Mick, This is actually quite an easy fix which should only really involve removing the black plastic lever...... the plastic chassis has been worn away by the brake spring and so requires a packer, take an cheap 25 thou feeler gauge and copy the shape of the top end of the Brake spring (complete with screw fixing hole so the torx brake spring fixing also secures the spacer) so it fits snugly round the back of the spring with 1 - 1 1/2" feeding down between the brake spring and the square hole in the plastic body (you should have some thing that resembles a 1 1/2" tall lower case r ). If you remove the wear the Brake spring will work as intended!! you may now need a new coil spring as crushing it will have lost some of the clamping strength of the brake. Hope i have explained it well enough, not had my coffee yet so half asleep.

Hello Mick 👍. Well I want to know how difficult it was to replace the sirclip.lol

[@themowerman]

Nope nope nope lol

[@deedrabbit]

Is it not freezing in that shed?

[@themowerman]

Nope it's not too bad

[@donnieroberts339]

Have homelite chainsaw that the starter recoil is hard to is this fixable

[@themowerman]

Yeah I would say so.. first clean it with wd40 and air compressor.. if not you may need to replace the part

[@BrucesShop]

Got it. I had 174 emails and notifications ARGH!!!

[@DOCREAL1118]

Great video Mate and so good to hear the wish list is up and helps little ones like Riley!

[@grandadsworkshop5394]

So how many times did it go across the shed mick

[@themowerman]

GRANDADS WORKSHOP lol not discussing it lol

[@VidiasPlayWorldVPW]

i agree with @mogsy briggs cutting a few links may help my friend

[@themowerman]

LoveThemScents could also be dangerous. As the break may not work properly

[@VidiasPlayWorldVPW]

@@themowerman very true, could cause it to become weak

[@WorleyLawnServices]

hello mate from across the big pond!!!! still waiting on the package hoping it comes today lol. if it does ill send you a message on facebook letting you know that it came and what time i will be going live with it!!

[@themowerman]

Worley Lawn Services yeah ok mate

[@WorleyLawnServices]

[@themowerman]

@@WorleyLawnServices yeah old gas mate

[@WorleyLawnServices]

@@themowerman i thought it was something of that nature lol.. i bet the fumes stank up the joint!!!!lol

[@SCOTTISHPREPPERVARIETYCHANNEL]

That brake band well fiddling job on that saw caused from not cleaning saw Some times the clutch drum warps to. Mick again not being cleaned out Very enjoyable to watch

[@themowerman]

Glad you enjoyed it mate I have another 2 saws to do this week

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Mick I’m a new subscriber. You come recommended by Craig over at the repair specialist channel. I’ve watched a few of your videos and enjoyed them. Maybe you can show the sharpening process. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and well Artie 😊

[@themowerman]

Judy found yoy comment mate.. KZbin is not showing them.. yeah I can do a video on that

[@davidyoung6608]

FINALLY got around to watching this video. Great video.

[@themowerman]

Ta mate

[@petefroud5308]

Good job mate . The big Mountfield has the same carb as the problem Mountfield.

[@bobbelsekwol]

Nothing worse than taking stuff apart and hearing that ping of something falling out from the machine and not knowing were its from. Great vid again Mick.

[@mogsybriggs5930]

Cut the spring shorter but not too much, may be 2 links

[@leecarter9577]

Another fantastic vid mick. 👍🏻

[@stevebarker1974]

Sheds looking great buddy loads of room 👍👍👍👍

[@neilharvey9889]

Well done Mick. I have the same saw with same problem but not had the guts to get into it. I saw one guy on KZbin who cut a couple of turns off the spring you compressed to solve the problem, but not sure how safe that would be. Keep them coming.

[@themowerman]

Yeah it's not something I would do to be honest. That break has to work properly if your going to sell it on. Mate have a go and see if you can get it to work

[@stephenwilliamson2410]

A good fix fella, I bet you wish it was just a carb clean. Great channel 👍🏼

[@themowerman]

Yeah mate

[@roystheboy]
