Husky 450 carb rebuild

[Jeff29520]

Looks like I may have diaphragm issues with my 450 Husqvarna. It won't idle and is definitely using too much fuel along with frequently flooding. I'm going to pick up a rebuild kit tomorrow, but I'm unsure of how to get the carb out. I kept a Homelite running for years, so the rebuild won't be a problem. Google searches haven't helped. Any advice or links will be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome, Jeff. Here is the IPL: http://m.husqvarna.com/ddoc/HUSI/HUSI2015_AAaa/HUSI2015_AAaa_450eII_2015-09.pdf
Looks like 2 air filter bracket screws and 2 carb mount screws.

Thanks, I've got the 4 screws out and it still doesn't want to come out because of the primer bulb and choke/kill switch. Gotta get some more of the plastic count of the way. Ill get it sooner or later.

Got it Just had to pull a little harder and get the hoses off. Feel like an idiot.

Good deal getting it off. Don't feel bad - it's better to be too tentative at first and not break anything. Esp old plastic.
