New Husqvarna 359

[Evin]

Hi All,

I have just gotten a 359 and used it one day 2 tanks of gas and when the first tank went dry the engine reved up. As I just fried my 55 I am scared what I might do to my new saw. Is this normal? I did not see this with my 55. Should I take it in to the local shop (not where I bought it) to have it adjusted or can I do it myself?

Thanks

What is a no no... running the saw dry?

Yes, as soon as it starts to run funny, and it is near empty, shut it off.

as you run out of fuel in any engine. it will temporary run lean as it runs out of fuel.

I've never had any damage that way, probably because it's ran lean only for a few seconds.

Congratulations on that new saw. Relax, and don't run it dry.

I always thought small engines did that, and all mine do, because without all gas in the line the air gave it a better explosion. Like a mini supercharger effect. Anybody?

When running out of fuel there is more air which is bad, due to the fact the oil/premix that lubes the 2-stroke motor is absent. Not a good situation due to the motor running lean. Don't run them dry, just refuel, especially with the transparent tanks.
