Check the fuel lines for cracks/breaks. If they are o.k., then:

Youwill need to disassemble the carburetor and spraywith carb.cleaner. Make sure the small screen is free of debris.(Should be able to see daylight through it.)

Use a Den Tek Brush, (http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152),to clean the small portals in carb. These portals canbecome blocked. Reassemble and start.

If the carb. parts are more than 4 years old, you may have to replace them.
Parts include: small screen, needle valve, diaphragm, & gasket(s).

The problem is more than likely the diaphragm, but it won't hurt anything to try the first couple of things; you may be able to save some money.

If you need further assistance, just let me know.

My husky 460 rancher needs a new chain sprocket, how do I remove the clutch assy to get to it?

There is a special tool that fits into the clutch with a 19mm head on it so as to fit an impact wrench part no. 502541601, however you can remove it using a suitable screw driver, preferably the one that came with the saw, insert into one of the slots provided in the clutch, now use a hammer and keep striking the head of the screw driver to jar the clutch off against the compression of the saw ( keep deco valve out ) remember its a left hand thread so clockwise , it will eventually spin off

I have a new 455 rancher chainsaw husky 20inch bar chain keeps coming off new chain

You may have a bent bar, or you could be putting the chain on a little too loose. Perhaps the chain is not getting lube ?
Possible that the chain tentssioner and or adjustment is loosening up as you are using the unit. Other than that maybe a defective new blade ?

My 455 revs up and down while giving it thortle

Check the fuel tank vent, ive had 455 and a 450 rancher in for repair that have had the same symptoms. Sometimes it can be the breather pipe that has come off the carb, ive had that happen on a 395xp.

The vents are simple to change and it sorted out the problem on both saws. 1 was simple to spot as it leaked fuel when laying on its side.

I have a new hasky 460 rancher stalls when given

If it stumbles at full throttle, the fast (high) idle screw is set too rich. Using your owner's manual, locate the high idle adjustment and back it off in very very small increments. Do this until the saw will run wide open without stumbling.

I have a husky 455 rancher.never had a problem till today, worked fine this morning, now it iwll start but as soon as i put it under load it dies, cannot even rev the engine, it idles ok, but once i open...

When this has happened to me, it turned out to be a hole or crack in the fuel line. At the higher revs, more fuel is needed. The added "suction" for the higher demand pulls air into the line and the unit does not have enough fuel to run. Check for that first and also the fuel filter inside the tank. The filter might be clogged as well.

Keep us posted,
Dan

Husky 350 chainsaw idle to high

First there is an throttle idle screw that adjust the amount of throttle at idle try turning it ccw until it idles down. If this adj is at its lowest level then adjust the L screw until you get the idle you want. Then try to rev up it should rev up without hesitation if not hold down on throttle untill you get max rpm it it tries to cut out etc. at high rpm adj. the H screw until you get max rpm. then adj your L screw again for proper idle. You may need to do this back and forth for awhile until you get max. performance.
