Real characteristics of the Chinese saw Husqvarna 365 XP

The Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is a professional tool produced by the Swedish company Husqvarna, which launched the production of garden and construction tools back in 1970. Before this, starting from its founding (1689), weapons for the Swedish army were produced under the Husqvarna brand. The retraining took place at the highest level, the company quickly got used to it and conquered the world market. Today, the company's products are synonymous with quality and reliability; they are equipment trusted by millions.

Fake Husqvarna 365XP: how to distinguish it from the original?

One of the best versions of the Husqvarna saw became the basis for the creation of a technically imperfect and short-lived Chinese analogue, known as the Husqvarna 365XP.
China practices the sale of counterfeit goods, the price of which is significantly lower than the cost of the branded product.

The original is easy to distinguish from the most successful fake:

  • due to the low quality of the materials used, in particular the plastic of the housing, careless finishing of the surface of the crankcase and other structural parts;
  • by a non-standard logo of a different color and a distorted name such as HusBvarna or Huschvarna;
  • on a sticker instead of a metal nameplate;
  • due to the black color of the plastic body parts, branded chainsaws use only dark gray materials.

The average cost of a Chinese counterfeit is 6-8 thousand less, but the cost savings do not compensate for the high costs of maintaining an instrument that is imperfect in many respects in good technical condition.

In a licensed dealer network, the average cost of the 365th model of a Husqvarna chainsaw is 30 thousand rubles. This indicator is typical for the main range of branded chainsaw equipment of a professional level.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Walbro HD 6B carburetor

Undoubtedly, this carburetor has many advantages. Here are some of them:

  1. High-quality assembly of the carburetor and its high reliability. With proper and timely carburetor care, your chainsaw can serve you for many years. Numerous reviews on the Internet only confirm this.
  2. Convenient carburetor design. The membrane in the pulse chamber allows you to pump fuel when working in any position of the chainsaw, be it horizontal, vertical or side cutting. This is very convenient, unlike chainsaws with float-type carburetors, where fuel enters the carburetor by gravity and when cutting sideways the saw simply stalls.

Of the minuses, I would like to note the absence of a primer on the carburetor or a heating system for it. In Russia, it is often necessary to operate a saw in the winter season. In severe frosts, starting problems sometimes occur.

When choosing a carburetor, there is a chance of running into a fake. To avoid buying a counterfeit, before purchasing, watch the following video, which shows in detail what the factory packaging and the Zama carburetor itself for the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw look like.

DIY repair

If any malfunctions occur with the Husqvarna 365SP chainsaw, for diagnostics and repairs, it is better to contact the manufacturer’s service center, since this is a very complex tool and at the same time not cheap. Self-repair, without certain skills, can only aggravate the situation, and as a result you will have to pay more, even if the saw simply needs to replace the throttle cable.

Of course, in cases where it is not possible to contact experienced official service technicians, you can repair the chainsaw yourself, but for this you will need a special tool. Namely:

  • a vacuum gauge is a device designed to check the tightness of the carburetor and engine crankcase;
  • special Husqvarna screwdriver for removing the muffler and cylinder;
  • electronic tachometer to determine the number of engine revolutions and correct carburetor adjustment;
  • piston stopper, in order to block the crankshaft and unscrew the flywheel mounting nut and the clutch;
  • compressor for cleaning the saw from dust and dirt.

Having all these tools and some knowledge of how a two-stroke engine works, you can get to work.

When disassembling and assembling a chainsaw, detailing can help, and it will also be necessary in order to order spare parts.

To get acquainted with the repair process, below you can watch a video that shows how the Husqvarna 365 SP is disassembled and reassembled. The first part of the video is disassembly:

The second part of the video is assembly:

Detailing

Detailing is a technical document that contains drawings of all parts of the chainsaw and their part numbers. This document also indicates the installation procedure for all elements of the saw, which is very convenient, because after the saw is disassembled, you can easily forget where everything was.

After reviewing the details, you will be able to understand the structure of the chainsaw and, accordingly, correctly disassemble and reassemble it.

Tip: if after assembling the chainsaw you still have extra parts or fasteners, you can determine where they are installed using detailing.

Operating instructions

It is necessary to have instructions included with the power tool. The manual answers all the saw user's questions, allowing him to independently assemble (disassemble) the tool, make repairs, adjust the carburetor, and learn how to operate the tool.

