Am I missing a gasket???

On a typical saw, is there a gasket between the muffler and backing plate, and then another one between the cylinder head (where the exhaust port meets the backing plate) and the backing plate?

In other words, should it be:

cylinder head exhaust port/gasket/backing plate/gasket/muffler

or

cylinder head exhaust port/backing plate/gasket/muffler.

My little Husqvarna 240 has it the second way, no gasket off of the exhaust port. I'm looking at parts diagrams, and see no mention of the gasket I appear to be missing?? What say you.

Husqvarna 240 Parts List and Diagram - (2008-01) : eReplacementParts.com

Page G, and page I are the ones with the parts. I can always make a gasket, but is it not weird that there's no gasket off the head? Any thoughts appreciated.

 

wich number are you mising ? is exactly as the diagrams show here cylinder then nr7 , 6, muffler , and go on

 

Well, I'm not "exactly" sure I'm missing a part, but part #7, behind it so to speak. I'm wondering why there's not a twin to part #6, behind that plate.

 

As the diagrams show my friend , after the cylinder # 7

 

The parts list that Pantelis is showing is correct. What you posted. (cylinder head exhaust port/backing plate/gasket/muffler) This is correct.
This is also pretty normal on a lot of saws.

 

Most newer Poulans and homeowner Huskys only have 1 gasket. Tighten it down like IPL shows above.

 

There never is a need for one I guess. All the Husqvarna saws I tare into are set up basically like that illustration above. It seems to seal up just fine that way

 

exept if you want to convert the chainsaw to submarine

 

until now i dont have see saw with double gasket but maybe some are , i dont say no maybe some older models

 

You know what i sometimes dont understand you give to someone the service manual and the parts ipl that the factory make and he must start a thread to see if pantelis or someone else are more correct than the factory he read the manual and he must ask if this that the stihl -husqy tell him is correct
God bless america i dont know what else say

 

First chainsaw I've owned, and it just seemed like a gasket should be there. Shows what I know.

 

I don't understand why some people don't understand what capitalization, run on sentences, punctuation, or the difference between America and Canada is. And yet, here you are. While I learned something interesting, I don't think you did....
Are you in that part of Europe that doesn't know where Canada is? I hate those guys.



Thanks guys, I was really wondering where the gasket had gone lol

 

I am from Greece do you know how many greeks are live in canada ? my grandfather was in canada work there so i know very well where is canada .

be good and safe

 

Just lobbing the ball back, no worries.

One of my first jobs (many years ago!) was working for a Greek man, who owned a Pizza place, and I was a delivery driver. One very nice guy, although I heard he went back to Greece in the last few years.

 

If he come back he must be stupid

 

I heard the economy was in the gutter there, but perhaps health reasons, family? Who knows.

 

The economy is a real sh....t here , jobs close and peoples jump ( suicide ) tragic situations for the health the same chit they leave 25 years girl die because she dont have insurance and dont have money to pay for the hospital and pills in a european country.

 

I am sorry to hear of the problems with the economy in Europe, Pantelis. Wish you all the best and I pray that things will get better.

 

No the europe dont have problems the greece have problems and this is because of azzholes in goverments ,
