Parts Used
Replace kill switch lever.
1. Removed engine cover

3. Installed new switch lever while carefully reinstalling spring with kill wire.
Note: there is no reason to remove carburetor to perform this repair.
Installation of spike
1. Remove clutch cover, bar and chain.
2. Place spikes on area provided on saw.
3. Drive the short screw into one of the holes provided on the saw. Note: one of the screws provided with the part is not correct for my application(Husqvarna 240)! Had to drill the upper hole location with a drill bit no larger than pilot hole and provide my own short screw.
4. Make spike screws snug. Do not over tighten as you can strip the plastic on the saw!

Saw would not start. Kill switch was constantly making a ground contact due to a worn switch lever

Tools Used
Screwdriver
Remove saw cover. Unscrew the washer holding the switch lever. Remove the worn lever and carefully remove the contact connection from the switch lever. Install the contact connection in the new switch lever and reattach the switch lever. I ordered the new switch spring in case the old spring was worn. Pay attention to how the spring fits in it's guides. replace the spring after installing the switch as it is kind of a strong spring.