The instructions consist of the following sections:

Preparatory stages

Long-term operation of the Husqvarna 365 xp professional chainsaw is achieved by the following actions:

  1. Properly assemble gas powered tools.
  2. Correctly install the bar, put on and tension the chain.
  3. The chainsaw is filled with a flammable mixture (for 1 liter of AI 90-93 gasoline, take 100 ml of Husqvarna oil for two-stroke engines, ratio 50/1).
  4. The oil tank is filled with original chain lubrication oil; if it is not commercially available, you can use ER 90 transmission oil instead of the original one.
  5. The chainsaw starts.
  6. Idle speed, brake operation and lubrication supply to the chain are checked.

Run-in

Break-in time is 10 hours. During this period, the Husqvarna chainsaw is used with minimal loads; this is necessary for grinding in the moving parts of the engine, including the piston.

Service

The main maintenance steps are as follows:

  • monitor the fullness of fuel and lubricant tanks;
  • check the condition of the saw bar;
  • sharpen the chain in a timely manner;
  • cleaning the filter;
  • spark plug maintenance;
  • replacing a worn sprocket;
  • cleaning petrol tools after each use;
  • cleaning oil channels;
  • carburetor adjustment;
  • debugging the brake system.

Device, maintenance instructions

The design of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is no different from that of all the latest generation chainsaws from Husqvarna. Conventionally, the saw can be divided into two important parts: this is the body with the fuel tank, engine, on and off levers, holders and brake, as well as the cutting part, consisting of a bar and chain. The manufacturer's logo is printed on the cutting part. The chainsaw body is made of bright orange plastic.

Maintenance rules for the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw, according to the instructions:

  • after each work, clean the surface of the saw from debris and sawdust;
  • check the chain for damage and burrs;
  • control the chain tension;
  • Once every four weeks, prepare a fresh fuel mixture, completely clean the tank of old fuel, and fill in new fuel;
  • store the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw in a dry place, without fuel or oil;
  • Before each use, make sure there is enough chain lubrication for normal operation;
  • Adjust the carburetor every 100 hours;
  • replace the spark plug every 100 hours, check the condition of the spark plug every 50 hours, clean the surface from carbon deposits;
  • Clean the muffler of carbon deposits every 50 operating hours;
  • Monitor the condition of the body, tire, handle of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw, and the tension of the saw chain.

Fuel and oil, lubricants

The most suitable type of fuel for the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw: gasoline AI-95, AI-92.

Oil for mixing with gasoline: for two-stroke air-cooled engines, oil manufacturer Husqvarna or Partner.

Husqvarna HP 2-stroke oil Oil for two-stroke engines PARTNER

To lubricate the chainsaw bar and chain, use specific lubricants from the same manufacturers. It is forbidden to use waste or cheap materials to lubricate the chainsaw; this leads to rapid wear of the tool and a decrease in performance.

Chainsaw operating time

The average operating time of a Husqvarna 365 chainsaw with an initially full tank of fuel is about 60 minutes. For more uniform combustion of fuel in the chamber, it is recommended to adhere to an operating mode in which the number of revolutions at the moment when the chain and bar are involved in cutting does not exceed 8000-9000 per minute. You should also avoid maximum idle speeds (without load).

Let's look at the main problems that the owner of a Husqvarna 365 chainsaw may encounter.

Table 1.

MalfunctionCauseWay to solve the problem
1. Clogged air filter, as a result, a decrease in power and disruption of the normal function of the chainsaw.The air filter on Husqvarna chainsaws is larger than that of other models, so people often forget to clean it on time. A clogged filter is dangerous to the engine and overall operation of the saw. Clean the air filter from accumulated debris and dust in a timely manner (at least once every 40-50 hours of operation).
2. The chainsaw stalls during operation and does not turn on even when the fuel tank is full.Low quality fuel. Husqvarna chainsaws are sensitive to old fuel, as well as low-quality oils. Use only recommended oils and good gasoline, and do not store the fuel mixture for more than 4 weeks.
3. Damage to the piston group, failure of the crankshaft, connecting rod, and cylinders.The carburetor is not adjusted, the carburetor is poorly calibrated.Adjust the carburetor yourself or with the help of service specialists.

The Husqvarna 365 XP chainsaw has nothing to do with the Husqvarna AB model range. This is another Chinese fake, like the Husqvarna 5200 chainsaw. These two saws are as similar as two peas in a pod. The only difference is the name on the sticker.

The model name is very similar to one of the original saws. All the difference lies in one letter - XP

(China), SP

(original).
Real Husqvarna 365 chainsaws are available in only two modifications: 365 SP, 365
H. As a last resort, the name can consist only of numbers, without letters.

When making purchases through online stores, you need to be very vigilant. Some unscrupulous sellers post technical specifications and photographs of the original chainsaw, but in reality they are only selling a Chinese counterfeit. To avoid encountering such sellers, we recommend making purchases only in trusted online stores.

