Believe it or not, I have a 55 here too!!! Not planning to look at it for a while, but keep me informed of any necessary fix. I was only told "it does not run, it is yours".

Actually, I have no need for it, but if I get it fixed it will likely go to someone else.
I know Jeff has a 262 and has been looking for another husky ever since.

easy to work on. Mostly straight gas. Dull chain overheat. Or intake parts problems

Will, my problem is that it came from one relative in anticipation that it would go to another relative, so I am not really at liberty right now to do that.

Just put a D-ring on it...lol...
You need to get out more Jeefus ............. this "D" ring you speak of will probably do more damage to your fingers and skin than the elastostart would if the decomp was plugged.

Fear not though my fine (former) law upholding friend ......... the Husky decomp plan saves the day, yet again

Are the Husqvarnas decomp better for that because of the larger port in the button? Because the ms441 I just put together is pretty stout, and will pop the decomp sometimes without even firing.

They stay open better, especially on saws that have been machined to raise compression, plus you can drill them if they are borderline, which gets them to work again.

One of these days, I am going to take a few of these Stihl decomps and see about adding additional openings to them, see if it helps
