old Husky 240

[willsaw4beer]

My dad said he bought it in late 70's. Presumably a cheap homeowner saw. Does anybody know anything about these?

Look Like This?

These are 44's and they are very similar to the 240 in looks. The 240S is a very good little saw. Well made and of professional quality. Basically all metal and most external parts will interchange with the 44's. If, however, it's an all plastic saw then it is a later version and not of the quality of these.......Bob

I purchased a similar saw from Craigs list this weekend,somewhere between 50-70 cc's for $50(the only #'s on it are serial #'s)
Any idea what the correct fuel mix is? 32/1 or 50/1?
The guy mixed his own regular oil and gas for a mix and i am sure over mixed the oil.A lot of smoke when i ran it today with the 2 gallons of gas he gave me.
(I didn't get his secret formula mix on purpose),but ran it for about 3 hours today it is tight and since there no mosquito's out this time of year (I don't need the EPA police on my butt).
Any help?

Get some Husky xp oil, mix 50:1 with 89 or 93 octane gas. Retune carb,

Actually it is probably older, mine has 2 bar studs and no chain brake.
Orange with white top.
I will try 50-1 mix though.
Thanks

By Gawd you called it!
I put on the (i can't see so close anymore)Wallgreen $5 speck's and there was part of a 1/2(0) and a #1 next to it.(forensic's @ 56 i guess i can call it).
Delivered my wood,and cut a few cords of beetle kill with the OL! gal @ about 7500 ft.
50-1 mix on the fuel, (I use the Poulan synthetec 40 - 1 on ALL my Huskys!)
Electrolux makes it and should warranty it for my 372 if prob's happen.


(since they make j-reds,husky,poulan)
ALL my 17 saws seem to run well on it!
AGAIN Thanks for your input!!!

P.S. When some folks say here you need (orange and white)does it=Rancher 61?
