The difference between an original chainsaw and a fake

Husqvarna 135 chainsaw device

The design and configuration of the chainsaw is typical for most types of saws, including those from other manufacturers. The parts of the unit are 99% interchangeable; when selecting and ordering, you can use spare parts from many other Husqvarna chainsaws, in particular those suitable for models 140, 435, 440. In most cases, unless otherwise stated, parts suitable for these saws will be available also use on model 135.

Some changes and features of the device can be clarified by the markings. The letter “E” following the numbers in the model name means a starter with an additional spring and with 4 “legs” instead of two in the basic modifications of the models. In addition, these models do not require the use of a special tool to tension the chain; the chain can be replaced without a tool. All basic models differ from modified ones in that to replace and tension the chain you must use the included slotted screwdriver.

“1” in the model name is the 3/8″ x 1.3 mm saw set used. “4” – chains and tires 0.325″ x 1.3 mm.

Structurally, the chainsaw consists of:

Handles (front, rear and starter handle);
Covers (cylinder, clutch and starter);
Chain brake handles;
Reservoir for fuel and chain oil;
Gas control levers, air damper, throttle lock;
Ignition switch;
Silencer;
Tires with its guide and end sprocket;
Chains with a tension screw;
Protective shield for the right hand.

Carburetor Husqvarna 135

The price of an original carburetor for a chainsaw at the time of writing (2017) is approximately 1/4 of the cost of the entire unit and ranges from 3,200 to 3,500 rubles. The original spare part is suitable, as mentioned above, for models 135,135e,140,140e, 435,435e,440e - thus its prevalence is very high.

The original part has catalog number 5064505-01C. Carburetor photo -

Chainsaw chain

The advantage of these chainsaw models is the standard parameters of chainsaw chains. Almost any chain with a bar length (40 centimeters in general) with a groove width of 1.3 millimeters will do, the chain pitch depends on the model. For those starting with “1” - 3/8″ - which is true for model 135, for analogues starting with “4” - 0.325″.

In any case, you can use any chains for a chainsaw; it is only important to monitor its tension. To adjust the chain tension, you should use an adjusting screw and the rule is that the chain should not sag on the bar, sit quite firmly, but at the same time should not interfere with the rotation of the sprocket; when turned off, the chain should easily scroll along the chainsaw bar by hand.

Announcement:

An important feature when adjusting is that during operation the chain stretches slightly, so it is necessary to periodically check its tension. Correct adjustment will be in increments of 1/4 turn of the adjusting screw.

Review of chainsaw models, their differences

To choose a tool for the job, you need to familiarize yourself with several models, find out their differences and buy a suitable saw upon request.

The Husqvarna 236 chainsaw is intended for domestic use. It can be equipped with a 35 or 40 cm tire. All of the above options are available in the tool, ensuring easy starting even in winter. It uses fuel economically and emissions of combustion products have been halved.

The power of the Husqvarna 236 chainsaw is 1.9 liters. With. or 1400 W. With a small tire and a weight of 4.6 kg, it is convenient for trimming trees in the garden, chopping branches and sawing small logs, but not larch.

The compact model, equipped with an economical engine, is universal. The volume of the combustion chamber is 38 cm3, the fuel volume of 0.3 liters is enough for an hour of continuous operation. The chain lubrication system is forced, includes a 0.2 liter tank, but injection through a special hole is also possible.

Feedback from craftsmen who worked on professional saws, who have something to compare with, note the softness of the cut and the ergonomics of the model. They also warn that there are examples with an unregulated carburetor. Such products are replaced, the problem is easily solved. There were no other comments on the saw.

The Husqvarna 142 chainsaw is a semi-professional tool. It is used for winter firewood collection in rural areas. In winter, at sub-zero temperatures, it starts the fourth time. Particularly noteworthy is the curved handle, which allows for a comfortable grip. With this tool you can work at heights:

comfortable handle to hold;
easy starting is ensured by a starting spring;
chain inertia brake reduces kickback when cutting wood;
uniform weight distribution with separation of engine blocks and fuel tank further reduces vibration;
a forged three-section crankshaft increases the power of the saw.

