Don't apologize for cleaning a machine before working on it. It's a sign of good workmanship.

Daddy always said integrity is seen a multitude of ways! It’s Worth it to clean but also is personification of you in your work!!

Whatever the customer wants.

The gamble here, is whether cleaning and a carb rebuild kit will fix the problem. As much as I prefer to rebuild an OEM one, I have had quite a few that no longer worked after rebuild. Those parts aren't usually something you can return, so you would be out those funds. Whereas an aftermarket carb, if it doesn't work or leaks, you can always return it. If it is not a carb style you see many of, I would vote for an aftermarket one. On a separate note, what is the heavy duty degreaser you are using? The ability of that to clear away so much grease and grime without any real agitation is incredible!

I would usually get the OEM diaphragm kit. Sometimes i've had good luck with the aftermarket diaphragm kits and sometimes they don't work so good

I would get the OEM diaphragm kit. If i have the chance i always repair the factory parts because they are the best. Great example of this is car AC compressors.

Since you know it runs I would spend the money on a new carb. Husqvarna makes an excellent saw and I think it's worth it. That saw will run for many years to come.

OEM diaphragms. I used an aftermarket carb kit by Oregon, and it was a disaster. First time I used an aftermarket carb kit, and that will be the last time.

I would replace the carb. Have had much success with the Hipa brand. It's $18.75 from their website. Similar prices on eBay and Amazon.

I would go for the aftermarket and steal the diaphragm and gaskets from it to use on the original carb if they fit

Great video! It might be worthwhile to pick up a small ultrasonic cleaner, so you can clean carburetors and other small parts.

Make your own diaphram!

Definitely an awesome saw!!! You know what I love about your channel? Is that you take the time to answer your subs questions. You have almost 70 thousand subscribers and you read and comment to all who comment. You even comment back on several year old videos. Half the KZfaqrs don't even answer back when someone comments!! I don't know about the rest of your subscribers, but to me that mean more than anything. Thank you for everything you do to share your knowledge and tricks!! Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving

I'm a cheap skate! I been using a Remington, 14", electric chainsaw for about 20 years. It's used about 4 times a year for everything from trimming to cutting down my emerald ash borer ash trees. So if I get another chain saw; I think it'll be another electric.

try to save the original diaphragm by putting it in brake fluid for a night or a bit more, that will make it a little softer again and if the chainsaw works fine just buy the diaphragms

I'd put an OEM kit in the carb.

I would definitely go with the aftermarket carb.

I wouldn’t waste anytime and order the rebuild kit. This saw is very good and isn’t cheap to buy. Once it’s fixed it’ll last a long time, providing the owner drains the fluids before storing it.

I would go with the knock off carb they work the same

My skills on these have improved over the last year, but carb problems are still a weakness. I would want to replace the carb, instead of rebuilding it, so I would look at Hipa and see if they have the carb to fit your “special” machine.

nice

Aftermarket carb is the way I'd go

Now that I have a 450 rancher I kind of miss my 240. I’ve been cutting some trees down and the 450 fantastic for that but doing small work like limbing gets tiring. I would definitely front the money for original parts for customers tools, but talk to the owner if he’s alright with that. But if it were my chainsaw I would try to make it work with aftermarket parts.

I love your videos I watch all of them

I think the options I have on the 440 are a knockoff carb. I already priced an OEM carb and it was $140+ and the hi-speed jet is wrung off in the carb body trying to get it to lean down some. AND I don't want another carb that has a chance to act likie the same OEM job BUT it runs good enough for now. The son-in-law will end up with it so HE can delve into it if he wants. I do need to start it because it hasn't been run in maybe a year BUT has Tru-fuel in it so it ought to go after 10 pulls or so. No primer on this one. Happy day and Blessings!

I would get the OEM repair kit. Second I would buy an aftermarket HIPA carb. I have had very good luck using the HIPA brand. Thanks for the video.

I usually ask my customers, commercial guys get oem parts home owners usually get after market

Working on a Husqvarna 240 saw and have done everything (cleaned carburetor, tune up, adjusted carburetor). However, it still runs and dies. Cheap Chinese carburetor on the way…

I would go with the oe diaphragm kit. I have had good luck with them. Also your local small engine shop, or maybe even the dealer (if it is a servicing dealer) might be able to get a rotary, stens, or possibly oregon (if oregon makes them) aftermarket kit. They all seem to be of good quality.

