I have a Husqvarna 268 that won’t start when hot? I mainly cut in cool weather in the fall and winter months till the spring thaw. This saw was running great till it ran out of gas. Now it won’t start?
Looking for ideas and suggestions before I look at it?

I never had huskys do this but I rarely cut in hot weather.

Did you put fuel in it.

Look at it and then get back with us, you have a better chance figuring it out than we do over the net, I hope.
Fuel, air, compression, spark at the right time, check them before posting. Other than these answers my best answer is the one above until you look at it and give us more to go on.
Good luck.
 
Using the husky can 50:1 mix. My son turned in the t screw all the way to make it idle, I’m hoping it’s a carb adjustment and fuel line and filter.
 
The 268 is my problem saw right now. He ran my 371xp and 365xt which ran awesome. Thanks guys old age and brain fade is settling in.
 
heat + ran empty = vapor lock probably. it has happened to me on very hot days

1. Check kill switch ( Doh! I stand accused)
2. Start like you would if flooded. (Choke closed - hold trigger while pulling. Might take 10-15 pulls)