Basic equipment: saw, bar, chain, instructions, special key

How to adjust the carburetor on a Husqvarna 365 chainsaw?

Before you start setting up the Husqvarna 365 carburetor, you should make sure that the fuel system and hoses through which fuel is supplied to the carburetor are clean and in good condition. The air filter of the tool should also be clean. Otherwise, the carburetor will not receive the air necessary to enrich the fuel.

  1. First, set the carburetor to factory settings on the saw with the engine turned off. They are indicated in the model's instruction manual;
  2. Then you need to start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to warm up;
  3. As soon as the engine cylinder warms up, you will need to start turning the adjusting bolt L. This must be done until the engine spins up to maximum speed. Immediately after this, the standard bolt L must be turned 1/4 turn in the opposite direction;
  4. If, after the procedure has been completed, the saw chain begins to rotate on the bar, then you need to reduce the number of idle speeds. To do this, you will need to adjust the position of the bolt indicated by the letter T;
  5. Next, you need to configure the Husqvarna 365 to operate at maximum engine speeds and adjust their number. To make more precise adjustments, you will need to connect a tachometer to the running saw. Then you should hold down the gas lever and check the data on the tachometer. If the speed on the device differs from the maximum speed indicated in the saw instructions, then their number will need to be adjusted by turning bolt H.

After adjusting the carburetor, the Husqvarna 365 will quickly gain and lose speed, and also operate more stably at any crankshaft speed. If, after adjusting the carburetor, the saw chain rotates when the engine is idling, then you need to adjust the position of the bolt T. To do this, the adjusting screw will need to be turned in different directions until the chain stops.

Reviews from professionals

It is difficult to evaluate the capabilities of a chainsaw without picking it up. For this reason, we invite you to read the review of Husqvarna 365, which was left by a professional feller.

Over several years of use, I have never encountered any startup problems. I have to work full time, and the saw performs well. There is even more power than necessary, but more is better than less. I tested the chainsaw according to the algorithm specified in the instructions and generally found a lot of interesting things in it, even for me. Before I got the 365, I used less powerful models of saws for work, and after I tried sawing with it, I simply fell in love. The saw works smoothly, fits well into the wood, of course, if you take care of the chain and in general it is quite easy to maintain. I am 100% satisfied with the saw.

Husqvarna 365 Chinese

If you analyze the actual technical characteristics of the Chinese version of Husqvarna 365, you can see a number of shortcomings and inconsistencies with the real product. Surprisingly, in addition to false characteristics, the Chinese can point to Made in Sweden chainsaws. But the “puncture” of the Chinese is still noticeable by the XP designation in the model name.

According to the technical characteristics, we see that the engine received a power of 2.5 kW, the tire received a reduced length of 450 mm, whereas in the original this figure reaches 700 mm. If you order an original chainsaw on the company’s website, you will see a cost of approximately 36,000 rubles, while a copy can be offered at an incredibly low price of 8 to 13 thousand rubles. This also gives away, because the price of a branded chainsaw cannot be so different.

The quality of the parts is at the Chinese level, and it’s not even branded China, it’s just an attempt to replace the parts with cheap ones. It will also be interesting that the original spare parts from Husqvarna 365 will not be suitable for a fake, it will hardly even be possible to repair it. If the chainsaw breaks down and you feel sorry for throwing it away, you can solve the problem by selecting parts specifically for the Chinese version of the 365 XP.

If you are interested in an original chainsaw, we recommend looking at our review of the Husqvarna 365 model. You will be able to compare the data and find differences with the fake.

Specifications

The actual technical characteristics of the Chinese Husqvarna differ significantly from the original model. While browsing online stores, we found a lot of possible characteristics with different meanings. It turns out that finding out the real parameters is not so easy. However, in order to write this article, we had to personally visit a couple of dozen stores to find the Chinese Husqvarna 365 XP and find out the characteristics declared by the Chinese. Here's what we found out:

  • Max Cutting Diameter: 450 mm;
  • Rated Output Power: 2500 W;
  • No-Load speed: 3000 r/min.

No matter how funny it may sound, under these parameters there is a simple inscription - Made in Sweden. Although at the very top of the sticker is Husqvarna 365 XP. The letters XP, as far as we know, indicate a fake!

Deciphering the names of the characteristics, we conclude that the maximum tire length is 450 mm. The power of the chainsaw engine is 2.5 kW. Rotation speed without load is 3000 rpm.

Let's compare the technical specifications with the original. The engine power of a real Husqvarna is 3.4 kW, which is 0.9 kW more. The maximum tire length is 700 mm, which is 250 mm longer. The crankshaft rotation speed at idle is 2700. As you can see, the original is ahead of the fake in absolutely all characteristics.

