Description
Overview:
This genuine Husqvarna valve (OEM 503 66 54-01) is a precision screw-in component used on Husqvarna petrol machines, primarily chainsaws such as the 246 and 340. Built from durable machined metal to withstand heat, vibration and fuel exposure, it regulates cylinder pressure during starting to help the engine turn over smoothly and protect the recoil system. Once running, it seals reliably to maintain proper compression. Designed for a direct replacement on compatible Husqvarna models, it restores correct operation when the original valve has become worn, stuck or leaking. Genuine Part status ensures the correct fit, materials and performance expected by professional users and DIY owners who need dependable starting and consistent cutting power.