Working at heights is not possible with just any tool. It is difficult to maintain balance under load on scaffolding. Therefore, for those involved in the construction of country houses, this reliable American-made Husqvarna 142 chainsaw is suitable.

Technical characteristics of the saw:

two-stroke engine power – 1.9 kW;
maximum fuel volume – 410 cm3;
oil container – 200 cm3;
tire length – 33-38 cm;
total weight before refueling is 4.6 kg.

Be careful when using the saw. It is unacceptable to move from one object to another with a working mechanism. When working, you should follow the operating instructions for the Husqvarna chainsaw.

Reviews about the model are only positive. Professionals note that they work for several hours without arm fatigue. In winter it starts 4 times, in summer you need to take a break more often so as not to overheat the engine. There is a warning that when cutting at an angle, oil leaks out of the tank.

The Husqvarna 240 chainsaw is an example of a new generation of household tools. A new option, in addition to those listed, which are typical for all Husqvarna saws, is a broken chain catcher. The traumatic factor has been eliminated. The power and performance of the saw expands the range of use to semi-professional use.

The tool is equipped with a noise silencer and an effective vibration damping system.

Technical parameters of the Husqvarna 240 chainsaw:

engine working chamber volume 38.2 cm3;
engine power – 1.5 kW;
fuel tank capacity – 0.4 l;
tire length - 38 cm;
oil pump with constant flow rate for lubrication.

When working with the tool, you must follow the instructions in the operating instructions. This particular brand of chainsaws was named among the three that have:

engine with a high resource;
improved fuel cleaning before injection;
a well-thought-out system of centering and damping of components to reduce vibration.

Prepare the fuel mixture the day before, otherwise it will lose its properties. Gasoline cannot be stored in plastic containers for a long time - there will be carbon deposits on the candles. At the end of the work, drain all fuel from the tank until it is dry.

If the saw is properly run-in, oils, fuels and additives are used in accordance with the instructions, and maintenance is carried out during maintenance, the service life will last longer than the two years guaranteed by the manufacturer.

The Husqvarna 135 chainsaw is the lightest design, only 4.4 kg without fuel, oil and saw unit. The saw has a 1.5 liter engine. pp., fuel tank – 0.37 l. Recommended tires - 36-38 cm. Differences in equipment:

the presence of a metal stop for cutting round logs; in other amateur models this spike is made of plastic;
convenient lid with quick removal for checking spark plugs;
reusable air filters with easy replacement.
Soft rubber handles provide a comfortable grip.

It is this lightest model with a quick-release saw unit that can become the most convenient companion for an extreme motorist.

The Husqvarna 137 chainsaw was released in 2005 for amateurs, but with a powerful 2.2 liter engine. With. and a fuel tank of 410 cm3. This model has an improved ignition system with easy starting. The bar length used is 33-38 cm. For this saw, the manufacturer recommends using a chain of its own production, H 30, the leading link should be 1.3 cm thick.

In order for the saw to work flawlessly, the operating conditions must be observed, since this particular model does not tolerate rough handling:

adjust the saw mechanism;
lubricate the chain with the recommended compound at idle speed;
fill the carburetor with the proprietary mixture;
start the saw with the starter.

For the first 10 hours of work, saw without loading the mechanism, let the mating units get used to it. For those who rarely use saw tools, the manufacturer has improved the starting system. A special spring rotates the crankshaft so that the start takes place without much effort. The ignition mechanism was borrowed from professionals. As a result, the saw received a humorous review from a grateful customer - it does not refill itself and does not want to saw if you do not hold it with your hands.

The review contains information about the most commonly purchased amateur chainsaws and their features. Which one to choose is up to the buyer to decide.

Carburetor adjustment

Carburetor adjustment ensures the correct ratio of the amount of fuel supplied and the amount of air supplied to the engine combustion chamber. Before you start adjusting the carburetor, you must:

Check the air filter. Often, filter clogging is caused by interruptions in the operation of the chainsaw (more than 50% of such cases and simple cleaning “saves” from unnecessary carburetor adjustments);
Make sure the fuel and oil mixture is correct. The ratio of gasoline (it is recommended to use 95 or high-quality 92) and oil should be in the range from 1 to 50 to 1 to 40. Use only high-quality fuel and oil! Any technical service will tell you that a significant part of the problems with chainsaws arise due to low-quality fuel. Problems with chainsaws idling or speed during operation are among these.
Make sure that the fuel-oil mixture is prepared no earlier than 7-10 days ago. The long-prepared mixture gradually “degrades.” Fuel should be mixed in small containers.
Check chain tension. A chain that is too tight can prevent the tire from idling.