Today, the cost of a chainsaw, according to official data from the company’s website, is 35,990 rubles. The price for a fake varies from 8,000 to 14,000 rubles (this is how much they ask, in fact the price tag should be no more than 6,000 rubles).

Purpose

Headset

The cutting unit is included in the category of replaceable equipment. The standard kit consists of a proprietary 18-inch guide bar and a wear-resistant chain model H42, with a standard pitch of 3/8 inches.

The bar and chain are lubricated and cooled by the automatic supply of oil to the working area, liquid that is taken from a 420 ml oil tank located in the housing. The use of an oil pump with adjustable performance allows you to consume oil with 50% savings.

The lubrication system is designed for a certain density of chain oil. The use of substitutes can seriously affect the performance and other operating parameters of the oil pump, and the service life of the headset.

Properties and features of alternative applications

Chinese chainsaw Husqvarna 5 200

In recent years, the Chinese have increasingly begun to create counterfeits of well-known brands, and some counterfeits can be made acceptable, while others are complete failures. It is the model 5 200 chainsaw that is something average on the Russian market, because it seems to be a fake, but not entirely bad and works quite well for several years.

It is extremely easy to distinguish a chainsaw from an original one; if you have ever seen a high-quality branded model (not necessarily Husqvarna), you will see the difference in the quality of materials, including plastic. If you bought a Chinese Husqvarna chainsaw several years ago, then you could still work with the tool for quite a long time. Today's fakes have completely deteriorated in quality; in a couple of weeks, the gears are quite possible to break, since the internal parts are of very poor quality. And the price of current fakes has dropped even more. Therefore, be extremely careful if you are offered to buy Husqvarna 5200 for 3-5 thousand rubles.

Also interesting is the fact that the 5200 model does not exist in the Swedish brand’s lineup. They generally don’t produce chainsaws with such a long digital designation. In recent years, people have realized that the 5200 is a complete Chinese knockoff with no hope of existence, so they are now selling copies under the name Husqvarna 365 XP. Also popular is Husqvarna 372 Chinese and with similar low quality.

The technical characteristics are quite simple; according to those specified by the Chinese manufacturer, the Husqvarna 5200 chainsaw is equipped with a gasoline engine with a volume of 52 cm3 and a power of 3.7 hp. It works thanks to a mixture of gasoline and motor oil. The cheap engine has a significant drawback for Russia - high sensitivity to fuel quality; if you fill with bad gasoline, the engine can completely break down in a couple of days.

It is also indicated that the chainsaw received a good weight of 5.5 kg and a fuel tank capacity of 550 ml. For sawing wood, a saw set of average quality is provided; it is based on a 52 cm long bar; oil is supplied to the chain in a standard way for all chainsaws. For this, an oil tank with a capacity of 320 ml is provided, which is also quite good for China.

Safety was taken care of by equipping the Husqvarna 5,200 device with an emergency chain brake. The positive side is that it is not difficult to find a counterfeit saw set; you can use products from other brands. If you did not take the worst version of a fake, you will be provided with instructions in the kit, which indicate how to set up the chainsaw for work.

Finding a chainsaw today is quite possible; new copies are still sold, and the price for them varies between 3-5 thousand rubles. Of course, they won’t give you a guarantee or other documents for the chainsaw; you’ll cut and rely on the seller’s promises.

Newsdbase.ru

If the person who inserted this information on the site did not make a mistake (this happens, since computer scientists and not sellers often work on sites), then this price is slightly higher than the market price. I think there is an error in the container capacity. But it’s better not to even think about the feasibility of the saw. There are several strange things: what’s the point of buying a car for $5,000 if it’s cheaper to use a taxi when you need a car; what’s the point of buying a cultivator for $800 if it never pays off (unless you grow exotic plants in your garden). Here Convenience matters - you don’t have to go looking for firewood for barbecues if you can cut dry wood. At home, a chainsaw can be used instead of a jigsaw, sawing off planks down to slats (not indoors, of course). But I still don’t understand the meaning of a cultivator.

Basic equipment

The original Husqvarna 365 is assembled and manufactured in Sweden. Copies known by the same name but with the abbreviation "xp" are made in China.

It is very easy to distinguish an original from a fake: a copy of a chainsaw is lighter than the original, official equipment is sold by official representative offices in the regions (regardless of the country in which you purchase the chainsaw), the original Husqvarna has shiny plastic on the body, while the fake one has matte plastic. The most important difference is the price; a fake always costs several times less than the original.

Basic equipment Husqvarna 365:

  • chainsaw assembly (the saw part is represented by a bar and a chain, the working part is represented by a body with control handles, handle holders, a fuel tank and an oil tank);
  • documentation for the device (operating instructions);
  • guarantee;
  • right hand guard;
  • muffler.