I finally ordered a compression tester from one of your affiliate links. And nice job on the repair! I just got a Husqvarna 142 for $10 and it needs a lot of work lol.

Good day Boy I missed this video. 25.00 with oem kit. Thanks

I got a trimmer with a odd recoil and the new part was more than what I paid so I used a welder

One thing I haven't tried but have thought about for difficult to obtain diaphragms is soaking them in a seal sweller, such as atp at-205 re seal. Considering the probably extremely low hours on that saw, if it were mine, I'd probably splurge for the oem carb if a reasonably priced rebuild kit wasn't available.

honnestly i got the same carb on a jonsored cs2240 and i bought a carb from amazon at like 20$ canadian and it works like the oem and its bean like 2 years ahah so take an after market carb

I always give my customers the choice and let them know the pro's and con's but then i do this for a living but seeing as it is a new saw and hardly been used i would go oem diaphragm's.

if that was my own personal Chainsaw i,d start off with a rebuild kit for starters and if it works that,s awesome and if not then Plan B would be then next best thing to cure the problem for good which is replacing the carburetor aka carby.

I would get a rebuild kit for it 👍🙏👍🙏

I often just wet the air filter with fuel to check if they'll kick

I'd say go for a diafragm kit. However, it seems every diafragm uses the same material so it's entirely possible that you might be able to buy a roll of the stuff and cut out a new one. However, I could be overlooking something. I'd go for the cheapest option. If the knockoff rebuild kit is cheapest to purchase, get that. If the 25 dollar diafragms are cheapest, get those. It all depends on who's selling what.

I'd stick to authentic rebuild kit as well. It's still cheaper than full original carb, but if you're using your chainsaw (or any piece of anything) reasonable amount of time, I wouldn't rely on knock-off parts in any way, shape or form and avoid them at any cost. I mean, it's cheaper to get good parts or even full carb then having your 200-300$+ chainsaw catch fire.

Hey bro what's up? I like how this video is short but still filled with information. I'm thinking to replace the carburetor and done but as you said it is a special carburetor so I guess my choice would be to get the rebuild kit and call that George bro.

Did you have that solution laying around? I haven't seen you try to rejuvenate the pumping diaphragm in a while. Also AT 205 is really good as well. You only need a little bit to soak the rubber parts in.

I don't think this has been brought up before: The small plastic bung on fuel return lines in most 2 strokes. Is it there just to retain the line or regulate fuel flow?

For one, if the owner wants the saw back, they need to pay for the parts that you want to get to make it easier on yourself. Have good days!

Hey bro, I just bought a gallon of that harbor freight super heavy duty degreaser. I mixed it to 20:1 and gave it a try on my stihl 021 and the stuff is so weak that the old degreaser that I used is stronger. Do you mix it at a heavier ratio or do you use the other degreaser that they sell?

I'd probably go with the OEM diaphragm kit or you could try using your rejuvenation liquid.

Chainsaw? More like Painsaw!

I got a mower but with no manual and I went online but can not find what oil it uses what would you do

That is a hard decision to make on which way to fix it

I hate working on Husqvarna for that exact reason. You have to take the whole thing apart just to get to one dumb thing

as ive seen in your videos. OEM is the best choice. Aftermarker "3rd party" are questionable and in some cases outright wrong. Id get an oem carb kit. you said prices on the diaphrams. I doubt a few gaskets add that much to your 25 dollar investment. 😅 plus ive seen enough content from folks like mustie1 to know carb kits that are from questionable sources can also be wrong. sometimes...so oem for sure. If it were mine. not a "customers" then all bets are off. id get whatever is cheapest 🤣

Buy a cheap carb and just modify it. Chances are by the time the next owner needs to work on it the saw parts will be obsolete and the model of the saw will be long discontinued to even notice it’s got an aftermarket carb on it

I'm getting the carb kit , um never oem those crooks er um thieves um well high priced parts ! Cheap carb not for a Husqvarna I'll go the extra yard 🤷

Get a knock off carb but the choice is yours.

Ask the owner what he wants to do and he buys the parts or the kit.

The only place that a Husqvarna chainsaw belongs is in the garbage. Because as we all know, STIHL RUNS THE YARD. 😊👍🏿 #stihlpower

Good morning brother. I lost your email when I switched phones. Can you DM me with that again somehow? I have some info for you.
