My 395 Husqvarna will start rev up but won't stay running tried 1:turn out and 1 1/2 out still no good

SOURCE: Husqvarna 385

Sounds like dirty carberator or carb needs adjustment. How is the spark plug?

SOURCE: I have a Husqvarna 125B handheld blower, will not stay running

probable clogged screen in carb. rebuild carb with a kit. also check fuel lines and fuel filter

SOURCE: husqvarna 325l-x won't stay running only runs

The 325 engine unit is a very reliable engine, the things i have seen over the years are, cracked and leaking fuel hoses ( the fuel attacks the material and crazes the pipes ) some ignition unit failures ( when it stops check to see if it has lost its spark, by removing the plug, resting it on the cylinder and cranking the engine ) fuel tank breather in the filler cap ( when it starts to die, try slackening off the filler cap, if it picks up again, replace the cap )

If you have switched to "UP" position and turned handwheel one full revolution with no result it may be that
1. There is lint under the needleplate preventing it from rising fully....clean it out !!
2. There is damage to the linkage and will need to go in for visual appraisal by technician....ask for a quote on repair before they do anything.

It could be a couple of different things. A couple of things that you can check yourself before having to take it to someone to look at it:

1. Open the hood and try turning the engine by spinning the round "cheese grater" looking part that is attached to the flywheel. - it probably won't turn.

2. Remove the spark plug(s) and try again. (Be careful, if the the cylinder is full of gas/oil it will come out as you spin it by hand.) - DO NOT use the electric start to try and turn it over! This sends spark to the plug wire and could ignite any fuel causing severe burns and/or other serious injuries.

-IF-

You were unable to spin the engine over by hand without the spark plug(s) in it, then you may be dealing with anything from a wedged starter gear to a seized engine. Fuel with ethanol added to it attacks the rubber/neoprene seals in carburetors and often times allows fuel to fill the crankcase and cylinder. If this has happened the above mentioned plan of action will let you know. As always, anytime the fuel mixes with the engine oil, you should change the oil to prevent the engine from locking up under normal operation.

I hope this gives you a little bit direction. =)
