@Mr grow Medical The (by far) most common cause of small engine failure is stale fuel gumming up (varnishing) the carb. This would definitely cause your symptoms. The severity of this would dictate the necessary repairs. Start here - empty the tank of old fuel (dispose of it properly.) Put fresh fuel (I recommend 91 Octane, but that's solely due to the lack of ethanol - at least up here in Canada) treated with Seafoam (www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/sea-foam-motor-treatment-473-ml-0387800p.html#srp). Now run the engine as before - with the fuel cap loosely in place (enough to stop the splashing gas from getting out while letting air in.) If it performs well, tighten the cap per norm and repeat the test. No stall? You're gtg. Stall again indicates the cap is plugged - can be cleaned relatively easily or replaced cheaply. If it's still running like a bag of hammers with the cap loose, then we have to move onto the next diagnostic step.

I have a vintage homelite super 2 from the 60s and I think I have a grease port on my bar but I don't know if that will work for this bar

[@kshnsts1]

I've got a Husky with the clutch set up that way and in the manual it shows a picture of putting grease on that shaft and recommends doing it every time you sharpen the chain. But it doesn't explain it good enough to let you know about pumping it in or why it needs it. I just put a glob of grease on the shaft like it shows but didn't know why. Thanks for the video ! I'm sure I'll get more life out of that bearing now.

Man I just got a gas saw and it’s my first gas fueled small engine powered piece of power equipment. It’s amazing the knowlege you can find on KZbin. I’m glad that this was mentioned because I would have never guessed there was a greasable bearing for that clutch and I certainly would not have figured that spot there walls have been a grease port. I’m a commercial/industrial hvac technician and understand how important maintenance is on equipment that needs to be relied on so that’s why I started researching all of this chainsaw stuff and MAN am I glad I did. Seems like outdoor power equipment design, building, manufacturing, maintenance and repair is it’s own little world with all sorts of little known pieces of info.

I did a chainsaw course at Usk college in the UK 17 years ago. The saws we used were the Husqvarna 371, we were shown how to lubricate the clutch housing needle roller bearing using the simple grease gun. We were told to do this periodically, say every 2-3 months, too often and grease could get into the clutch. I've since found that not all chainsaws have this method of bearing lubrication. The bearing really only comes under heavy load when the chain is stalled under heavy throttle situations. Some people often stall their chain!!!! Under normal use the bearing doesn't get much load at all.

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

A stuck clutch is most likely always the bearing, as most of the bearings ride in a plastic cage. The cage gets hot from lack of lubrication, and melts and wipes out the bearings, which is what you end up with here. Out of all of the saws and weedeaters with clutches I have worked on over the years, I rarely ever run into a broken spring. Good catch on that.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Having seen this I was encouraged to grease the roller bearings within my clutch. (Jonsered 2139T) Imagine my disappointment upon finding no grease hole or channel. Jonered and Husqvarna are related. And I did note that Steve said that not all these saws have this greasing feature. Still I was disappointed. Anyway I have had the fitting that is screwed in the empty spart plug hole, for 15 years. This was the first time I used it. It stops piston travel when removing a clutch or putting it back on. It was a problem solver. And the clutch came off with just a 19mm scrench. But you have to remember to turn it the opposit way from all other nuts and bolts. I still have the little tube of genuine Husqvarna grease that came with this saw. So I checked the bearings. Cleaned them and applied the Swedish grease. I did some cleanup in that area and put things together easily with that scrench. And removed the piston stopper. The plug was fine but I brightened it up anyway and installed it. For cleaning the nooks and crannies of a saw I like to use alcohol in a squirt bottle. Set it for stream some times. WD•40 with the red straw helps too. To confine my mess I got a large discarded cookie sheet. This is long enough. Thanks for the opportunity to put in my two cents.

Magnesium case 4.0 ci a beast still works great. I have had all the good top handle saws , Husky 338 , 35 , Stihl 200T.

Wow, thanks!

One thing to remember when greasing the bearing is to only give it one pump! Go crazy with the grease and it gets into the drum and major clutch slippage. That’s been a feature on husky’s since the early to mid 90s. Think my old 262XP even had it if I remember correctly

[@garythbensley1565]

I ran a husky for 10years, was always taught by my teachers who grew up in forestry with there dad and his dad, if you grease it once you will always have to, if you dont the bar oil is enough to do the job. Once you grease it stops oil getting in requiring to keep greasing. I went through 1 bearing in that time, but knew something was broken and changed out before it got to the stage of this saw in the video. After 10years i moved to stihl and never greased and that is still going on the second bearing after 15yrs.

Garyth Bensley So-are you saying this info is Not a good idea? Are you saying to let just oil itself? Not clear.

[@garythbensley1565]

Just put bar lube on it and it should be fine as long as you not running chain to tight. When you grease it, the grease move out over time and stops oil getting in so you will have to continue to grease all the time. If you choose to grease, do it often, otherwise the bar lube does the job. Ran my saw for 8hr days 5 days a week, plus any firewood on weekends. Never greased once and never had a problem

[@garythbensley1565]

They both work, the bearing will oil itself with chain running, greasing it you have to do everytime you do maintenance.

[@plugger4945]

Garyth Bensley Thank you for the information, and clearing it up for me.

Thank You...

[@mikldude9376]

Good to know , thank you sir , how often would you give these grease points a squirt ?

[@wwdiesel]

Great tip, how often do you recomend greasing it? Also, is Husky's the only one that has this feature? I have four Husqvarnas and one Stihl.

[@brendad6058]

AGAIN, another absolutely terrific video from you! Every time I leave a comment after watching one of your videos I try to express my true love and appreciation for what you do, and how you do it! Too bad the world is not filled with folks like you, it would be a much better place❤ P. S. Don't know how often you are able to check your emails, but I did send you one with a question, hoping that you can get a chance to review it and send me a reply.❤

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

I think there are some comments on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGPOhYGtqbWge5o as to the type of plastic.

[@richardbruce8111]

thank you Steve! used saws for 30 years & you are the best info I ever got Thanks from New Zealand

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Glad to help

[@bigviper64]

Thanks Steve!.. I just had to replace that same bearing and the “E” clip on my Sthill 180C Chain Saw. I ordered the parts from Amazon and had them the next day...I kept all of the un-needed parts in my tool box (Specified as for my Chain Saw). In hind sight, I didn’t know about this small hole in the shaft, however every time I work on ANY engine or car etc. I take detailed photos of everything, so I will go back to my photos to see if I can see that nice little grease hole. I didn’t grease that bearing before I put it on my saw, so I’m sure that I’d better do that right away.

[@markjovanovic9110]

Hey Steve great video. "I learned something day " "oh my God I killed my Chainsaw," now I know about those little holes, I just dripped the tip in heavy motor oil every other job. What's the weight of the grease ? Synthetic?

[@nicodemus7784]

The manual for my 455 rancher says to lay the saw on its side and put a few drops of engine oil down that hole and spin the clutch drum. I havent used my saw in years so i didnt even know the hole was there, thanks for bringing it to my attention
