screw adjustment issue, it is a mixture screw adjustment issue, unfortunatly there is a special tool to adjust the mixture screws, pt no. 530035560 ( available from Hysqvarna dealers ) once you have this tool you can make an adjustment to the L screw on the carb, undo ( anti clock wise ) this screw ten minutes on a clock face ,this will richen the muxture, and should make it more stable on idle.
The Husquvana dealers say you can't get the tool, and they can't sell them to you because of federal regullations with pollution....bahhhh....but I bought two of them on E Bay for just a couple bucks. Thanks for the input. I will give it a try
