Jonsered 2050 RPM

[PetrolHead]

G'day.
Does anyone know the max rpm for one of these beasties, thanks in advance.

12500 rpm according to this workshop manual from 1996.

Hey Petrol,

Carefull with that 2050...........the handle fell off mine the other day in the bush Saw runs fine (now) but, seems like I fixed a dozen or so problems with it already, I could write a list! Dealer told me a while back that their (Jonsered) small saws are problematic, big stuff seems just fine though.

Watch out for the throttle too.

Hey Fred,

Yeah, that was a problem..........the cable had a kink in it inside the handle and wouldn't allow full carb opening. A covering of shrink wrap fixed that one.
The fuel line was another, also had a kink, drove me crazy with needle adjustments till I found it.
The choke was another headache till I found a missing "C" clip on the carb.
Runs like a top now........finally but, if I had to pay a dealer to do it, would have chucked it long ago :biggrinbounce2:

Thanks for the tips. This one doesn't belong to me and is just about stuffed. Paul, love the avatar mate!

That series of small Jreds (2041, 2045 and 2050) have been reported to have some problems. It is really a Partner Design - I think it is at least partly based on the Partner 500.

The Newer 21xx series of small Jreds (2141, 2145 and 2150) are Husky designed, and reportedly much better (mostly the same as Husky 340, 345 and 350)..
