Description
Overview:
This Knee-Joint is a genuine Husqvarna replacement part for professional and homeowner chainsaws. Made from a fuel- and oil-resistant elastomer, it forms the flexible intake connection between the carburettor and the cylinder, maintaining an airtight seal while absorbing vibration. By preventing air leaks, it helps keep the engine tuned, improving starting, idle stability, and throttle response. It is engineered for an exact fit on popular models such as the Husqvarna 365 and 576XP, so it sits correctly without modification. The part is suitable for routine maintenance or to replace a cracked, hardened, or leaking joint that can cause lean running and engine damage. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 501 87 53-04 (501875304). Genuine Husqvarna part for compatibility, reliability, and long service life.