Cost of Husqvarna 365 chainsaw

For those who choose a chainsaw, the relevant question is, how much can the new Husqvarna 365 chainsaw model cost? The cost of such a chainsaw in Russia ranges from 39 thousand rubles or more, in Ukraine a chainsaw costs from 16 thousand hryvnia, in the USA, on the official American website of the manufacturer, the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw model is sold for $759.95. A used original has a cost of about 7 thousand hryvnia, a Chinese or Polish “duplicate”, that is, a copy of a chainsaw, costs about 2-3 thousand hryvnia.

Modifications

Husqvarna 365 has only one modification - Husqvarna 365h.

This is a special version of the 365 chainsaw, which is designed for felling trees in deep snow. Externally, the 365 and 365H are very different, because the latter has high handles. Main features of the 365H model:

  • high handles, which have a built-in tank and engine controls, allow you to work with a chainsaw while standing and without bending down;
  • handle rotation function. This option is used when felling, in order to change the location of the tire in space;
  • Also, this Husqvarna model has all the technical features of the 365 SP model.

The technical characteristics of the chainsaw for working in deep snow fully correspond to the characteristics of the 365th model, which cannot be said about the cost, which is almost twice the cost of the base model.

I would like to note that on the Internet you can find information about the Husqvarna 365 sp chainsaw.

365 SP and saw 365, these are the same tool, it’s just that the manufacturer indicates the SP marking, which means special, only on a metal nameplate located on the crankcase next to the oil tank cover, and on the starter sticker it simply says 365. For this reason, problems arise similar misconceptions.

Chinese Husqvarna chainsaws: models 365 XP and 5200

When purchasing a chainsaw, and especially a well-known brand, it is important to carefully pay attention to several parameters. The fact is that recently stores have been offering very favorable prices for chainsaws of the famous Husqvarna brand, and in fact such chainsaws are not branded at all - they are Chinese analogues with a very similar appearance and designations. But the characteristics of chainsaws and, of course, the quality are quite different, so only you can decide whether to buy a branded Husqvarna chainsaw, but at a higher price, or try to save money by risking taking a Chinese counterfeit

But the characteristics of chainsaws and, of course, the quality are quite different, so only you can decide whether to buy a branded Husqvarna chainsaw, but at a higher price, or try to save money by taking the risk of buying a Chinese counterfeit.

But even Chinese versions make sense to be on the Russian market, because there are good examples that will work for their money and be inexpensive to maintain. And not everyone can buy branded Husqvarna; the equipment is one of the best in the world. Of the brand's fakes, the most popular are the 365XP and 5200 models, and the interesting thing is that in terms of characteristics and appearance they are almost identical, the Chinese fakes only differ in stickers.

How to make a choice?

The characteristics eloquently indicate that the Chinese “miracle” is inferior in absolutely all respects, but has one significant advantage - low cost, which ranges from 3000-5000 rubles (depending on the “appetites” of the seller).
Original chainsaws from the Finnish manufacturer have a higher cost, which starts from 10,000 rubles and above. Many people are well aware that by buying Chinese fakes they risk money, and only a few come across high-quality examples of Chinese chainsaws. People who understand the structure of such equipment will, without a doubt, be able to easily cope with any breakdown of the Chinese “analog” - having purchased only the necessary spare parts. And therefore, they can safely buy a Chinese Husqvarna 5200 chainsaw, which, with proper care, will last no less time than its namesake.

One of the common malfunctions is carburetor failure. Therefore, you need to be prepared to adjust the carburetor of the Husqvarna 5200 chainsaw with your own hands. Our previously published article on carburetor adjustment will help you with this.

It is worth considering one point - if the Chinese fake fails, then any service center will refuse to repair you because many components for such saws are difficult to find, and original spare parts are simply not suitable. Therefore, before purchasing such a “product”, you should take into account your capabilities for independently repairing a Chinese chainsaw.

After getting acquainted with the Chinese Husqvarna 5200, we can say the following: this is a fully functional model that will become indispensable when collecting firewood, building a bathhouse or other structures in the garden. If you have the skills to repair such equipment, then you can safely purchase a chainsaw.

Husqvarna 365 chainsaw will not start - reasons and repairs

The main reason for problems starting the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is the poor condition of the spark plug. It may be dry - in this case, you will need to check the fuel system. If necessary, the fuel supply pump should be replaced with a new one. If the candle is wet and a thick layer of soot has accumulated on its ceramic walls, then the part should be cleaned and dried. You will also need to blow out the chainsaw cylinder. To do this, you need to sharply pull the starter cable several times - this will dry the cylinder walls from fuel residues. If after this the Husqvarna 365 still does not start, then the spark plug needs to be replaced.

