Husqvarna 455 Chainsaw Not Running Right-FIXED!

[@charlespeacock8360]

Detailed, informative, humorous. Nice edutainment. Thanks

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks for watching!

Hey Scott, Just a quick mention that I received a Thank You card in the mail last week from your store for my recent purchase of the Husky backpack blower. I appreciate that. It’s stuff like that, that keeps customers returning and keeping you distracted from filming!

[@SpruceGoose-qx8zj]

I don't often get the opportunity to work on Huskys but I'm glad you post these very helpful videos Scott. I like that carb stand. I'm gonna get one.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks. I was just looking at my supply of stands. Looks like I should think about making some more 🙂

[@joesixpack8305]

I pretty much repair all my own 2-stroke stuff including chainsaws. I'm not in your league Scott. You do this for a living and can run circles around me. Neighbors often bring their stuff over when it runs like crap or they can't get it started. Funny, I don't care what they say is wrong with it the first thing I always check is the gas like you do. I can't convince anyone that gas is the #1 cause of malfunction. I watch your stuff not so much as to how to repair something but more in what your thought processes are and how you go thru the diagnostic steps on any given repair. Very useful, particularly in the format you use. Nice job once again, Scott!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks, I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

[@PDAUSRC]

Yes you should be employee of the month!😂. I think your method of narrating over the top down footage you are allowed to take is great.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks!

[@marriedwithsmallengines]

Good afternoon, Scott! It’s lunch time! You deserve it! Great video, again! 😊

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I had quice and gatorade, now I'm back to work. Thanks for taking the time!

[@rooster3019]

Another saw that looks nearly new or very lightly used. Having an edgemonkated guess or intuition of where to look for a problem is very valuable. Thank you Scott for producing these videos!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks for watching them!

[@chrischiampo7647]

What a Coincidence My 1st Job Today Is a 455 Rancher With Carb Issues 😮😲😀😊👍🏼 Had Lots o Water in Fuel Tank Micro Screen Plugged With Pond Scum White Fuzzy Dusty Material 😳😳 Excellent Video Scott 😀😊👍🏼

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Lately I've been saving those plugged screens for the customers. Even if its not their fault it gets them thinking about what they are putting in the tank.

[@Chucky-b7v]

Great job, Scott 👍🏼. Carbys, Bugger!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks! Have a great day!

[@patrickvennard838]

I think you do a good job of filming while working. I have learnt a lot from your videos.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!

[@Philjr-h7j]

Great video of the day I will be buying some things from ur channel nice work

Thank you Scott! We all appreciate you teaching us! Have a great day!

[@SophthilifeYT58]

Nice to see effective work in progress 🙂

[@larryvankirk7423]

I just so happen to own a 455 Rancher. Bought it from Lowe’s 15 or 20 years ago. I’ve used it hard but sparingly. Never had the carb off and dang thing just never has let me down. Not my favorite saw to run, but cuts well with good chisel chain that is “sharp”! If there was a Husky dealer with a service dept like yours nearby, I would treat it to a tune up. Laaaaaaaaater.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

They seem to be a pretty robust saw. Thanks for watching!

[@BruceLyeg]

Looks barely used. Are carburetor issues the most common problems with two stroke equipment? Then what, clogged screen on exhaust? Next chain oiler not working? Maybe cracked fuel lines? Small fairly simple engines with relatively few parts but still can be difficult to diagnose the problem rather than throw parts at it. It's not always the first thing you expect it to be in the automotive side of the business but I've learned through your vids that it can be the same on your end of the business. You have a sort of checklist in your mind you go threw and diagnose the problem using that process and your experience. You know what you're doing, are fair and honest with the customer. They're luck to have you, Scott

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

Great !!!¡!@ Video mate. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks for watching!

