Trying to cut a coat that has not be adequately prepped will cause blade and clipper to work harder than they should, and heat up faster than normal. Modern clippers are up to twice as fast as old model clippers. faster speeds means faster blade heat-up. Always use multi-speed clippers on the lowest speed.
A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the string trimmer for a long period of time. Over time, some of the ingredients in the fuel may evaporate, leaving behind a thicker, stickier substance. This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and cause the engine to stall.
Not only 2 stroke. Any engine that overheats will stop. Engines work by creating a sealed pressure chamber between the head, liner and piston. Sliding contact between the piston ring and liner creates this seal.
Oil. Your clipper should be oiled every 10 minutes during use as lack of lubrication can cause the blades to overheat. This is also a good opportunity to remove excess hair from your blades using a clipper brush.
Just Like Spark plug fouling, too much oil in the gasoline, inferior oil, a dirty air filter and/or continued operation at less than full throttle will plug the screen with carbon deposits. This prevents exhaust gases from flowing out, which leads to power loss or not running at all.
That said, a severely overheating engine can cause the cylinder walls or the pistons themselves to warp, bend and deform. This will cause the perfect seal between the piston and the rest of the engine to lose integrity. Oil could be forced past the piston rings and into the engine, where it will burn the oil.
A cooling system for a two-stroke engine including a water jacketed cylinder having cooling passages located beneath the exhaust port and beneath the transfer ports in the cylinder wall. Liquid coolant flows upwardly from the crankcase structure into the cylinder wall cooling jacket and finally upwardly into the head.
Oil for clippers to lubricate the blades, specially formulated to not irritate the horse`s skin. It is essential for shearing and should be used regularly during shearing to prevent the blades from overheating.
Excessive oiling can damage your clipper`s motor or affect overall performance. Therefore, don`t pour more than four drops of oil per session. And if there`s any extra oil on the blades, be sure to wipe it off.
The air filter or exhaust port may be blocked. The trimmer may need lubrication and cooling fins or air passages may be blocked. A cordless trimmer`s battery or charger may be faulty.
The clutch engages the clutch pads to spin the trimmer head. If the clutch assembly is defective, the clutch will not disengage the clutch pads, and the trimmer head will continue to spin, even at low speeds. If the clutch is defective, replace it. (Note: some string trimmers do not have a clutch.
The air filter or exhaust port may be blocked. The trimmer may need lubrication and cooling fins or air passages may be blocked. A cordless trimmer`s battery or charger may be faulty.
A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the string trimmer for a long period of time. Over time, some of the ingredients in the fuel may evaporate, leaving behind a thicker, stickier substance. This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and cause the engine to stall.

Husqvarna 240 want start at all – Husqvarna Chain Saw 18" 450 Model 966955438
ANSWER : Sounds like the ignition module or spark plug. The ignition module is what controls the spark plug that gives your saw the firing capabilities. Before you purchase one of those, replace the spark plug and see if that works. The 240 is a newer husqvarna; so I am skeptical to say it is the ignition module. However, any new product can have a bad part on it. Your saw may have gotten flooded and won’t start. Make sure your gas mixture is 50/50 gas to mixing oil. Always use fresh gas. If you make up gas and don’t use a whole gallon at a time, put some fuel stabilizer in the mixture; so it will still be fresh the next time you use it.