Often the lack of a spark is due to a breakdown of the electronic ignition unit. This element of the Swedish chainsaw cannot be repaired, so it must be immediately replaced with a new unit.

If the spark plug and ignition unit are working properly, you will need to check the air and fuel filters. If a lot of debris has accumulated in them, then air and fuel will not be able to enter the carburetor. As a result, the tool's motor will not receive the fuel it needs to start. If the filter structure is not damaged, the parts can be cleaned with clean gasoline. If holes or abrasions form in the filters, they will need to be immediately replaced with new elements.

In the future, to avoid problems with starting the Husqvarna 365 engine, you need to use only high-quality fuel with an octane number of at least 90. Motor oil for the tool also plays an important role. It is best to dilute branded oil for 2-stroke engines from Husqvarna in gasoline.

Analogs

Even in its fake status, the Husqvarna 365 XP chainsaw is capable of competing with budget models of equal power, CubCadet CC 3352 and. One of the few advantages of these machines is the provision of warranties by trade organizations and a developed service network.

The Husqvarna 365 XP chainsaw is one of the most controversial models on the modern garden tool market. On the one hand, this is a Chinese analogue of the Husqvarna 5200 chainsaw, which has practically nothing in common with the Swedish brand. On the other hand, this fact does not prevent the 365 model from being in demand among buyers, because the chainsaw has such important qualities as reliability, durability and high performance.

The design of a Chinese chainsaw includes the same elements and mechanisms that can be found in any European-made saw. In addition to them, the Husqvarna 365 XP chainsaw received several additional options that allow it to stand out from other garden tools. Among the design features of the Husqvarna 365 XP chainsaw, the following should be highlighted:

  • The presence of a durable magnesium-aluminum crankcase allows the chainsaw to successfully cope with its tasks even during prolonged operation under extremely high loads;
  • The Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is equipped with a high-quality oil pump, the function of which is to distribute lubricant to the tool chain. If necessary, the volume of supplied oil can be adjusted;
  • Availability of free access to the saw chain tension screw - thanks to this, the operator does not need to remove the protective cover each time;
  • The decompression valve in the device is responsible for reducing the pressure in the cylinder of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw;
  • The handle is located at an angle for ease of operation of the chainsaw. The controls are located on the side cover, which greatly simplifies the adjustment of the Husqvarna 365 XP model.

Among other things, the Chinese manufacturer equipped the Husqvarna chainsaw with an effective easy-start system, the presence of which significantly extends the service life of the motor and other components of the model.

Operating instructions

It is necessary to have instructions included with the power tool. The manual answers all the saw user's questions, allowing him to independently assemble (disassemble) the tool, make repairs, adjust the carburetor, and learn how to operate the tool.

The instructions consist of the following sections:

Preparatory stages

Long-term operation of the Husqvarna 365 xp professional chainsaw is achieved by the following actions:

  1. Properly assemble gas powered tools.
  2. Correctly install the bar, put on and tension the chain.
  3. The chainsaw is filled with a flammable mixture (for 1 liter of AI 90-93 gasoline, take 100 ml of Husqvarna oil for two-stroke engines, ratio 50/1).
  4. The oil tank is filled with original chain lubrication oil; if it is not commercially available, you can use ER 90 transmission oil instead of the original one.
  5. The chainsaw starts.
  6. Idle speed, brake operation and lubrication supply to the chain are checked.

Run-in

Break-in time is 10 hours. During this period, the Husqvarna chainsaw is used with minimal loads; this is necessary for grinding in the moving parts of the engine, including the piston.

Service

The main maintenance steps are as follows:

  • monitor the fullness of fuel and lubricant tanks;
  • check the condition of the saw bar;
  • sharpen the chain in a timely manner;
  • cleaning the filter;
  • spark plug maintenance;
  • replacing a worn sprocket;
  • cleaning petrol tools after each use;
  • cleaning oil channels;
  • carburetor adjustment;
  • debugging the brake system.

Features of use

Features of using the husqvarna 365 chainsaw:

  • watch the brake band, the degree of wear of the band should not be more than 0.6 cm in its thinnest part;
  • the brake handle should always remain intact - if you notice cracks or other damage, contact a service center;
  • The chainsaw is assembled according to the diagram presented in the instructions;
  • The instructions also provide a diagram for attaching vibration damping elements to the handle and engine block of the chainsaw - if the vibration dampers are loose, increased vibration may occur and there is a risk of overloading the operator’s hands;
  • Monitor the quality of sharpening of the teeth of the saw chain - this will reduce the likelihood of kickback when cutting wood.

