If the spark plug still does not fire, the ignition system should be replaced.
  • Page 32: Fuel System

    Repair instructions 7.8 Fuel system In addition to the fuel tank and carburettor, the fuel system consists of the air filter, fuel filter and tank venting. All these components interact so that the engine receives the optimal mixture of fuel and air to make it as efficient as possible.
  • Page 33: Fuel Pump

    Repair instructions 7.11 Replacing the fuel filter The fuel hose in the tank contains a fuel filter. It is accessible through the fill hole. Pull out the filter with your fingers or with help of tool 502 50 83-01. If the filter is not too dirty, its surface can be cleaned with a brush.
  • Page 34 Repair instructions The carburettor’s design The carburettor can be divided into three different functional units: the metering unit, the blending unit, and the pump unit The metering unit The needles (A) and the fuel control functions are located here. The needle valve (B) and control diaphragm (C) are vital to the carburettor’s function.
  • Page 35 Repair instructions 7.14 Dismantling the carburettor Carefully remove the metering diaphragm (A) and gasket (B). Check the diaphragm for holes and wear on the pin (C). Replace the diaphragm if required. Connect pressure tester 531 03 06-23 to the fuel hose nipple.

  • Page 37: Special Tools

    Repair instructions Unscrew the jet needles. Make sure they are clean and not damaged on the tip of the needle. NOTE! Note how the jets are positioned. (For example, the H-needle is a little shorter than the L-needle). Press out the main jet (A) with a suitable punch. Remove the plug (B).
  • Page 38 Repair instructions 7.15 Assembling the carburettor • Blow all channels in the carburettor compart- ment clean • Mount a new plug (A). Use a suitable punch to get a completely tight seal. • Press in a new main jet (B). • Mount the valves and springs. Tip! Any numbers on the valves should be able to be read from the outside. Make sure valves has a perfekt seal by locking at the edge of the valve with tha carburettor backlit, a light from the choke side.
  • Page 39 Repair instructions Attach the various parts of the measuring unit in the reverse order as set out for dismantling. The lever arm height should be 0,66 mm +-0,16 mm under carburettor housing plane. Too high setting = too much fuel. Too low setting = too little fuel.
  • Page 40 Repair instructions 5. Connect the throttle cable on the carburettor with the help of flat nose pliers. Check that the cable sits correctly in the guide on the clutch housing (A) and that it sits correctly in the cut-out (B) of the insulator. 6.

  • Page 43 Repair instructions Take out the flywheel nut (A). Rotor nut width across flats (WAF) M8 (WAF 12 NOTE! Slowly turn the rotor counterclockwise, and after applying the stopper (special tool) lightly to the piston head, loosen the nut. The piston head could be dama- ged if force is applied too sharply when loosening the nut.
  • Page 44 Repair instructions 7.18 Assembling the flywheel, ignition module and centrifugal clutch When setting the key on the crankshaft, make sure the end face of the key is parallel with the crankshaft. Fix the piston in place with the stopper (special tool) and tighten the rotor nut.

  • Page 46 Repair instructions Pull the cylinder straight up without turning it. There is a risk that a piston ring may break. Remove the piston pin circlips. Use small flat nose pliers and remove the piston pin circlips. TIP! Keep your thumb over the circlip to prevent it from flying out.
  • Page 47 Repair instructions 7.20 Cleaning, inspection After dismantling, clean the individual components: Scrape carbon deposits from the top of the piston. Scrape carbon deposits from the cylinder’s combustion chamber. Scrape carbon deposits from the cylinder’s exhaust port. NOTE! Scrape carefully off soot deposits using a not too sharp tool so as not to damage the soft aluminium parts.
  • Page 48 Mixing ratio: 1:50 (2%). If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available another good quality two-stroke oil can be used. Mixing ratio: 1:33 (3%) or 1:25 (4%). - English...
  • Page 49 Repair instructions Piston scoring caused by heavy carbon deposits Too heavy carbon depositing can cause damage similar to that caused by insufficient lubrication. However, the piston skirt has a darker colour caused by the hot combustion gases that are blown past the piston. This type of piston damage starts at the exhaust port where carbon deposits can become loose and get trapped between the piston and the cylinder...
  • Page 50 Repair instructions Piston ring guide pin vibrated loose A too high engine speed can cause the ends of the piston ring to hammer against the guide pin when the piston ring moves in its groove. The intensive hammering can drive out the pin through the top of the piston causing serious damage also to the cylinder.
  • Page 51 Repair instructions Foreign objects Everything other than clean air and pure fuel that enters the engine’s inlet port causes some type of abnormal wear or damage to the cylinder and piston. This type of increased wear shows on the piston’s inlet side starting at the lower edge of the piston skirt.

Lubricate the piston pin’s needle bearing with a few drops of engine oil. NOTE! Place a rag in the crankcase opening to prevent the circlip from falling into the...
  • Page 55 Repair instructions 7.22 Dismantling crankshaft and crank- case The task of the crankshaft is to transform the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotation. This requires a stable design withstanding immense pressure and rotational and bending strain, as well as high rotational speed.
  • Page 56 Repair instructions nspect the small end of the connecting rod. If seizure marks or discolouration are found in the bearing track the crankshaft must be replaced. Check the crank bearing. The connecting rod shall not have any radial play (up and down). It should, however, have axial play, in order to ensure good lubrication of the crank bearing among other things.
  • Page 57 Repair instructions 7.23 Assembling the crankshaft and crankcase Check the crankshaft as set out in the section ”Inspecting the crankshaft”. Fit the new bearing in the crankcase using a press tool. During press fit of the bearing don’t push the inner bearing to fit Assemble the piston on the crankshaft.
  • Page 58: Drive Shaft

    Repair instructions 7.24 Replacing the clutch drum and drive shaft The centrifugal clutch has the task of transferring the power from the engine to the cutting equip- ment’s drive shaft. As the name implies, it works according to a centrifugal principle. This means the clutch’s friction shoes are thrown outwards towards the clutch drum at a certain engine speed.
  • Page 59 Repair instructions Remove the screw (A) and screw (B) that hol- ding the clamp connection for the shaft. Remove the two screws holding the clutch hou- sing cover. Pull apart the shaft from the clutch housing. English -...

Remove the small circlip from around the shaft on the clutch drum using suitable circlip pliers. 515 41 95-01 Dismantle the clutch drum by using a specila tool, 581 44 10-01.
  • Page 61 Repair instructions 7.26 Bevel gear The angle gear has two purposes: The first is to gear down the engine’s high speed to better suit the lower speed a saw blade or trimmer requires to work efficiently. Secondly, the angle gear contributes towards the operator’s working stance so that it is comfortable and at the same time efficient.
  • Page 62 Repair instructions Remove the screw Heat the entire angle gear using a hot air gun to approx. 110°C. Knock the gear against a wooden block so that the input axle and the bearing fall out. Now lift out the output axle. Wear protective gloves.
  • Page 63 Repair instructions 7.28 Assembling the bevel gear Clean all component parts and replace if damaged or worn. Fit the bearings on respective axles. This is easier if the bearings are heated to approx. 110°C using a hot air gun. The bearings on the input axle are sealed on one side.
