    435 having problems

    I have a husky 435 that I use for limbing and smaller stuff. My former groundie used it. It starts, but when I squeeze the throttle it bogs down and dies. I'm thinking it may be the carb. Any other ideas you all might have? Kinda off topic, but my groundie was my brother in law. I fired...

    Why is my saw cutting crooked?

    When I sharpen my chains, I use a granberg file n joint. Clamp it on the bar, get all the angles set, and make sure u take the same amount of passes on each tooth.
