do all saws have an oil pump or just the higher end ones like husqvarna and stihl?

[donyboy73]

@pivotboy63 most saws have an oil pump, some work on pressure from the crankcase like the old homelite super 2

air gun works better than putting rope down the cylinder

[donyboy73]

@mrcountryboy1234567 that's what i usually use, the air gun, I did it this way because most people watching don't have one, take care, don

i have a consumer grade husky saw, and am having trouble re-installing the chain brake after replacing the chain. do you have any tricks for placing the chain brake back over the clutch assembly ? mine is extremely tight, to the point of not allowing the brake to be reinstalled. thanks, great videos !

[donyboy73]

@drz400ccus what saw do you hav? make sure the chain adjuster pin goes into the groove on the bar, sometimes they need to be loosened after putting a new chain and make sure the chainbrake isn't pushed on?

Sorry,,, meant sharpen the chain... and used the flat file to get rid of imperfections along side of the bar.

Don; Was doing basic maintenance on my HV Mod 61 1998 as learned from you.. I noticed that the brake clutch cover is tainted with a black oil film. Is that normal. In addition to that when checking the spark plug there was a small oil drop the side of the spark plug and the threading of the spark plug was oil weted..mm I´m kind of concern, any diagnose? it also stalls on me even when hot. could that be the H and L adjustment ?? thanks for any advise. I clean filter, bar and sharpened the bar.

@baronesstoro as he said in the video, the rope is sure not to damage the piston. it's soft and cushions it a bit. The piston stopper, although quite unlikely, could damage the crown of the piston if enough pressure were applied.

@mrcountryboy1234567 i used the air gun and it broke the shaft so now i have more parts to buy and work to do

I just did this job on my 281 xp, and put the rim sprocket back on back to front. Could'nt understand why it was so noisy. After watching this vid I realised my mistake.

Thanks to uploader;-)

[baronesstoro]

Why do you use the rope?

I can take it off more safely if I use the pistonstopper.
