The Husqvarna 141 chainsaw is a small homeowner saw that is no longer in production.
However, there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of these saws out there are they regularly pop up for sale on online marketplaces and elsewhere.
Whether or not they’re worth buying depends on the price and condition. But here is a general overview of the Husqvarna 141 to help you in your decision.

The 141 was originally described as:
A lightweight, easy to operate, versatile saw for more demanding leisure and part-time use.
Just like all our saws, this saw satisfies the toughest demands on safety, easy operation, and ergonomics as our professional saws. Useful in gardens and yards as well as for felling applications.
The Husqvarna 141 is good for:
- Limbing
- Pruning
- Clearing
- Cutting small logs
It isn’t generally the type of saw you would use for cutting larger logs or processing bulk firewood. It’s not designed to be used all day.
A larger, more powerful model like the Husqvarna 359 would be better for harder use.
That being said, it’s a reliable little saw that gets the job done.
It’s generally sold and run with a 16-inch bar.
Like most Husqvarna chainsaws, the 141 has many fans in the Husky community.
And:
The fuel line issue comes up more than once when looking into this model, and often needs replacing.
If you know what you’re doing (or can find someone else who does), this is not a difficult or expensive task.
Husqvarna 141 parts are reasonably plentiful, though getting somewhat harder to find over the years.
The best place to look or ask for parts, if you can’t find them in the usual places, is in one of the many large Husky Facebook groups.

Husqvarna 141 Parts And Rebuild
Generally speaking, it’s worth rebuilding and replacing parts on this chainsaw.
If you can find a cheap second-hand machine for under $50, it’s likely it will be worth more fixed up than what you will need to spend on it. However, it will depend on how you value your time.
While the Husky 141 is no longer for sale there are still plenty of genuine OEM and aftermarket parts out there.
Whether you are looking for fuel tanks, air filters, dogs, carburetors, oil pumps, fuel lines, clutch covers, starter cords, and sparks plugs, or you just need a new bar and chain, they’re fairly easy to come by.
Check out these retailers:
- Ebay – a wide range of parts and complete saws
- HL Supply – OEM and aftermarket parts
- Amazon – mostly aftermarket parts
Parts shouldn’t cost a lot.

I’ve got a 141 and love it. Parts are definitely harder to find though not that I’ve needed many.
Sounds like $100 for a running husky 141 is a good deal, right?
Yes, definitely! If it’s running well and has been looked after then it’s a steal.
As a heavy cutter, I have used this 1999 saw now a few times and love it so much that “ Where the heck you been all my cutting life “???
Nice! Good to hear, Wolly.
I picked one up from a local dealer and paid $125 with a new chain and Oregon brand double bar. Have used for 2 hours on multiple jobs and it wasn’t phased a bit.
Happy 141 owner.
I have a 141 and it runs great the only thing is when you shut it off it will not start again until it cools off. Can’t figure out why it does this.
A warmed up Husq or Poulan won’t immediately restart after shutting it off. You might try increasing the spark plug gap by .003 or .005. Factory plug gap is too small to kernel a flame when the cylinder is hot and wet with fuel. If you’re saw is stored outside in the winter .005 might be too much unless you’re a real Pro at Poulan…