Instructions for safe handling of the husqvarna 365 chainsaw:

  • work in special protective clothing (ideally, high boots with special protective shields, a plastic mask to prevent sawdust from getting into your eyes, protective gloves on your hands, a shield for your right hand, comfortable clothing made of thick fabric, neither tight nor loose);
  • use a protective helmet and headphones to reduce noise;
  • do not smoke near the chainsaw;
  • never smoke while operating the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw;
  • Leave fire extinguishing agents in direct access to the place where the tool is used;
  • Most injuries, including hand injuries, occur due to operator contact with the cutting part of the chainsaw. To avoid injury, beware of kickback, use the saw correctly, and do not attempt to cut with the edge of the chain without immersing the cutting blade in the log or board;
  • According to the instructions, it is prohibited to place a switched-on chainsaw on the ground.

Husqvarna 365 chainsaw device

The Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is equipped with a reliable 2-stroke petrol engine with a cylinder capacity of 65.1 cm3. Due to this volume, the tool’s motor is capable of delivering about 3.5 kW at a rotation speed of 12,500 rpm. This makes it possible to use tires longer than 18" for working with the saw. To reduce compression inside the cylinder, the model is equipped with a durable decompression valve.

The proprietary Air Injection forced air supply system is responsible for cooling the engine. Due to centrifugal movement, air flows effectively cool all internal parts of the internal combustion engine, increasing the endurance of the engine when operating in hot weather.

The Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is equipped with a modern crankcase, for the production of which an alloy of aluminum and magnesium is used. This increases the strength of the element and makes it more durable when operating at high speeds.

The tire and saw chain are responsible for sawing wood. To lubricate the chain, the tool is equipped with a wear-resistant oil pump. It automatically regulates the amount of oil supplied, which makes it possible to save consumables.

To quickly adjust the chain tension, a separate screw is installed on the side of the Husqvarna chainsaw. It makes it possible to tighten or loosen the chain without using tools.

To make using the chainsaw easier, the manufacturer equipped the model with an ergonomic handle located at an angle. This makes the tool more convenient to use when working at high altitudes.

Structural differences

The chainsaw is characterized by device features that have a positive effect on its reliability and durability.

On the list:

  • production of critical parts of the crank mechanism from forged steel;
  • durable and lightweight magnesium aluminum crankcase;
  • Air Injection centrifugal air purification system, which allows you to increase the operating time of the air intake filter several times;
  • convenient for adjustment placement of the chain tension mechanism on the side cover;
  • starter with Smart Start quick start system;
  • the presence of a decompression valve and a carburetor heating system;
  • ergonomic shape of the handles, providing a reliable grip on the tool when working with large-diameter wood.

Detailed and informative operating instructions and a wide selection of spare parts will help you troubleshoot the problem or carry out routine repairs yourself.

How to adjust the carburetor on a Husqvarna 365 chainsaw

To adjust the Walbro HD 6B there are three screws on the carburetor body:

  • L – low speed adjustment;
  • H – high speed adjustment;
  • T – idle speed adjustment.

Tuning the carburetor of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw can be divided into two stages: preliminary tuning, fine tuning.

The carburetor of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw can be adjusted through special holes in the body of the saw itself (the location is marked in the photo above).

Pre-setting. At the factory, when testing the chainsaw, basic carburetor adjustments are made. The basic setting is as follows: H – 1 revolution, L – 1 revolution.

After purchasing a chainsaw, it is necessary to carry out a full run-in of the engine. To do this, it is necessary that the engine runs on a rich mixture for the first 4 hours. To ensure this mode, it is necessary to set the maximum speed to 600-700 rpm below the maximum, this is about 11800 rpm.

On a note! The maximum speed of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw should not exceed 12,500 rpm; violation of this requirement will entail increased wear of the cylinder-piston group and even its failure.

Fine tuning. After running in the chainsaw, it is necessary to fine-tune the carburetor. First you need to adjust screw L, then screw T and only after that screw H. Before setting, it is recommended to start the chainsaw engine and warm it up for 10 minutes.