[@DeLaLosPedros]

I'm in need, Scott just said it's not supposed to be hard but flexible...🫣🤣 I'm really excited in the right way for schmutz and new other flying sentence what was great cos we all know he's doing these videos during work and those thick fingers are working hard for us to see this amazing mechanic at his work 💪🤟🇺🇲 don't know when he's about to Film where he relaxes or whatever but heil to man who helps Thousand men to fix machine's and is smooth in tone that one can fall asleep like meditation way. Thanks for this video again. I really love all of your comments it helps us understand or not❤️

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Oh nooooooo........... not another carb rebuild! Just kidding, we always enjoy your vids! 👍

[@tedneitzel]

Great video as always! Thanks for sharing!

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Scott, I have a 450 Rancher eII with what I think is a worn crankshaft where the Clutch drum and needle bearing rest. He had the chain sooo tight I believe it roller burnished the crank diameter by about 0.005" Is there a spec for the crank diameter on the clutch side, e.g. 0.5000" +0/-.001" ?? The drum wobbles around like mad! Thanks

[@patrickvennard838]

Thanks

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I'm sorry this is late but I just noticed it. Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@st7650]

Like to see you do a review on chain locker

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I'll have to see if we have any left in the showroom.

[@steveconroy1614]

Hiya Scott, I hope you're keeping well. Can you please tell me the tube size you're using on your Mityvac pump. Thanks in advance, Steve

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Its either 3/16" or 1/4". I'll try to remember to check that and get back to you.

[@K.chandler23]

What brand is the screwdriver you use on the carburetors?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Its no longer available. believe me, I've tried finding a spare.

[@K.chandler23]

@TheGreasyShopRag Dang. Thanks for the response.

[@Shakey53]

Hey Scott, what do you think about the pre-mixed fuels? I know they’re expensive but for a guy who might not use their saw for 2 months at a time, is the premixed stuff better? Thx, Paul from Michigan

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

We promote the use of premixed fuels for just those types of situations. the extra cost of the fuel is way less than a repair bill.

[@dcvariousvids8082]

Is that saw clean or what. It’s cleaner than the snow in the garden.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Please don't use the "S" word here. I'm not ready for the white stuff! 🙂

[@McCullochMac6]

@@TheGreasyShopRag LOL Yep that white stuff is falling here in Minnesota as I watch this awesome video...

[@williamemerson1799]

Regularly scheduled dumb question time. 1. I don't trust Slamazon parts entirely so can the Zama and Walbro carb kits be ordered from the factories or from distributors? 2. Often times folks pull the starter rope out slightly before shutting off the saw. What's up wit dat? 👍🍻

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Kits are usually available from both the manufacturer and distributors. The are some exceptions with stihl. If a spring loaded starter pawl is in a spinning flywheel and being forced open by centrifical force then it closes as the rotation stops. If that pawl closed and the engine kicks back it can grab the starter drive and damage it. Pulling the rope out allows for those pawls to grab and retract the rope freely as opposed to grabbing and trying to retract a rope thats already retracted. If the pawl is in the starter and closes when the rope is returned then this cant happen. Clear as mud?

[@spelunkerd]

Ha ha, two dumb questions that I was about to ask. Hopefully Scott will reply.

[@williamemerson1799]

@@spelunkerd Yeah, I'm usually first in line with the dumb questions. Kinda makes me wonder how I've lasted 73 years. 😒 Hey Man, stay outa those underwater caves!

[@HayChaffandSawdust1]

Great video... all except that quiet headless guy!! He's a jerk to you!!!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

LOL!

[@gb3450]

Can you recommend a good all around compression tester? Also, just ordered your carb stand. Thanks

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@gb3450 Echo offers one that's 14mm and has a 10mm adapter. Part #91147. They're about a hundred bucks. Husqvarna offers individual 10 or 14mm gauges and each of those is also about a hundred bucks.

[@gb3450]

@ thanks again!!

[@gb3450]

Hi! What vacuum tester do you recommend?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Mity Vac MV8500 is the one you see in my videos.

[@gb3450]

@ thanks a ton! Appreciate your work and advice!