If all conditions are met, you can begin adjusting the carburetor. To do this, use the idle speed adjustment screw so that the chain does not move at idle. The adjusting screw should be rotated carefully, approximately 1/16 of a turn, in order to “catch” the moment at which the saw’s power is maximum, but no idle rotation occurs. If any difficulties arise, please contact the service center.

Step-by-step adjustment

Experts recommend that you independently adjust the carburetor in the model in question, adhering to the following plan:

First of all, you need to adjust 1 screw, then proceed to the second and only lastly start adjusting the screw responsible for idle speed.
Next, you need to determine what the highest idle speed is. To do this, you need to carefully turn 1 screw clockwise. Having found the largest indicator, the element should be turned ¼ turn counterclockwise. If during this operation the chain continues to rotate while idling, screw T must be slowly turned counterclockwise until the chain stops rotating.
Using screw H for adjustment, you can actually change both the power of the unit and its speed. However, it is worth keeping in mind that if the carburetor operates for a long time using the usual mixture and at high speeds, this may cause the chainsaw to fail.
To adjust screw H, you need to take the following steps:

warm up the engine of the unit for 15-20 seconds, selecting full speed mode;
turn the H-element counterclockwise ¼ turn;
leave the engine running for 10-15 seconds;
using a tachometer, analyze what the maximum speed is;
If the received data does not match the passport data, the process should be repeated again.

The four-stroke sound of the engine will help you understand that the adjustment has been made correctly. If the mixture is too lean after adjustment, the unit will make a squealing sound. If the mixture is too rich, smoke will begin to appear from the muffler. If home craftsmen have a device called a tachometer in their arsenal, then you can begin to independently adjust the H-screw. In other circumstances, it is better to seek help from specialists.

After the first elements have been adjusted, you can begin adjusting the idle speed screw, performing the operation in the following sequence:

Having activated the engine, you should carefully begin to turn the screw T clockwise;
it is necessary to rotate the element until the unit chain begins to rotate;
at the next stage, the screw must be turned in the opposite direction to stop the rotating movements of the chain.

To understand that it was possible to correctly set the idle speed, uniform operation of the engine, in any direction, with the necessary reserve of revolutions, while the chain rotates, will help.

The above instructions for adjusting the Husqvarna 236 carburetor will greatly simplify the work. But if some stage still causes difficulties, everyone can find a hint by visiting an Internet resource and watching a video tutorial on this topic.

You can independently understand that the work was done correctly by the operation of the engine, which should accelerate instantly and make a four-stroke sound at full throttle. If the unit starts with difficulty and the engine cannot accelerate immediately, the first screw should be readjusted again to enrich the lean mixture.

Modern chainsaws have a complex system and consist of several main components that periodically require maintenance and adjustment. In this article we will talk about how to adjust the carburetor on a Husqvarna chainsaw.

Reviews of the Husqvarna 135 chainsaw

Reviews of Husqvarna 135 should be divided into two categories. From users and from those who repair them. As for the latter, everything is in order. A large number of spare parts, both original and analogues, good reliability and maintainability (unlike many Chinese “analogs”) make the saw a welcome guest in any workshop. Moreover, she gets there quite rarely. However, it also has disadvantages from a repair point of view. First of all, there are a large number of fragile plastic parts that, if they break, are difficult to replace.

Chainsaw users note ease of use, low weight, a very convenient chain tensioner, and convenient control handles, which, unlike the calm ones, you are not afraid of breaking as advantages.

In total, the sites contain dozens of reviews from Husqvarne 135, but most of them are positive. There are also negative reviews indicating shortcomings. In some cases, the chainsaw quickly broke down before it was even out of warranty. Having a warranty repair or replacement will help save the buyer from negativity in such a situation.