The algorithm for fine adjustment of the carburetor is as follows:

  1. We adjust the jet L. We try to find the maximum engine speed by turning screw L clockwise or counterclockwise (for a more accurate determination, you need to use an electronic tachometer). When the required speed is found, unscrew screw L 1/4 turn.
  2. We adjust the engine idle speed with screw T. By turning screw T, we find the idle speed recommended by the manufacturer - 2700 rpm. When the speed is found, unscrew screw T until the chain stops rotating. It is necessary to achieve a mode where the engine starts running smoothly from any position, and when the throttle is released, the chain stops rotating.
  3. We adjust the jet H. Turn the screw H until it stops and unscrew it 1/4 turn. Let the saw run at maximum speed for 10 seconds. We monitor the nature of the sound. If the saw whistles at full speed, the mixture is too lean. In this case, screw H must be unscrewed another 1/4 turn. When configured correctly, the chainsaw slightly “quadruples” at high speeds (the exhaust sound is similar to the sound of a four-stroke engine). If the saw “quadruples” a lot and smokes heavily, then the mixture is too rich. In this case, screw H must be tightened slightly. Turn screw H until we achieve the correct engine sound.

When the carburetor is adjusted correctly, the chainsaw runs smoothly and slightly “quarters” at full engine speed. The chain does not rotate at idle. When the throttle is opened sharply, the saw picks up speed smoothly, without dips.

Husqvarna 365 chainsaw carburetor repair

The Walbro HD 6B carburetor of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is quite reliable and unpretentious. As a rule, problems with it begin when the chainsaw is used for a very long time. This happens due to fatigue of some parts of the carburetor, which leads to loss of its tightness.

For example, after long-term use of a chainsaw, a fuel leak is detected from under the carburetor. The fact is that the needle does not completely close the valve, and the carburetor floods. The reason for this may be: loss of shape of the control membrane, wear of the needle cone, or loss of elasticity of the lever spring.

When making repairs, always pay attention to the operation of the valve; it should move freely, without wedging (see photo above)

Using a type of fuel that does not match the one recommended by the manufacturer also has bad consequences. With prolonged exposure, the aggressive components of such fuel deform the membrane in the pulse chamber. This leads to the membrane making a small amplitude of oscillations. Accordingly, less fuel enters the carburetor, and the fuel-air mixture becomes leaner.

Problems also arise with contaminated fuel in the gas tank. Dirt enters the filter element in the carburetor, as a result of which its throughput decreases (the fuel-air mixture becomes lean). After prolonged use, the chainsaw tank must be thoroughly rinsed. After a long period of inactivity, the carburetor must be blown out with compressed air (using a pump or compressor).

When cleaning, be sure to clean the mesh filter in the carburetor itself (its location is marked in the photo above).

Regarding worn carburetor parts. It is necessary to disassemble the carburetor at least once every six months and visually inspect it for damaged parts. You can replace them by purchasing the appropriate repair kit from a specialized store.

Advantages and disadvantages

By all accounts, the Husqvarna chainsaw meets the requirements and requests of operators and service and repair specialists in all respects.

The time-tested advantages of the tool:

  • large reserve of power and torque of the power unit;
  • high level of maintainability and self-service;
  • effective operation of the vibration damper and precise balance, ensuring a comfortable level of operator work and stable performance throughout the entire shift;
  • original, ergonomic configuration of the handles, facilitating reliable grip of the tool in hard-to-reach places.

Users note the excellent quality of factory assembly and configuration, convenient access to adjustment and tuning points, the necks of the fuel and oil tanks, and the chain tensioning mechanism. The design of this model makes it possible to quickly eliminate failures and simple malfunctions directly at the work site.

Judging by the analysis of user reviews, no significant technical and operational shortcomings in the design of the saw were identified.

How does the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw carburetor work?

The operating principle of a Walbro carburetor is based on a physical process such as air rarefaction. Essentially, a diaphragm carburetor acts as a fuel pump to pump fuel into it. Since the gas tank in the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is located below the level of the carburetor, fuel cannot flow into it by gravity (as in chainsaws with float-type carburetors).

When the piston moves downward, a vacuum of air occurs in the crank chamber. From the crank chamber to the pulse chamber of the carburetor, through a special pressure fitting, there is an alternating supply of air, which lifts the membrane. When a pressure vacuum is created by the membrane, the valve alternately opens and closes, due to which fuel enters the carburetor. After passing the inlet valve, the fuel passes through the filter element and reaches the needle in a purified form.

In order for fuel to enter the main chamber, you need to lower the needle, to move which another membrane (control) is used. When the membrane moves up, it acts on the rod, and through the rocker arm the needle moves down (fuel enters the chamber). The movement of the control membrane is facilitated by the vacuum in the chamber that occurs when the piston moves up and down. That is why, when starting the engine cold, it should be pumped several times with the starter.

From the main chamber, fuel enters the working area. Here, using a diffuser, fuel is mixed with air. Then the finished mixture enters the combustion chamber of the engine.

Description

The Husqvarna 365 chainsaw is a powerful professional equipment designed for working with hard wood. Engine reliability and moderate weight make this model indispensable for working in difficult conditions with maximum loads.
