Adjusting the carburetor

The parameters of traction and efficiency of the electric power unit depend on the correct adjustment of the fuel system. The work involves preliminary cleaning of the air absorber and warming up the engine to working temperature. Adjustment of the carburetor is made in a preset sequence by turning the quantity and quality screws.

The factory tuning takes place according to the average parameters, so it is necessary to adjust it taking into account external factors. A properly tuned engine is characterized by good injectivity, rpm stability in all modes, absence of increased smoke and detonation noise.

If the tuning does not give the desired result, you should make sure the fuel quality, the absence of water capacity in the carburetor, the cleanliness of the injectors and the presence of the recommended release in the spark plug instructions.

Earpiece

The list of replacement cutters includes a 14- or 16-inch proprietary bar and a HUSKWARNA N45 brand saw chain with 3/8-inch to 1-inch levels with a crown-type drive sprocket. The saw mechanism provides a smooth, forward and backward transition to the operating and idle modes.

When choosing a set of another brand, you should consider the power of the engine, the pitch and number of links, the configuration of the crown of the leading star. The price of the set, taking into account the quality and durability of operation, can vary significantly.

Lubrication and safety systems

The design of the saw provides lubrication and cooling of the headset through the oil supply. Chain oil is supplied to the pump inlet with a constant capacity of 13 ml/min in a volume of 250 ml in the body of the tank.

The lack of automatic dosing is compensated for by the simple design of the pump and its virtually trouble-free operation.

In the event of kickback or a dangerous situation, the movement of the chain is blocked by an inertial emergency stop mechanism.

The brake is activated by moving the safety barrier forward. Operating wear of the chain is compensated by a side-mounted tensioner.

Pros and cons of the chainsaw

Advantages of this model:

• high quality of materials used and factory assembly, which contributes to the development of the allocated resource with minimal operating costs;
• optimal weight to power ratio;
• balance and comfortable grip;
• sufficiently powerful and economical for its working volume engine with a considerable torque reserve;
• comfortable level of vibration and noise, allowing the operator to increase the productivity of sawing by reducing the rest intervals.

No significant shortcomings in the design of the Husqvarna 135 saw have been identified. Negative reviews include the absence of automatic saw chain lubrication and visual control of fuel and oil consumption, high cost of branded spare parts and lubrication consumables.

The cost of a new saw in the central and remote regions is slightly different. The latter prices are in the range of 12400-13000 thousand rubles. The demand for used analogues is relatively low. The cost of a used saw in good technical condition and with 50% resource reserve starts from 6000-7000 rubles.

The most popular are private proposals for the sale of spare parts at a discount of 15% of the base price.

analogues

Chainsaw equipment from the Husqvarna brand belongs to the category of high-demand products, so the 135 model has few competitors. These are identical chainsaws in performance, cost and operational reliability – STIHL MS 180-16, Alpina A 4500 and Oleo-Mac GS 35C-16.

owner reviews

It seems that the advertisers of the 135 model have given somewhat exaggerated praise. The new tool in terms of exhaust noise is at the level of Chinese consumer goods, I urgently needed to buy headphones. Starting the engine on 2-3 attempts holds revs well, but while very hot. Inconvenient access to the filler necks, the reliability of the tensioner does not inspire confidence. Stefan

After many years of using chainsaws and lawnmowers Husqvarna confidence in the products of this manufacturer has increased significantly. Proper operation and skilled maintenance, the rejection of substitutes – a guarantee of trouble-free operation of not only professional but also domestic machinery. Vadim

My neighbor’s new Husqvarna 135 chain saw started up in a 26-degree cold and at one go cut a 30 cm diameter oak trunk in half – those were the most convincing arguments in favor of choosing this particular model, so I am already the owner for the second week. The saw is characterized by a comfortable grip, smooth start and chain travel. The brake switch is, in my opinion, too hard, but it works right out of the box. The tank lasts 35-40 minutes. That’s not bad, but the chain oil is pretty expensive, and the pump is over-running. Fortunately, there are some out-of-the-box solutions to this problem. Ivan Nikolaevich

owner reviews

Oleg, 33

The saw is great, it fully pays for its price and even more. Due to the low weight, it is comfortable in height, the quality is excellent. When I bought it (2.5 years ago) I had to choose between the 135 and 140 models – looked for a long time for the differences but did not find any, I am satisfied with my purchase.

The advantages: Husqvarna is powerful, light weight, durable, excellent handling.

Disadvantages: I have not found.

Alexander, 39

I bought a Husqvarna 135 six months ago. It was working fine, working as it should, but then suddenly stalled. The service refused to repair (piston jammed), wrote that I used the wrong oil (took Tilevs. The best) and gasoline (filled the best, 95!). That’s how I came to this saw – now what!!!? It costs a lot of money.

Pros: Husqvarna saws well.

Disadvantages: Broke quickly, the service refused, it is also impossible to change, complete garbage.

I bought a Datsha and got a Husqvarna. I decided to go with the 135 model, it is one of the latest models, plus it is small and weighs a lot. We redid the site: removed the bushes and old trees, cut down the sauna, and used the waste as firewood. The saw came in handy in the rooms and in the construction. I take care of it strictly according to instructions – I learned by bitter experience with my previous device (“bison” didn’t last long).

Advantages: Perfectly cuts, compact, handy, powerful, does not break.
